Air Quality/ Mold Testing
Molds are an essential part of the natural environment. Outdoors, they break down dead organic matter. But indoors, molds are potentially toxic, and their growth should be prevented.
About Our Lab
If you're looking for the most technologically advanced mold and indoor air quality lab analysis and reporting on the market, you've come to the right place!
By developing AI tools that assist human technologists in reading mold & air quality samples, Sporecyte technology enables faster, more accurate and consistent results than competing labs.
And perhaps equally important to providing high quality analysis, the final report is something a non-scientist can understand!
Example Pages from Final Report
There are many types of mold, and they reproduce by means of microscopic, airborne spores. Mold can start growing indoors and land on surfaces that are damp. Exposure to mold by inhaling or touching mold spores can cause allergic reactions and irritation to the lungs, eyes, skin, nose and throat.
Mold that gets established can gradually destroy the things it grows on, including home furnishings and structural components.
You can prevent damage to your home and furnishings, save money, and avoid health problems by controlling unwanted moisture intrusion and eliminating potential mold growth.
If you’d like Rosie Home Inspections to include a basic air sampling package to test for mold when we perform your general home inspection, we can offer this package for $369.
If you'd like us to perform this service alone, the cost is $429.
We partner with a company called Sporecyte for our testing equipment and lab analysis. After collecting mold samples, we provide our client's with a professional lab analysis within 1-3 business days.
How Our Air Quality (Mold) Sampling & Visual Inspection Service Works
Our testing services includes up to four mold samples - one of these is the outdoor baseline.
Baseline Sample
We collect an air sample outside of the house to establish a baseline of the mold types/spore quantity that is natural to the environment.
Interior Air Sample(s)
We collect at least two air samples in the house, and may collect one more depending on the home's setup ie more than two levels. These samples are then compared to the exterior baseline sample in the lab.
Interior Surface Growth
We look for visible surface growth during the visual examination of the interior space. If growth is viewed, we recommend you follow the EPA's recommendations for treatment and/or removal (see guide above). If specifically advised by client, we can take a surface sample. Additional fees apply if more than four total samples are desired.
