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.
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 $339.
If you'd like us to perform this service alone, the cost is $399.
We partner with a company called Pro-Lab 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 Testing Works
Our testing services includes up to 4 mold samples.
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 air samples on each level of the house - these will be compared to the exterior baseline sample in the lab.
Interior Surface Sample(s)
If during the visual examination of the interior space possible mold growth is identified, we may take a surface/tape sample to check for surface growth.
