Mold Testing & Sampling

Mold is a common discovery during the inspection process. When an inspector discovers mold they will place this discovery into their inspection report, which often prompts a second inspection to test the mold’s severity and type. By sampling the visible mold at the time of the inspection, the client will not have to incur the extra costs of bringing in another inspector or second trip.

There are over 100,000 different types of molds present in homes and there are no specific standards for which a pass or fail can be determined. So much about mold is subjective to the human body and tolerance levels vary from one species to another.  Molds can be divided into three criterias: allergenic, toxigenic, and pathogenic. By sampling the mold, the results will help separate the mold into those three groups and help create a direction and action plan.
