Our Indoor Air Quality Tests

Are you experiencing allergies like sneezing, coughing, or itchy and watery eyes? Or perhaps you have asthma and are concerned about your indoor air quality? An air quality test can identify the presence of mold spores in your home, whether they are allergenic, pathogenic, or toxigenic. With this information, you can take the necessary steps to address the issue.

How We Conduct an Air Quality Test
We use a precision-calibrated electric pump to capture airborne mold spores in your environment. An air-o-cell cassette attached to the pump collects mold spores from various colonies, which are then analyzed under a microscope by a lab technician. Our service includes:

- A comprehensive report detailing the mold spores present.
- The levels of mold spores along with a glossary of fungi.
- Our professional recommendations.

Please note, we do not perform remediation to avoid any conflict of interest.

How Long Does an Air Quality Test Take?
An air quality test takes about 5 to 10 minutes per sample collected. Including the walk-through inspection, the entire process typically takes no longer than an hour.

Cost of an Air Quality Test
- Service Call: $500
for a specific room and another related room.
- Complete Mold Assessment:$700
Covers every room, including the crawl space, attic, and the exterior of the home.
This plan includes three samples, an inspection, and a full report. Additional samples cost $75 each (surface or air).

The number and type of additional samples needed will be determined during the inspection. The inspector will advise you and get your permission before taking extra samples. Note that air samples require an exterior baseline sample for comparison, as mold spores are a natural part of our environment and enter buildings from outside.

Our inspector will use a moisture reader, infrared camera, and relative humidity meter to look for conditions conducive to mold growth, such as water damage and intrusion.

If your address is over 50 miles from our office, a small one-way trip fee will be added. You will receive the test results within 24-48 business hours (excluding weekends). Payment options will be provided on the invoice, and we will forward your report upon receipt of payment.

Bids are valid for 30 days from receipt. All prices include reports.
