The Importance of Air Sampling During Mold Inspections
Taking air samples during a mold inspection is essential for accurately detecting and identifying mold spores that are invisible to the naked eye. Laboratory analysis of these samples reveals the types of mold present and helps determine the extent and severity of the mold problem. This information is critical for assessing potential health risks and human exposure to mold spores.
Air samples are typically collected from various areas inside the home, including the HVAC system, using a specialized pump that pulls air through a collection device to capture mold spores. The samples are then sent to a certified laboratory for detailed analysis. After mold remediation, follow-up air sampling is performed to verify that all mold has been successfully removed, ensuring your indoor environment is safe and healthy.
Surface sampling -Mold Test
Surface Sampling for Mold Inspection
A surface sample is used when visible mold growth is suspected, and a client wants detailed information about the mold present on a specific area. This type of sampling targets a small area—approximately one square inch—of the affected surface. Because mold colonies can contain multiple types of mold species, a surface sample only provides information about that specific spot.
Surface sampling helps answer important questions such as:
- Is mold present at the sampled location?
- What genus of mold is found?
- Can the mold species be identified, depending on the sampling method?
This method is especially useful for identifying the type of mold growing on visible surfaces and guiding effective mold remediation strategies.
