Mold Testing - Mold Inspections
Our Inspection Services
We provide environmental technologies in microbial testing,
analysis and remediation. Our services are in the interest
of human and animal health protection and safety.
Why Professional Testing?
Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who
have specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols,
sampling methods, and interpreting results.
Spores travel when they are disturbed and may attach themselves
elsewhere in another place of moisture in your home. While
these spores are in the air they can also cause serious illnesses
to those in the area.
Microbial Testing and Analysis
The Mold Patrol Testing Unit arrives to take various air
samples. Those samples are then analysed and a detailed report
on the air quality is produced by a third party lab.
Home Inspectors® Mold Inspection Procedure
- Fill in required Chain of Custody for lab analysis
- We collect air samples from different locations using
petri dishes that are sealed and sent for lab count
- An equivalent of 120 litres to 800 litres of air is filtered
through each petri dish sample
- The air samples are labelled according to the testing
location, date and project number
- Third party lab analyses the petri dish samples to report
if mold colonies are present with total count. Identification
of the genus and species.
- From arrival to departure the mold testing inspector takes
about one hour for inspection
Mold Testing - Lab Report
It usually takes several days to get the lab report back.
This report will determine the total count of any existing
mold colonies and identification of genus and species
when specified.
Genus testing is recommended for average residential testing.
Species Testing is recommended for more sensitive environments
such as schools or medical facilities. When discussing
the testing prices with the mold inspector, be sure to discuss
the testing level that will be provided.
Home Inspectors® will forward the lab report to the client
via email, fax or mail and explain the various forms of mold
found. Toxic mold can be life-threatening
and common house mold is known
to be irritating and can also be health threatening. Home
Inspectors® can make recommendations to eliminate or reduce
the problem.
