How Does Mold Testing Work?
Mold testing works by collecting samples from the air or surfaces in a home or business. There are several methods for collecting samples, including air sampling, surface sampling, and bulk sampling. Each method has its own benefits and drawbacks, and the method used will depend on the specific circumstances of the mold problem.
Air sampling involves taking air samples from the environment using a specialized pump. The samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Surface sampling involves taking swabs or tape lifts from surfaces where mold is suspected to be growing. Bulk sampling involves collecting pieces of material, such as drywall or insulation, to be analyzed for the presence of mold.

Our Working Process
Containment and Ventilation
The first step, and arguably the most important, is setting up containment and ventilation. The use of proper ventilation and air filtration devices (AFDs) such as air scrubbers is required to ensure that mold spores that are disturbed and become airborne are not spreading to an uninfected area.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning and disinfecting are the next step, and this is the stage that includes the actual remediation and disposal of infected materials. After the cleaning and disinfecting, the technicians apply biocide/fungicide/moldicide solutions.
Fix the Mold Source
The next step is where the technicians address any moisture or humidity concerns. For example, if a loose bathroom fan duct is running into an attic, the fan duct may be fixed.
Encapsulate the Mold
The mold that has not been removed can be encapsulated by paint or a similar material. Encapsulation is an approved method of dealing with mold in a home, though it is only an approved method when most of the mold is removed and the affected area is totally dry. The source or cause of the mold should be fixed prior to painting or caulking. Encapsulating wet active mold sources is not an approved method.
All Mold Is Toxic Mold
According to the Centers for Disease Control: “While certain molds are toxigenic, meaning they can produce toxins (specifically mycotoxins), the molds themselves are not toxic, or poisonous.” And while it is possible for toxigenic molds to produce rare health conditions such as pulmonary hemorrhage or memory loss, this rarely happens. This is not to say that mold cannot produce health issues. People should be educated with a clear understanding of the risks of mold, but not made to panic or caused undue alarm.
When to Call a Professional
Mold remediation companies certainly do good work when the mold is widespread and is in a public institution or in commercial buildings. While most mold is not toxic, some mold can be hazardous. For this, you want a licensed, experienced professional dealing with the mold.

Areas of the Home That Develop Mold
All places where water is found can develop mold. An excessive amount of humidity in a house can condense and cause mold. Ironically, newer homes often experience more mold growth than older ones because they are more tightly insulated. Fiberglass insulation provides fertile ground for mold growth and makes it difficult to eradicate and remove.

The Process of Mold Remediation
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that any moldy areas less than 10 square feet (about 3 feet by 3 feet) can be remediated by the homeowner. Beyond that, you may want to talk to a mold remediation contractor. In most cases, it is better to have a mold remediation contractor do the work than a general contractor.
You will need to use a product such as a Mold Stat. If a space with 3 feet by 3 feet of mold growth is heavily concentrated or near the HVAC system, it should be contained to prevent dispersal.
