We are certified in mold
inspection CMI# 7739
A visual inspection will cost between $150
- $250 depending on the size of the building (up to 2500 sq. ft.).
If a structure is suspected to have mold, but there is no visual
evidence, air samples can be taken.
If there is a visible area of
growth that you need remediated: attic, crawlspace etc., a free
remediation estimate can be given at the time of the
inspection.
Sampling costs Air Samples $125.00 ea.
Tape Lift $120.00 ea. Bulk Sample $120.00 ea. Swab Sample
$120.00 ea. Allergen Screen $170.00 ea. Carpet Check $145.00
ea.(All of the following samples require lab work and need to be sent
to a 3rd party biology lab).
Special rates may apply for
multiple tests.
Please allow 5 business days for test results, or if results are
needed sooner, a $75 upcharge per day will apply. ( Results available
within as little as 24 hrs).

Visual Inspection Process:
The first
step in properly evaluating a potential mold problem is the visual
inspection. Throughout this phase an inspector is looking for three
things, evidence of previous moisture intrusion, evidence of mold growth
and areas with a potential for future mold infestation. An assessment
typically covers the interior living space, basement, attic and crawl
space. Exterior surfaces are examined for evidence of water damage /
intrusion and potential for future problem areas.
Surface
Sampling
Surface / Bulk sampling is used to identify a mold
type at a specific location. This technique is useful also in ruling out
possible discolorations or staining that sometimes exhibit mold like
characteristics. Typically a cotton swab or piece of clear tape is used to
collect a small quantity of material. In turn this is analyzed either with
a fungi screen or culture analysis. Aero Tech Laboratory performs the
testing procedures for these results.
Air Testing
Procedure
Air sampling is the most effective method for
determining whether a mold infestation is potentially creating an unsafe
living environment. Our testing procedure incorporates the Aero Tech
Laboratory Aero-Cell cassette. Air quality is tested by drawing 15 cubic
liters of air per min and impacting the airborne particles over a glass
substrate. Typically the process runs for 5 minutes, producing a sample
size of 75 cubic liters. Next, the cassette is sent to a laboratory, where
the spores are identified and counted. These numbers alone do not give us
enough information to accurately determine the level of contamination.
Outside control samples are needed to identify the quantity of mold found
in the natural environment.
