Did you know that Mold Inspectors are required not only to be Certified, but also carry Insurance for testings? Surprisingly, most people are unaware of this fact. This leads to uninsured and inept mold inspection contractors being trusted to deliver vital test results which could cost you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run.

  2. Mold Testing Lima • Did you know that Mold Inspectors are required not only to be Certified, but also carry Insurance for testings? Surprisingly, most people are unaware of this fact. This leads to uninsured and inept mold inspection contractors being trusted to deliver vital test results which could cost you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run. Not having the appropriate data collected by a Certified Mold Inspector is just throwing your money away. We are Certified in Mold Inspection receiving perfect test scores in all categories and are fully insured to carry out any mold testing you may need. We proudly serve the Philadelphia, PA area.

  3. Air Sampling • Air Sampling is the use of a Bio-Pump which employs forced air to impact spores onto a collection media or cassette. Samples are generally best taken if visual, non-invasive examination reveals apparent mold growth or conditions that could lead to growth, such as moisture intrusion or water damage. Samples are laboratory tested and analyzed and will identify if mold is present, the type of mold and the spore counts against a control. A control is an outdoor sample taken at the inspection to measure the interior air against the outdoor air as a comparison. • ProsCollection Medias or Cassettes are laboratory tested from accredited firms.High level of accuracy and detailed mold reports.Fairly inexpensive against other forms of mold tests. • ConsLimited range or square foot coverage.Multiple samples are needed for detailed analysis.Limited to only collecting spores to which are airborne.

  4. Surface Sampling • Surface sampling is a method of sampling a suspect area directly and then submitting that sample to a laboratory for results. Is can determine and identify molds actually growing on the surface sampled, as opposed to the mere presence of mold spores. • ProsGreat for sampling visible mold growth.Can reveal spores prior to becoming airborne.Fairly inexpensive. • ConsOnly for surface contact

  5. Bacterial Swab Analysis • Bacterial Swabs are similar in procedure to other swab testings, but the swab itself isn’t sent to a lab. Rather, a handheld device gives an immediate reading once the swab is placed into the unit after the suspect area has been lifted. This is a great tool for food industry to insure surfaces being used on a daily basis are free from bacteria and employees are keeping up with their industry standard responsibilities. • ProsImmediate ResultsInexpensive • ConsUnable to Identify MoldsUnable to Separate Mold From BacteriaNo Lab Results

  6. Dust Sampling • Is a method of determining whether the surface spore population represents a normal population or is skewed, indicating the possibility of mold growth in an area. Marker spores indicative of mold growth may also be noted • ProsSamples are known to show the “History” of what has been in the airDirect examination may be immediately analyzed. • ConsCan be difficult to interpretResults reliant on many difficult to control factors

  7. Cavity Sampling • This method is the same as air sampling, but it used to test behind walls or in cavities. A hose is attached directly to the cassette and then inserted into the wall or cavity for direct area testing. • ProsSamples collected allow to see if there is any potential growth in an unfrozen area.Will determine if mold exists behind a wall where regular air testing might not be able to trap. • ConsHoles made large enough for the hose to fit into will have to be later repaired by a third party company.
