What Is Mold Air Sampling?
Mold air sampling is a process used to evaluate airborne mold spore levels inside a home or building. During the inspection, air samples are collected using specialized equipment and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
TrueGrade Home Inspection utilizes the Breeze ET air sampling pump to collect mold air samples during the inspection process. An outdoor control sample is typically collected first to establish a baseline comparison to the indoor environment. Indoor samples are then collected in areas of concern or within the living space to help determine whether elevated mold spore levels may be present.
Mold Surface Sampling
In addition to mold air sampling, TrueGrade Home Inspection also offers mold surface sampling using tape lift samples and swab samples. Surface sampling may be recommended when visible staining or suspected microbial growth is present on building materials or surfaces.
Surface samples are collected and submitted to an accredited laboratory for analysis to help identify the presence and type of mold or organic growth on the sampled material.
When Should You Consider Mold Testing?
Mold testing may be beneficial in homes with:
- Musty or unusual odors
- Past or active water intrusion
- Basement or crawlspace moisture concerns
- Visible staining or suspected mold growth
- Previous flooding or plumbing leaks
- Allergy or indoor air quality concerns
- Real estate transactions or pre-purchase inspections
Not all mold concerns are visible to the naked eye, which is why air sampling and surface sampling can sometimes provide additional information about the indoor environment.
What Clients Receive
Clients receive laboratory-analyzed mold sample results along with detailed findings and documentation. Laboratory reports identify the types and levels of airborne mold spores or surface contaminants detected in the samples collected during the inspection process.
If mold testing is performed in conjunction with a home inspection, the home inspection report is typically delivered the same day or within 24 hours, while mold laboratory results are provided once analysis is completed by the laboratory.
