FAQs
What are common signs of mold?
Musty odors, staining/discoloration, past leaks, persistent humidity, and symptoms that worsen indoors are common warning signs.
What’s the difference between air and surface samples?
Air samples evaluate what’s in the breathing environment. Surface samples identify growth on a specific material. Many situations benefit from using both strategically.
Do I get a report?
Yes. You receive a clear report with photos and lab results. If mold is confirmed, you also receive a remediation protocol.
What is clearance testing?
Clearance testing confirms remediation was successful before you fully sign off and re-occupy with confidence.
Is all mold dangerous?
Some molds are more concerning than others, but even common mold can trigger reactions and indicate moisture problems that should be addressed.
Can I just clean mold with bleach?
Surface cleaning may hide staining, but it often doesn’t solve the underlying moisture issue—especially on porous materials. A professional inspection identifies what’s actually happening and what should be removed versus treated.
What indoor humidity should I maintain?
Generally, 30%–50% is ideal. Consistently high humidity increases mold risk.
