What are the most common professional mold testing methods?

1. Mold Spore Air Testing - This is the best test to perform when you may have instances of hidden mold in your home. This test can also check your home's air quality. In this test, we compare a sample of outdoor air with indoor air to determine the level of mold spores.

2. Swab Testing - A swab test is used when we know there's mold growth, but we want to determine the species. A sterile cotton swab is used to collect a sample of the growth. The sample is sent to a lab for analysis.

3. Tape-Lift Sampling - We perform this test when we have cases of discoloration but want to determine if it's mold. Using a sticky piece of material, we collect a sample to send to a lab for culture and analysis.
