A Mold Inspection
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean different things. Both are necessary parts of the process that determines whether you have a mold problem.
A Mold Inspection is the process of looking for sources of moisture that can cause mold growth.
A Mold Test is collecting samples of anything thought to be mold that’s discovered during the Mold Inspection. If any samples are collected, they are sent to a trusted laboratory for analysis.
Analysis determines if the samples collected really do contain mold, and what types and amounts of mold are present.
All Mold Tests fall into two basic categories:
- Surface Mold Tests take samples from walls and ceilings, but also from objects like clothing or furniture.
- Air Quality Tests collects samples from the air to determine the types and amounts of mold you may be breathing.
