FAQ

Do at-home mold test kits work?

We don't recommend at-home mold test kits because they give you incomplete information. They can tell you what types of mold you've got in your home, but do not do a good job of telling you if the amount of mold in your home is abnormally high or not. That's why we recommend air testing and surface testing - which remain mold industry standards.

How long does mold testing take?

We ship your samples via FedEx to a testing facility. Within 2-3 business days of your inspection, you will receive a copy of the lab results and a written inspection report.

What to do if your home test positive for mold?

You have two options — hire a professional or try to remove the mold yourself. We recommend hiring a professional remediation company to remove mold.

6. You are a buyer or seller in a real estate transaction and need evidence whether airborne mold levels are not normalized.
