Our Proven Mold Testing Process
Initial Visual Assessment & Documentation
Our certified inspectors begin every mold assessment with a thorough visual examination of your property, documenting potential moisture sources, ventilation issues, and any visible signs of mold growth. We photograph and map areas of concern, creating a comprehensive baseline for our technical analysis.
Advanced Thermal Imaging Mold Detection
Using state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras, we identify hidden moisture problems behind walls, under floors, and in ceiling areas where mold often develops undetected. This non-invasive technology reveals temperature variations that indicate potential water intrusion and mold growth areas invisible to standard visual inspection.
Precise Moisture Meter Readings
Our certified inspectors use professional-grade moisture meters to measure the exact moisture content in building materials. These precise readings help identify the scope of moisture problems and determine which areas require sampling, ensuring comprehensive assessment without unnecessary testing.
Professional Air & Surface Sampling
We collect strategic air samples and surface samples using sterile collection methods that ensure accurate laboratory analysis. Our sampling protocols follow industry standards, capturing representative samples that provide reliable data about mold species, concentration levels, and potential health risks.
Laboratory Analysis & Detailed Reporting
All samples undergo analysis at certified laboratories, providing scientifically accurate identification of mold species and concentration levels. Our detailed reports include either clearance letters for mold-free properties or comprehensive mold remediation protocols, giving you clear guidance for protecting your health and property investment.

What Our Satisfied Customers Say Online
Eve Viloria
We reached out for a mold inspection which started very stressful as one more thing to do for this house. Yet once I spoke to Leilani, it put my mind at ease. They were professional, responsive, and thorough. The inspector Jason made it simple and objective. Hiring them gave the best peace of mind!
I would use them again 100%.
Our standard laboratory turnaround time is 3-4 business days for complete analysis. Each air sample takes 5 minutes to collect, and surface samples are equally quick. We send all samples to independent, certified laboratories for precise species identification and spore concentration analysis. Same-day or next-day results are available for urgent situations at an additional cost (the time of your appointment can affect this). After receiving lab results, we provide a comprehensive written report with clear explanations and specific recommendations.
DIY mold test kits are significantly less accurate than professional testing. Studies show over 80% of home kits produce false results due to contamination, improper sampling, and lack of control samples. DIY kits can't measure spore concentrations or differentiate between dangerous and harmless mold types. Professional testing uses calibrated equipment, controlled airflow, and certified laboratories with a proper chain of custody. We collect both indoor and outdoor samples for accurate comparison - something DIY kits cannot provide. For reliable results that protect your family's health, professional testing is essential.
Laboratory testing identifies up to 22 different mold types, including common varieties like Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium, as well as dangerous strains such as Stachybotrys (black mold). While it does not test for every mold species in existence, this panel covers the most relevant indoor molds that pose health and structural risks. Our lab analysis provides both qualitative identification (what types are present) and quantitative measurement (how much). Results show specific species, spore counts per cubic meter, and percentages compared to outdoor levels. This detailed information helps determine potential health risks and the appropriate remediation methods. Some molds are primarily allergenic, while others may produce mycotoxins—making accurate identification essential for proper response and protection.
Schedule mold testing immediately if water damage occurred more than 24-48 hours ago, as mold can begin growing rapidly in moist conditions. Even if areas appear dry, hidden moisture behind walls or under flooring can harbor mold growth. Testing is essential after floods, pipe leaks, roof damage, or any significant water intrusion. We recommend testing 3-5 days after water damage to allow time for any mold to establish detectable levels. Early detection prevents extensive contamination and costly remediation. Sacramento's climate makes prompt testing especially important after winter storms or plumbing failures.
Your lab report includes mold species identification, spore counts per cubic meter, and comparison to outdoor control samples. Indoor levels significantly higher than outdoor levels indicate a problem requiring attention. We provide clear interpretation in plain English, explaining which molds are allergenic versus potentially toxic, and what the concentration levels mean for your health. Normal results show indoor levels similar to or lower than outdoor samples, while elevated results trigger our detailed remediation protocol. As an unbiased testing company, we explain findings objectively without sales pressure for unnecessary services. If you still have questions after reviewing your report, we also provide tech support to walk you through the results and ensure you fully understand the findings.
Yes, post-remediation clearance testing is essential to verify successful mold removal and ensure your home is safe for occupancy. This independent verification provides documentation that remediation was completed properly with no remaining elevated spore levels. Visual inspection alone isn't sufficient - airborne spores can remain even when surfaces appear clean. Clearance testing protects your investment, provides peace of mind, and creates documentation for insurance or real estate purposes. We recommend waiting 24-48 hours after remediation completion before clearance testing to allow air to stabilize and ensure accurate results.
Elevated mold levels in your home can cause a range of health symptoms, often resembling allergic reactions or respiratory issues. Common signs include persistent coughing, sneezing, wheezing, or shortness of breath, especially in individuals with asthma or allergies. You might also experience nasal congestion, sore throat, itchy or watery eyes, and skin irritation like rashes or hives. Some people report fatigue, headaches, or difficulty concentrating, which can be linked to mold exposure, particularly in sensitive individuals. If these symptoms worsen indoors or improve when you leave the home, it could indicate elevated mold levels. Always consult a healthcare professional for persistent symptoms and consider testing your home for mold if you suspect an issue.
