Testing for Mold + More...
Visual
Inspection
- We identify areas of potential water intrusion, moisture damage, and microbial growth by visually inspecting the roof, exterior, interior, plumbing, HVAC and foundation.
Mold +
Mycotoxins
- We test for 16 specific Mycotoxins and 12 toxigenic Molds with a house-wide dust sample for analysis by RealTime Labs.
- We compare moldiness in three different parts of the home with the USEPA verified Mycometer® air Fungi system.
- We confirm Apparent Surface Mold using the USEPA verified Mycometer® surface Fungi system. We test at least two surfaces such as inside ventilation systems and attics.
Bacteria +
Endotoxins
- We test for Endotoxins with a house-wide air sample for analysis by InBio Labs.
- We confirm Apparent or Invisible Surface Bacteria using the USEPA verified Mycometer® surface Bacteria system. We test at least two surfaces such as leaking drain pipes, past flood stains and damp floor slabs.
Allergens +
VOCs
- We measure Total Airborne Organic Allergens such as fragments from insects, pollen, fungi, skin and hair, using the Mycometer® air Allergen system. One allergen tests is combined with each Mycometer® air Fungi test to give a Fungal Allergen Index that helps us identify if high mold levels are from active fungal growth or just build-up of dirt.
- We test Total VOC levels and provide a Contaminant Index and list of significant VOCs based on a house-wide three hour air sample analysed by Enthalpy Analytical Lab.
- We measure Total Mold VOC Levels to identify hidden mold growth by taking a house-wide air sample for lab analysis by Enthalpy Analytical.
Radon
- We give you a 3 hour snapshot of indoor radon to spot elevated lung cancer risks. In all cases a follow-up Long Term radon test is recommended.
Dangers of Mold & Allergens
High moisture supports an ecosystem of mold, bacteria and pests, all having complex health effects that may be associated with fever, flu, asthma, headache, dizziness, nausea, and body-wide inflammation (such as sarcoidosis).
Extra Benefits of our MoldPLUS Testing
We give you independent confirmation that your clean-up of mold or water damage was successful and that your home is safe to live in. A visually clean home does not guarantee that toxins and allergens are gone.
MoldPLUS Pricing
-
Includes the cost of all test materials and lab fees, valued at over $1,400.
-
All tests are charged at cost, meaning we make no profit off tests.
-
Includes all lab reports, our final report, and unlimited consultations by phone or email.
Are you working with a medical professional to diagnose fungal-related health issues?
We can support you with additional tests of your home following your advisor’s specific instructions, using techniques such as Spore Traps, Bio-cassettes, and Tape Lifts, as well as Beta Glucan air and dust tests, and DNA identification of specific molds using QPCR tests including ERMI, ARMI and HERTSMI-2. Please call us and see how we can help speed up your diagnostic efforts.
Optional Tests You Can Add
Prices below are for tests completed on the same day as a MoldPLUS Inspection. For stand-alone tests please contact us for a quote.
Animal Allergen Tests
Includes the following 7 allergens: Dust Mites (Der f 1, Der p 1), Cockroaches (Bla g 2), Rats (Rat n 1), Mice (Mus m 1), Cats (Fel d 1), and Dogs (Can f 1). We take a house-wide combined dust sample for professional analysis by InBio Labs.
Tobacco Smoke Test
For chemicals indicating second-hand and third-hand tobacco smoke (2,5-Dimethylfuran, 3- Ethenylpyridine, and Nicotine). We take a house-wide air sample for professional analysis by Enthalpy Analytical Lab.
THC and CBD Chemical Test
For Semi-Volatile chemicals specific to THC and CBD residues (does not detect plant growth). We take a house-wide air sample with a thermal desorption tube for professional lab analysis by Enthalpy Analytical.
House Fire Smoke Test
For determination of fire residue in air from Primary and Secondary Fire VOCs – Fire Indicators Only. We take a house-wide air sample for professional analysis by Enthalpy Analytical Lab.
Microscope Dust Analysis
Visual identification of mold categories (outdoor, chronic and water-indicating), fibers, pollen and particles, including potentially toxic or allergenic fiberglass, vermiculite, construction dust, feather fibrils, paint, fire residue, copier toner, and oil residue. We take a house-wide air sample with an impact cassette for professional analysis by Environmental Analysis Associates Inc.
Formaldehyde
We measure Formaldehyde associated with off-gassing from furniture and other materials. We do two air samples with an interference-free formaldehyde detector sensitive to 5 parts per billion.
