Mold Testing Price List
Mold Testing $125.00 (per sample)
We often take air samples during our inspection. Analyzing these samples can help us determine how much of an issue there actually is. That is because certain particles /spores are not visible, and certain types of mold can only be determined through laboratory testing of the samples. Different mold testing methods exist, but one of the most common approaches involves taking air or surface samples. These samples are then sent to a mold testing laboratory for analysis.
Surface samples
Swab, Bulk, and Tape (per sample)
Air samples
Air sample at $125.00 (per sample)
Indoor Air Samples:
Two indoor air samples are collected from the area of concern, such as a specific room or area with visible mold growth. These samples help identify the types and concentrations of mold spores present in the indoor environment.
Outdoor Air Sample:
One outdoor air sample is collected near the building or property being tested. This sample provides a reference or baseline for normal mold levels in the surrounding environment.
EMSL Analytical offers:

Here's how this process works:
Standard Air Quality Testing for mold typically involves collecting two indoor air samples near the area of concern and one outdoor air sample.
This sampling strategy helps establish a comparison between indoor and outdoor mold levels, allowing for a better assessment of potential mold issues inside a building or property.
Comparing the indoor samples to the outdoor sample
By comparing the indoor samples to the outdoor sample, the mold inspector can determine if there are elevated mold spore levels indoors, indicating a potential mold problem.
Investigation and remediation
If the indoor mold spore levels are significantly higher than those found outdoors, it suggests that mold is actively growing indoors and needs further investigation and remediation. It's important to note that Air Quality Testing is just one aspect of a comprehensive mold inspection.
Home Environ will collect samples and send them to EMSL, an independent laboratory, for analysis. Here's how such a process typically works: Initial Inspection: Home Environ inspects your home to identify areas of potential mold growth. Sample Collection: They collect samples through methods like air sampling, surface swabs, or bulk material sampling. Lab Analysis: The samples are sent to an independent laboratory for professional analysis, which determines the type and concentration of mold. Report: A detailed report is provided to you, often including findings.
TYPES OF MOLD TESTING
A non-intrusive visual inspection is considered the lowest level of mold confirmation; however, when visual confirmation cannot be made, the next level is scientific, which includes swabs, tapes, bulk samples, and air sampling, and then intrusive. Intrusive would require physically removing building materials until the mold contamination is found. Intrusive is typically the last resort.
Bulk sampling
Bulk sampling involves collecting samples of materials, such as drywall or insulation, and analyzing them for mold.
Air sampling Air sampling
Air sampling is the most common type of mold testing and inspection. It involves taking an air sample from the area where mold is suspected.
ERMI sampling
ERMI test uses dust to determine the likely amount of mold present in an area. It uses DNA-based methods to determine the mold type.
SWAB
Swab sampling is the recommended method for sampling visible mold growth. Once the swab has been collected, it can be sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Lift Tape
Tape lifts are an excellent, non-destructive method of sampling. The samples are collected by pressing a clear adhesive onto the suspect surface.
Once the analysis is complete, EMSL provides a comprehensive lab report detailing the findings. Home Enviro LLC interprets these results for the homeowner, explaining any identified issues and their potential implications for health and safety and recommended actions for mitigation or remediation when needed.
POST REMEDIATION VERIFICATION PRICE
PRV Testing $375.00 (POST REMEDIATION VERIFICATION TESTING)
PRV is typically performed by an independent third-party mold inspector to verify that the remediation process was effective and successfully addressed the underlying cause of the mold issue.
PRV TESTING
PRV testing included three samples: two air samples and one swab sample.
Here's how this process works:
Post-remediation verification (PRV), also known as Clearance Testing, is a crucial step in the mold remediation process. It involves conducting additional mold testing and inspections after remediation to ensure the affected area is free from mold contamination. This documentation is essential for future reference, property transactions, or potential legal requirements.
Confirmation of Remediation Success:
It involves conducting additional mold testing and inspections after remediation to ensure that the mold remediation efforts were successful and that the affected area is now free from mold contamination.
Insurance and Legal Compliance
Insurance companies or legal entities may require PRV as part of the mold remediation process to verify that the remediation was completed successfully and complies with industry standards.
Post-remediation verification is a critical step in the mold remediation process. It provides validation and confidence that the property is mold-free and safe for reoccupation.
