Different questions require different sampling methods. We help you choose the right test for your specific situation — not a default package that applies regardless of context.
Non-Viable
💨Spore Trap Air Sampling
Spore trap cassettes collect all airborne particles — viable and non-viable — and are analyzed under microscopy for mold genus identification and spore concentration. Results typically return in 24–48 hours from an accredited lab. Compared against an outdoor baseline, this data shows whether indoor spore counts are elevated and which genera are present. Standard method for routine Dundalk, MD residential and commercial air quality assessment.
Viable
🏭Viable Culture Air Sampling
Viable culture plates capture live, culturable mold spores that grow on culture media — allowing species-level identification and colony-forming unit counts. Results take 5–7 business days but provide species-level data that spore traps can't. Used when species-level identification matters: Stachybotrys confirmation, occupational health documentation, or situations where genus-level data from spore traps isn't sufficient for your Dundalk, MD use case.
Surface
🎖Surface Swab & Tape Lift Sampling
Surface sampling confirms whether visible discoloration in your Dundalk property is actually mold (not staining or efflorescence) and identifies the species present — affecting which removal protocol and PPE level is appropriate.
ERMI
🔋ERMI Floor Dust Sampling
ERMI provides a historical record of mold accumulation — not just what's airborne right now. Useful in Dundalk properties where symptoms are present but spore trap sampling comes back normal, or for verifying long-term post-remediation success.
HVAC
🏢HVAC Register & Return Air Testing
Register-versus-room comparative sampling confirms whether your Dundalk, MD HVAC system is a mold amplifier. Knowing before spending on duct cleaning whether cleaning will actually help is worth the testing cost.
Clearance
📄Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
Independent post-remediation testing compares treated zone air samples to outdoor baseline — confirming indoor spore counts returned to acceptable levels before re-occupancy. Our Dundalk, MD clearance testing uses the same accredited lab protocol as pre-remediation sampling, producing directly comparable data that demonstrates the remediation achieved its objective.
