Testing for mold is not always simple, but we’re here to help.
Your first step should be to define your objectives and purpose for testing:
- Litigation Purposes
- Health Reasons
- Post Remediation Clearance Testing
- Peace of Mind That You Don’t Have Mold In Your Environment
Whatever the reason you are testing for mold, you need a testing strategy. At the Indoor Microbial Specialist (IMS), we are happy to discuss your objectives and assist you in developing your plan.
Testing for Mold: Litigation
For the strongest case possible, you’ll need to know the species of mold you are dealing with. It is in your best interest to have a disinterested, 3rd party to perform the test for you. It is also recommended to undergo multiple tests in order to support your case. If water damage was a problem, you will also want to test for environmental bacteria, as this has the potential to make you very ill.
Testing for Mold: Health Reasons
Is your environment making you sick? You will need medical testing in conjunction with your environmental testing for a complete analysis.
