We’re going outside the box in the final installment of our mold sampling series. You might think that mold inspections are the only thing we do just based on our name. And while they are a mainstay, we also provide a range of specialty sampling and testing services that investigate other environmental hazards that could potentially be impacting your property and your health. In this episode, Craig, Mike, and Brandon are going to dive into:

· Bacteria Sampling – typically used when there is a contaminated water loss, such as sewage

· Water Sampling that tests for common contamination in water systems

· Allergy testing that addresses indoor allergens

· Safe water plans

And more!

When it comes to mold testing and sampling, no test is the end-all, be-all. Each case we face is unique, and the testing and sampling should reflect that. As your mold consultants, our goal is to always give you the most accurate information to protect your home and health. While basic sampling provides us with vital data, sometimes we just need to dig deeper. qPCR sampling is a type of testing that results in an overall contamination rating for a space. It uses a unique type of sample collection to evaluate a space at a deep level looking for contamination from a specific set of molds. It can also provide insight into the history of a property to indicate if contamination may have been building up over several years

As your mold consultants, it is our job to find the most accurate and cost-effective solution for you. The more data points we have, the more defined recommendations we can give you. But where does that data come from? In addition to a physical inspection, it comes from sampling. Mold sampling can tell us precisely what is impacting a property and then lead us to the next steps of how to solve the issue. But how do you know which samples to use and when?
