Mold testing

Find out which molds are in your dust.

A dust sample from your home is analyzed for the DNA of 36 mold species. A swab or tape lift takes a closer look at any spot that worries you.

Why people test

The usual reasons.

A smell you cannot place

A musty note in one room, or in the whole house after rain, is the most common reason people order this kit.

After water got in

A leak, a flood, a slow drip under a sink. Once things dry out, a test tells you whether anything grew.

Before you buy or rent

A dust sample tells you about a home’s mold history before you sign.

The panels

What we look for.

The dust result comes with an ERMI-style index, with the water-damage indicator species listed apart from the common outdoor ones. Mycotoxin panels look for the compounds some molds make.

How sampling works

What you do at home.

  1. Collect the dust

    Wipe a few surfaces you rarely clean with the cloth in your kit. Two minutes, no tools.

  2. Swab or tape any spot

    If something looks off, a swab or a tape lift captures it. The kit shows you exactly how.

  3. Seal and send

    Everything goes back in the prepaid mailer. We tell you when it lands.

Your report

What it tells you.

Your report names the species that matter, says whether the pattern points to one area or the whole house, and ends with the next thing to do.
