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
The workhorse of mold air testing. Fast turnaround (24–48hr), genus-level ID, quantified indoor vs. outdoor comparison. Appropriate for most routine Georgetown residential and commercial testing scenarios.
Viable
🏭Viable Culture Air Sampling
When genus ID isn't enough, viable culture plates give species-level confirmation. Critical for Stachybotrys chartarum investigation and situations where CFU counts and exact species matter — typically health-concern investigations and some insurance scenarios in Georgetown, GA.
Surface
🎖Surface Swab & Tape Lift Sampling
Surface swab samples from visible growth areas are sent to an accredited lab for culture analysis or direct microscopy — confirming whether visible discoloration is mold and identifying the genus/species. Tape lifts provide a faster direct-microscopy option for surface assessment. Used when the presence of mold on a specific surface needs to be confirmed and identified before committing to a removal scope.
ERMI
🔋ERMI Floor Dust Sampling
ERMI provides a historical record of mold accumulation — not just what's airborne right now. Useful in Georgetown 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
Testing directly at HVAC supply registers and return grilles identifies whether the air distribution system is distributing mold spores throughout the property. Elevated counts at registers compared to room-level samples confirm the AHU or ductwork as the amplification source — critical before any duct cleaning or coil remediation decision in your Georgetown building.
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 Georgetown, GA clearance testing uses the same accredited lab protocol as pre-remediation sampling, producing directly comparable data that demonstrates the remediation achieved its objective.
