What does mold testing involve?
We collect air samples indoors and outdoors for accredited-lab comparison, take surface or swab samples from any visible growth, and map moisture behind walls and floors with meters and a thermal camera. The lab report identifies the spore types and concentrations present.
Why test for mold in Mound, MN?
Mound wraps around the western bays of Lake Minnetonka with older cottages and upscale lakefront homes. Lakeshore property means constant ground moisture, and Mound's many finished lower levels and patchwork additions create the hidden, poorly ventilated cavities where mold thrives unseen. Testing tells you what is growing, how much, and — just as important — where the water feeding it is coming from.
Can't I just see mold if it's there?
Not always. Mold often grows behind drywall, under flooring, and in crawl spaces where it is hidden from view. Air sampling and moisture mapping detect growth and the dampness feeding it even when nothing is visible on the surface.
How long does mold testing take?
On-site sampling and moisture mapping take about 45 to 60 minutes when added to your home inspection. Samples then go to an accredited lab, and we deliver the results with clear next steps once the analysis is back.
