Orlando mold inspection and testing is how we obtain material evidence that backs up our statements about the condition of your home or business. Standard mold levels are present in all indoor environments. A method of air sampling involves comparing several samples taken from within to an outside sample. This serves as a control, and establishes a baseline for what is normal. We will recommend that you collect a surface sample whenever there is visible growth. We can identify the source of the problem by matching the type of mold found in the air to the physical sample. Swab samples are also important because of another reason. Black toxic mold is a particular type of harmful mold that is not always found in the air. Therefore, it is crucial to determine exactly what this growth could be.

If you go the DIY route while testing for black mold, you will need to purchase a mold testing kit from a hardware or home repair store, take samples of the air and affected areas yourself, and then send these in to a testing facility, which will report back as to which type of mold is present.
