Mold Surface Sampling
Identify Mold with Certainty
Sometimes, the presence of mold isn’t visually obvious, and other times, that suspicious brown spot on your wall raises concern. FL Home Inspections and Mold Assessments utilize precise surface sampling techniques to determine whether these suspicions should be concerns. Collecting samples directly from suspected or visible mold growths on various surfaces can confirm mold’s presence and identify specific strains.

Our Process
We employ various methods such as tape lifts, swabs, and direct material sampling to collect mold from surfaces. This type of testing can be performed independently or alongside air sampling for a comprehensive mold assessment. All samples are analyzed by an independent laboratory, ensuring unbiased results and detailed identification of any mold found.
Understanding Surface Sampling
Surface sampling confirms the presence of mold and offers insight into the types of mold present and their potential impact. Here’s how it contributes to mold detection and assessment:
- Visual Confirmation: Directly tests if spots or discolorations are molds.
- Type Identification: Determines the specific types of mold growing on surfaces.
- Spore Population Analysis: Assesses whether the amount and types of spores are typical for a healthy environment or indicative of a problem.
- Marker Spore Detection: Identifies marker spores that signify indoor mold growth, which is crucial for targeted remediation.
When to Consider Surface Sampling
- When you see potential mold growth on surfaces.
- As part of a comprehensive indoor air quality assessment.
- Following water damage or in environments prone to moisture.
