Testing

Another important aspect of mold inspection and remediation is mold testing in San Diego. Testing for mold will identify types of fungus and or the quantity of its presence. Direct surface samples will often show the type of mold and the concentration in the area tested. This test is performed with a tape lift applied to a microscopic slide. Air sampling will show you a snapshot of the air you breathe in a concerned area or room of your home. This type of sampling is collected with a special vacuum pump and will indicate the amount and types of mold found within the indoor air. This sample is then compared to an outdoor sample collected at the same time. All samples collected are delivered to an accredited laboratory, where mycologists can examine and report their findings.
