Every testing scenario covered with accredited methodology.
💨
Non-Viable Spore Trap Air Sampling
Spore trap cassettes collect airborne particles that are then analyzed under microscopy to identify mold genera and count spore concentrations. Compared against an outdoor baseline sample, this data shows whether indoor spore counts are elevated and which genera are present. Fastest turnaround for routine Hillside, IL air quality assessment.
🏭
Viable Culture Air Sampling
Culture plates capture live, culturable mold spores that then grow in the lab — allowing species-level identification and colony-forming unit counts. Used when species-level data matters: occupational health concerns, Stachybotrys investigation, or situations where genus-level data from spore traps isn't sufficient for your Hillside, IL use case.
🎖
Surface Swab & Tape Lift Sampling
Surface samples collected from visible growth areas — swabs for culture analysis or tape lifts for direct microscopy — identify the species present on specific surfaces. Used to confirm whether visible staining is mold and which genus/species is involved before committing to remediation scope.
📄
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
After mold remediation, clearance testing compares treated zone air samples to outdoor baseline — confirming indoor spore counts are back to acceptable levels before re-occupancy. Our Hillside, IL clearance testing uses the same accredited lab protocol as pre-remediation sampling, so results are directly comparable.
🏢
HVAC & Ductwork Air Testing
Register-versus-room comparative sampling identifies whether your Hillside, IL HVAC system is amplifying or distributing mold — essential before deciding whether duct cleaning will actually help.
🔋
Bulk & ERMI Sampling
ERMI dust sampling for your Hillside property gives a historical picture of mold accumulation — useful when symptoms are present but air sampling comes back normal, or when assessing long-term remediation success.
