Inexpensive Mold Testing For Your Office Or Home!
Collect Mold Samples Yourself And Save Money
Mold is recognized as a health hazard and a destroyer of property value. Hiring a professional for on-site mold testing can be expensive (may cost over $1,500.00) since they will charge for their time to collect the samples and the laboratory fee. By collecting samples yourself and sending them directly to a recognized laboratory saves you on "professional" fee which is always higher than the laboratory fee. If you suspect you have a mold problem in your home or office, we suggest, as a first step, a do-it-yourself mold testing. It's fast, inexpensive and the most effective method to quickly confirm suspect mold growth. With this initial test, you will be able to decide if hiring a professional for more extensive testing or remediation is necessary.
Your samples will be analyzed at Mold & Bacteria Consulting Laboratories, a leading mold testing laboratory in North America.
Within 24 working hours (after we receive the samples), we'll send you an easy-to-understand laboratory report:
- identifying the mold from your sample,
- explaining any known health problems associated with the identified mold,
- providing additional information to help you decide if you need to hire a professional.
