From basic air quality screening to forensic-level fungal investigation — the right test for your situation.
💨
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 Lake Forest, IL air quality assessment.
🏭
Viable Culture Air Sampling
When genus-level ID isn't enough, viable culture plates give you species confirmation. Critical for Stachybotrys chartarum investigation and occupational health documentation in Lake Forest, IL.
🎖
Surface Swab & Tape Lift Sampling
Surface sampling from visible staining in your Lake Forest property confirms whether it's mold (not just discoloration) and which species — important for remediation protocol decisions.
📄
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 Lake Forest, IL clearance testing uses the same accredited lab protocol as pre-remediation sampling, so results are directly comparable.
🏢
HVAC & Ductwork Air Testing
Testing at HVAC registers and returns identifies whether the air distribution system is a mold source. High spore counts at registers compared to room-level samples indicate the system is contributing to indoor air quality problems — a critical finding before any duct cleaning or coil remediation decision in Lake Forest.
🔋
Bulk & ERMI Sampling
ERMI dust sampling for your Lake Forest 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.
