what is mold testing

What Is Mold Testing?

Mold testing is a scientific process used to measure the presence, concentration, and type of mold spores inside a building. Unlike a visual inspection, mold testing provides laboratory-verified data that confirms indoor air quality conditions and identifies potential health risks.

Professional mold testing focuses on:

  • Measuring airborne mold spore levels
  • Identifying mold species through lab analysis
  • Detecting hidden or non-visible mold growth
  • Evaluating indoor air quality
  • Supporting remediation, insurance, or legal documentation

Mold testing is commonly performed in homes, apartment complexes, commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and industrial properties.

How Our NORMI-Certified Mold Testing
Process Works

All mold testing performed by ES America follows strict environmental testing protocols to ensure reliable, unbiased results.

Initial Assessment & Sampling Strategy

Our NORMI-certified inspectors evaluate the property to determine the most effective sampling locations, based on building layout, airflow patterns, moisture sources, and areas of concern.

Air Mold Testing

Air samples are collected using calibrated equipment to measure airborne mold spore concentrations. These samples help determine whether indoor levels exceed normal outdoor baselines.

Surface & Bulk Sampling

When visible or suspected mold is present, we may collect:

  • Swab samples
  • Tape-lift samples
  • Bulk material samples

These methods help identify the exact mold species growing on surfaces or materials.

Mold Testing vs Mold Inspection

Although closely related, mold testing and mold inspection serve different purposes.

Mold Inspection

A mold inspection focuses on identifying conditions that allow mold growth, locating moisture sources, and determining the extent of contamination.

  • Identifies visible and hidden mold 
  • Locates moisture intrusion 
  • Evaluates building conditions 

May not include lab testing

Mold Testing

Mold testing provides scientific confirmation of mold presence and type through laboratory analysis.

  • Measures mold spore levels

  • Identifies specific mold species

  • Evaluates indoor air quality

  • Requires accredited lab analysis

Most projects begin with an inspection, followed by testing when confirmation or documentation is required.
