Surface Mold Sampling

Surface sampling involves collecting a sample directly from visible mold growth using a sterile swab or tape lift.

This sample is sent to a laboratory to identify the type of mold present.

Not all mold is the same. Identifying the type can help:

• Confirm that growth is mold
   
• Provide documentation for remediation or real estate transactions
   
• Support clearance or post-remediation verification
   

• Visible mold is present on walls, ceilings, or surfaces
   
• You need documentation for a third party (buyer, seller, landlord, etc.)
   
• As part of a larger mold inspection
   
• To verify cleanup after remediation
   

You receive lab-verified results identifying the mold type, along with clear documentation to support next steps.

Surface sampling is often used alongside air testing to provide a complete picture of indoor mold conditions.
