Mold Testing
Tape Testing
Tape testing collects surface mold samples quickly and non-invasively—ideal when growth is visible but needs lab confirmation.
Overview
Why Tape Testing Matters
Not all discoloration is mold. Tape testing is a fast and reliable method for confirming whether visible buildup is fungal in nature and identifying the species involved.
Tape testing detects:
- —Mold on walls, furniture, or visible patches
- —Contamination on smooth or dusty surfaces
- —Specific mold types on painted or finished areas
- —Early-stage growth before structural damage occurs

About
How Tape Testing Works
We apply a clear adhesive slide to the suspect area, lifting a sample of the surface material. This is sealed and sent to a lab for species identification.
Our process includes:
- —Collection using sterile adhesive slides
- —Lab testing for species type and mold concentration
- —Fast turnaround with expert interpretation
- —Recommendations based on sample findings
