Tape Testing

Surface samples collected quickly and without any damage, when growth is visible but needs lab confirmation.

Overview

Why mold tape testing matters

Not every dark patch is mold. Tape testing is a fast, reliable method for confirming whether visible buildup is fungal and identifying the species behind it, before assumptions drive an expensive cleanup.

Mold tape testing detects:

  • Mold on walls, ceilings, and furniture surfaces
  • Visible buildup on smooth or dusty areas
  • Species identification on painted and finished walls
  • Early growth caught before it has time to spread

About

How mold tape testing works

Our certified mold inspectors press a clear adhesive slide against the suspect area to capture a thin layer of surface material. The slide is sealed and sent to a state-certified lab for mold species identification.

Our process includes:

  • Surface sampling with sterile adhesive slides
  • Lab analysis for species type and contamination level
  • Lab-verified results with spore counts where relevant
  • A mold inspection report with clear next steps

Call For An Inspection
Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across our Dearborn service area, with 24/7 emergency response for active leaks, recent water damage, or urgent real estate timelines. Standard scheduling runs 1 to 3 business days depending on availability.
Our certified mold inspectors assess bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, attics, crawl spaces, HVAC components, and any area showing signs of past or current water issues. Thermal imaging and moisture meters identify hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.
The Rouge River and its tributaries run through the southern portions of Dearborn and Dearborn Heights, and properties in the surrounding neighborhoods experience both direct flood risk and the chronic groundwater effects of proximity to a river system. Historic flooding along the Rouge — which has affected Dearborn neighborhoods in multiple significant events — has left behind moisture damage in basement and lower-level spaces that was not always fully remediated. Even in years without visible flooding, the elevated water table near the river corridor maintains hydrostatic pressure on foundation walls in adjacent properties. Any home within the Rouge River influence zone that has not received a recent basement and crawl space assessment should be considered a priority for inspection.
Pricing varies based on the size of the property, the scope of testing required, and whether any lab work is included. Most residential mold inspections in Dearborn fall within the standard industry range of $300 to $600, with a clear quote provided before any work begins.
