Mold Testing
Swab Testing
Swab testing is ideal for textured or damp surfaces where mold may be growing without visible signs.
Overview
Why Swab Testing Matters
Mold can grow in damp areas without being seen. Swab testing helps detect microbial growth on surfaces that are soft, irregular, or moisture-prone—especially after water damage.
Swab testing detects:
- —Hidden mold on porous or textured surfaces
- —Growth in moist environments like under sinks or near HVAC units
- —Contamination on organic materials like wood or fabric
- —Mold not easily captured by visual inspection
Benefits
Benefits of Swab Testing
An adaptable method for hard-to-sample surfaces.
- —Moisture-ready: Designed for damp or water-damaged materials
- —Flexible: Works on uneven, porous, or irregular surfaces
- —Confirmatory: Validates mold presence in hidden or subtle areas
- —Professional: Backed by lab results with expert interpretation
About
How Swab Testing Works
A sterile swab is gently rubbed over the surface to collect mold samples, which are sealed and sent to a lab. The results identify species type and contamination level.
Our process includes:
- —Sterile collection using flexible swabs
- —Ideal for moist, textured, or hard-to-reach surfaces
- —Lab analysis for species identification and growth level
- —Clear reporting with next-step guidance
