Mold Testing

State-certified testing that spots hidden mold—so you can act early, stay safe, and avoid costly repairs.

About

Why Mold Testing Matters

Mold isn't always visible. It hides in air vents, under floors, and inside walls. The only way to know what you're breathing—or what's spreading—is through lab-grade testing.

  • Identify mold species and spore levels
  • Detect hidden growth in "clean" areas
  • Assess the health risk to occupants
  • Decide on the right next steps
Why Mold Testing Matters

Methodology

How our mold testing works

The three sampling methods we use, chosen for what your property is showing

Sterile swabs and clear adhesive tape collect mold from visible spots on dry surfaces, giving the lab a clean sample for species identification. Suitable for walls, ceilings, baseboards, and furniture where the residue is what you're checking.

For damp or recently water-damaged areas, the sampling approach changes. Wet sampling captures live, actively growing colonies that dry methods underrepresent, which matters under flooring, behind tile, and around recent leaks.

A calibrated pump pulls a controlled volume of air through a spore trap cassette, capturing viable and non-viable spores from the breathing zone. The lab counts species and compares concentrations to outdoor levels, telling you whether your indoor air is healthy.

Checklist

Is Testing Right for You?

Mold testing is ideal if:

  • You suspect mold but can't see it
  • You've had water damage
  • Residents or tenants are reporting health symptoms
  • You're buying, selling, or managing a property
  • You need peace of mind after remediation

Still unsure? Let's talk. We'll help you decide which method suits your case best.

Testing Overview

Our Testing Methods

Techniques we use to collect accurate mold samples from air and surfaces.

1Air Testing

Collects airborne mold spores to assess air quality and detect hidden contamination.

2Tape Testing

Lifts mold samples from surfaces using clear adhesive—quick and non-destructive.

3Swab Testing

Gathers samples from damp or textured areas to identify active mold growth.

Mold inspection Shoreline FAQ

Call For An Inspection
Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across our Shoreline 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.
Shoreline's dense residential tree canopy significantly slows the drying of roof surfaces, exterior siding, and soil around foundations after rainfall — and in this climate, that matters because the next rain event often arrives before any drying has occurred. Roof moss and organic debris accumulation in gutters are direct consequences of this, both of which accelerate moisture intrusion into attic spaces and along rooflines. Homes surrounded by mature trees also experience reduced airflow around the exterior envelope, which keeps siding and crawl space vents damp for longer and elevates the risk of mold growth in those areas.
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 Shoreline fall within the standard industry range of $300 to $600, with a clear quote provided before any work begins.
