Independent Mold Testing in Tampa, FL
When mold is suspected but not visible, or when objective laboratory data is needed to help evaluate indoor conditions, sampling may be appropriate. We take air and surface samples and send them to an independent laboratory. Because we do not perform remediation, our testing results are objective.

- Number of air or surface samples required

- Number of zones or rooms tested
- Whether a written remediation protocol is requested
Service Limitations
Mold testing provides a snapshot of conditions at the time of sampling. Spore levels can fluctuate based on activity, ventilation, and weather. Depending on the laboratory method, testing can help identify the genus and, in some cases, the species of mold present. Testing does not diagnose medical conditions.
Florida-Specific Considerations
Florida law requires mold assessors and mold remediators to be separate licensed parties on qualifying projects. Our testing is performed independently, and we do not profit from any remediation work that may follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get mold test results?
Lab results are typically available within 2 to 3 business days after the samples are collected. Rush options may be available.
What is the difference between air and surface testing?
Air testing measures the concentration of mold spores floating in the air, while surface testing identifies the specific type of mold growing on a visible surface.
Can testing tell me if the mold is toxic?
Testing can help identify the genus and, depending on the method, the species of the mold. While we do not provide medical diagnoses, identifying the mold type may help you and your healthcare provider understand potential considerations.
Do you also remove the mold?
No. We are an independent testing company. We do not perform remediation, which ensures our test results are unbiased and free from any incentive to find or exaggerate mold problems.
