Professional Mold Testing and Fungal Analysis
Mold can grow anywhere sufficient moisture and an appropriate food source are present. Water intrusion, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, flooding, elevated humidity, condensation and other moisture problems can create conditions that support fungal growth.
Visual observations alone may not provide enough information to identify the types of mold present or evaluate airborne fungal populations.
Laboratory analysis can help environmental professionals identify and quantify mold and other fungi collected during an investigation.
Depending upon the sampling method and project objectives, mold testing may involve:
-
Air samples for fungal spores
-
Spore trap samples
-
Surface samples
-
Swab samples
-
Tape lift samples
-
Bulk material samples
-
Dust samples
-
Direct microscopic examination
-
Fungal identification
-
Viable fungal analysis
-
Indoor and outdoor comparison samples
Selecting the appropriate sampling and analytical method depends upon the objectives of the mold investigation.
Mold Testing for Indoor Air Quality Investigations
Mold testing is commonly used as part of indoor air quality investigations following actual or suspected moisture problems.
Testing may be useful for properties affected by:
-
Water damage
-
Roof or plumbing leaks
-
Flooding
-
Storm damage
-
Elevated indoor humidity
-
HVAC condensation
-
Musty or unusual odors
-
Visible fungal growth
-
Real estate investigations
-
Building occupant complaints
-
Mold remediation projects
Laboratory results provide environmental professionals with data that can be evaluated together with visual observations, moisture measurements, building history and other information collected during an investigation.
Mold Testing for Homes and Residential Properties
North Carolina's climate can create favorable conditions for moisture and fungal growth. High humidity, severe storms, plumbing failures and water intrusion can all contribute to mold concerns in residential properties.
Professional mold testing may be performed in:
Single-family homes, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, multifamily buildings, rental properties and other residential structures.
Home inspectors, mold inspectors and environmental consultants can submit samples to one of EMSL's three North Carolina laboratories for analysis.
Commercial and Industrial Mold Testing
Mold and moisture problems are not limited to residential buildings.
EMSL provides analytical support for professionals investigating commercial and institutional properties throughout North Carolina, including:
Office buildings, schools, universities, hospitals, healthcare facilities, hotels, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail properties, government buildings and other occupied structures.
Timely laboratory data can be an important component of evaluating the extent of fungal contamination and supporting decisions regarding remediation or additional investigation.
Mold Testing Following Water Damage
Water-damaged building materials can provide conditions that allow mold growth to develop.
Potential sources of moisture include:
-
Broken or leaking pipes
-
Roof leaks
-
Storm damage
-
Flooding
-
Appliance failures
-
HVAC problems
-
Groundwater intrusion
-
Condensation
-
High indoor humidity
When mold sampling is performed, laboratory analysis can help identify fungal structures collected from the affected environment.
Mold Testing for Remediation Projects
Laboratory testing may also be used during mold remediation projects.
Environmental professionals may collect samples before remediation to help characterize conditions and may perform additional sampling after remediation as part of their assessment.
EMSL provides the laboratory analysis needed to support these types of projects throughout North Carolina.
