Mold DIY Testing

  • No inspection - collect the samples yourself and drop them off or mail them in.
  • No certification - results are not recognized by many contractors.
  • Report with lab results clearly stating the absence or presence of mold spores and their concentration in each sample in 48 hours from the drop-off time.

Non-Certified Mold DIY Testing

In this service, we will arrange for the lab analysis of provided samples of mold (swab or tape lift) and deliver a report with the lab results stating the absence or presence of mold spores and their levels. We will send detailed instructions on how to collect the samples and how to pack and label them.

There are two delivery options: the samples can be dropped off or mailed to the following address: 9800 Mount Pyramid Ct Suite #400, Englewood, CO 80112.

Testing for the presence of mold is recommended whenever there are clear indications for mold growth, such as a musty smell and numerous symptoms of deteriorating health.

However, swab and tape lift testing are only effective if the air contamination with the spores is high and there are numerous spores on the tested surfaces. It is recommended to combine different testing methods, including the air pump method, to get reliable results when mold concentration is low or moderate. Majority of mold mitigation contractors will not accept non-certified tests that were used to verify the effectiveness of their services.

Viable Mold Sample Analysis

  • Used when alive fungi spores need to be identified.
  • Collection method: swab or air trap.
  • Results in 2 weeks.

Viable Mold Sample Analysis  

This type of sample analysis is employed when it is required to determine what mold spores were alive at the time of sample collection.

USP 797 sampling technique involves collecting samples by swabbing the surface or trapping air in a special trap and then placing the samples in special containers with culture media (food for the fungi) and Petri dishes. The containers are then placed in a laboratory incubator, allowing any organisms present to grow on the media. The resulting fungi or are subsequently counted and identified. To carry out this method, an Andersen N-6 type impactor Microbial Sampler is used.

Next Morning Report Additional Fee For Certified Mold Inspections

This fee is added to any type of certified mold whenever expedited lab results and report are needed. This fee is accompanied by a higher sample fee which is $95 compared to standard $65.

If the report for a Certified Mold Inspection is needed the next morning, and there will be a total of 3 samples taken, the final fee will be:

  • Base fee - $250
  • Expedited Report Fee - $100
  • Sample fee - 3x$95 - $285
    Total: $635

Next morning report can be guaranteed only if the inspection is completed before 10 in the morning so there is enough time for laboratory tests and for preparing the report. For the same reason, this inspection needs to be scheduled at least one day before the inspection.

Bore Scope

  • An add-on to any mold inspection.
  • Allows to inspect areas hidden from human eyes: behind the walls and above the ceilings.

Bore Scope

Bore scope is a piece of equipment that can be described as a small camera mounted at the end of an elastic hose. The hose can be inserted into a small opening in a wall or ceiling, and it can be manipulated in such a way as to inspect the area carefully.

Bore scope can be used whenever it is necessary to identify if the mold growth is hidden in the spaces that cannot be visually inspected.The inspector needs to make a small opening in the surface. It is done with a drill.

Initial and Clearance Inspection Bundle

  • Unlimited number of rooms/areas.
  • Same day inspection.
  • Full report with lab results, photos, conclusions and recommendations in 24-48 hours.
  • Mitigation protocol if mold is present.
  • No trip charge within the 30-mile radius from downtown Denver.

Certified Mold Initial and Clearance Inspections

There are two separate inspections in this bundle. The initial inspection is to determine if there is mold. The clearance inspection will come into play only if mold mitigation was carried out as a result of the initial inspection.  There are two separate charges for two inspections: initial inspection - $250 and clearance inspection - $200.

In the initial inspection, a trained inspector will collect samples of various types to determine the presence of mold and type of mold spores. This inspection is carried out when mold is not visible but suspected due to the smell or health issues but also when the mold growth can be easily seen and the type of mold needs to be determined.

In the clearance inspection, the inspector will take samples from the areas that previously had been treated/mitigated for mold as well as some air samples to verify the absence of mold spores in the air.

There are three different types of samples that can be taken by the inspector: air, swab and tape lift. Most likely, all of these sample types will be collected during both inspections. The number of samples depends on the evaluation of the inspector and the number of rooms and areas that need to be cleared. The more rooms and areas the more samples need to be taken. In case of air samples, one reference sample needs to be taken outside of the property.

Clearance Inspection

  • Unlimited number of rooms/areas.
  • Same day inspection.
  • Full report with lab results, photos, conclusions and recommendations in 24-48 hours.
  • Mitigation protocol if mold is present.
  • No trip charge within the 30-mile radius from downtown Denver.

Mold Testing FAQs

What is Mold?

A mold air sample is a collection of mold spores that are taken from the air. Molds are a category of organisms that are neither plant nor animal; they are part of the fungi kingdom. Unlike plants, molds do not get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. In fact, the sun’s ultraviolet light inhibits mold growth. This means mold tends to grow in damp, dark areas.

How to test for Mold?

Professional mold testing involves taking samples of air or surfaces to be analyzed in a lab. Enviocore offers comprehensive testing to identify the type and concentration of mold present in your environment.

What does Black Mold look like?

Black mold, or Stachybotrys chartarum, typically appears as dark black or greenish-black patches that can be slimy if there is recent water exposure, or dry and powdery if the moisture has ceased.

What does Mold smell like?

Mold often has a musty, earthy smell, similar to what you’d experience with damp soil or rotting leaves. The odor can be indicative of a mold issue, especially if it’s persistent and localized.

What kills Black Mold?

The most practical way to find a mold problem is by using your eyes and nose. Mold often appears as discoloration, staining or fuzzy growth on surfaces. It may appear cottony, velvety, granular or leathery, and it might have varied colors of white, gray, brown, black, yellow and green. If you see signs of mold, or if there is an earthy or musty smell, you should assume a mold problem exists.

Whether you can see or not see mold. An air sample can been taken to help prove what the current situation is.  This additional sample information will help to explain with data.

You can also look for signs of excess moisture, because damp areas tend to be hotbeds for mold growth. Additionally, the worsening of allergy-like symptoms might suggest a mold problem.

How to clean Black Mold?

Cleaning black mold should be done with proper safety gear and with care to contain spores. Use a mixture of detergent and water, scrub the affected area, and rinse completely. Enviocore’s remediation services also ensure that the root cause of moisture is addressed.

How to get Mold out of clothes?

Removing mold from clothes involves brushing off any loose spores, washing them with hot water, and using mold-killing products or bleach if the fabric can handle it. Sun-drying can also help as UV rays kill mold spores.

How to get rid of Mold in the shower?

To remove mold in the shower, use a cleaning solution designed for mold and mildew. Scrub the area with a brush, rinse thoroughly, and keep the area dry to prevent regrowth. Regular cleaning and good ventilation can prevent mold from coming back.

How to clean Mold off the wood?

Cleaning mold off wood requires scrubbing with a mild detergent and water solution, followed by thorough drying. For persistent problems, a mildewcide may be necessary, and in severe cases, the wood may need to be replaced.

How to Mold out of Carpet?

If the carpet is salvageable, you can use a vinegar and water solution or a commercial mold remover to clean the area. In severe cases, the carpet should be removed and replaced, and the floor underneath should be treated by professionals like Enviocore to prevent recurrence.
