Our site offers impartial, unbiased advice without conflicts of interest. We will block advertisements which we discover or readers inform us are associated with bad business practices, false-advertising, or junk science. Our contact info is at InspectAPedia.com/appointment.htm.

Environmental inspection & testing consultants directory, mold testing services: Here we provide a free online directory of indoor air quality, indoor environment, and mold inspection/testing experts. For "sick house" or other building air quality, mold, mildew, dampness, odors, toxic gases, chemical exposure, or similar complaints, experts may perform a Phase I visual inspection expanded by actual bulk surface and air sampling combined with microscopic examination, and case histories to identify possible concerns.

See MOLD INSPECTORS & MOLD TESTERS (this page) for our online directory of mold inspection and testing experts. See MOLD CLEANUP COMPANIES for our online directory of mold cleanup companies - mold remediators. To avoid a conflict of interest we recommend that mold inspection, testing, or post-cleanup inspection and testing should be performed by an expert who has absolutely no financial or business relationship with the mold cleanup or mold remediation company. Before hiring us or any onsite test or investigation expert for a field investigation, inspection, or testing, be sure to review MOLD EXPERT, WHEN TO HIRE.

The purpose air and bulk sampling is to identify possible irritants/bioaerosols: mold, mildew, pet dander, pollen, or other material which can cause respiratory distress or other complaints and in some cases serious illness. Consult with your physician for evaluation, treatment, and advice. If you are a qualified expert or service or product provider in this field you may be listed at this website at no fee - see LINK EXCHANGE INSTRUCTIONS.

First, should we be testing for mold at all? If you see mold on indoor surfaces, NO mold testing is needed to confirm that mold is present in a this building and that cleanup is needed. But if a large remediation project is planned, tests may be needed for project control - see When to identify mold?. See MOLD EXPERT, WHEN TO HIRE for a discussion of when it is or is not appropriate, justified, and ethical to hire a mold consultant to inspect, diagnose, and advise about mold contamination in a building. A separate list of companies providing mold cleanup or mold remediation can be found at MOLD CLEANUP COMPANIES.

To Look more carefully at the building yourself - this website has articles on how to look for problem mold,

To Evaluate the leak and moisture history of your building

  • Overall building risk for mold - MOLD EXPOSURE RISK LEVELS, and if there seem to be particularly high risks (building history, what you see, complaints or health risks of occupants) it might be appropriate to hire an expert
  • When to Hire a Professional - MOLD EXPERT, WHEN TO HIRE helps decide if it’s appropriate to bring in an pro.

To Do your own Mold Testing

Collect DIY samples of what you see (you wont' address hidden mold in insulation or in building cavities by this method) using tape sampling described at MOLD TEST KITS for DIY MOLD TESTS
