Mold Removal in Dorval

Get accurate mold testing in Dorval

The official Mold Busters motto is “It’s not mold until it’s tested.” Following the initial assessment, our technician generally recommends a mold test. We offer two types of testing:

1. Surface sampling for mold
2. Non-viable air testing for mold

Surface sampling determines whether or not a surface is contaminated with mold via tape, swab or bulk sample. For instance, if there is black spotting on your ceiling that you suspect is mold, a surface sample will confirm or deny that with a simple yes or no. This type of testing is generally straightforward and produces fast results on the spot. It does not, however, provide quantitative information about your IAQ.

A non-viable air test for mold is quite different in that our technician will capture a specimen of air and send it to an accredited microbiological laboratory to be checked out under a microscope. Lab results reveal important, more detailed information about your IAQ, including whether or not there’s mold, the species present and the concentration of mold spores in the air.

Not every cluster of black spots or musty odour is mold. That’s why it’s best to book a test before jumping to conclusions. It may just save you a lot of work, time and trouble.
