Why should I do Entire Home Testing?

Mold testing should involve testing your entire home, condo, apartment office, retail store, or other types of buildings for toxic mold, black mold or any type of mold growth. Any mold in elevated levels indoors can cause health harm according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Taking test samples from all different areas of your home or building with visible or possible hidden mold growth will ensure that you get more reliable results than testing a single or a few area.

Avoid the biggest mold testing mistake [doing too few test locations] and do Entire Home Testing!

This means that you will use a number of test kits to test all of the different areas of your home or building, but then you only pay for mold lab analysis of the mold test kits showing the largest number and/or diversity of mold growths.

For only US$99, you can buy ten (10) home mold test kits [with three year shelf life] with free UPS ground delivery in USA [add $25 for express delivery in Canada]. Shipment is by UPS ground delivery which can take at least 5 to 7 business days for the product to reach your delivery address.

Read the following test kit information and home test kit directions and test instructions below or print out your copy of the Test Kit Instructions.
   You can watch the molds grow over a 7 day time period and do your own self-observation and mold growth analysis, or you can send the mold test kits at any time [including after 7 days of self-observation] for professional mold analysis by our mold laboratory for only $49 per mold sample analyzed.
 

How To Test for Mold with our Do-It-Yourself Kits

       Your first and most affordable mold investigative step to learn the severity and the extent of the possible mold infestation is to use our do it yourself mold test kits [self observation of results over a 5 to 7 day time period, or send in for mold lab analysis] to mold test the air of each room, attic, basement, crawl space, and the outward air flow from each heating/cooling duct register for the possible presence of elevated levels of airborne mold spores, in comparison to an outdoor mold control test which you should also do. If you see any visible mold growth, from each moldy area, scrape some of the mold particles into a separate mold test kit per testing location for observation over a 5 to 7 day time period, and/or for mold lab analysis. When scraping mold into a test kit, you would be wise to use a breathing air respirator [Home Depot or Lowe’s or a safety store] so that you don’t breathe in extra mold spores that you put into the air by scraping some mold-like substances into each mold test kit.  

       Our test kits come with detailed use instructions to make your tests informative and helpful in mold problem diagnosis.  Learn how to do your own, self-observation analysis of mold test kits results at http://www.moldmart.net/mold-test-kit-interpretation.htm. You can also read online our copyrighted form “Self-Analysis & Interpretation of Visible Mold Growth in Do-It-Yourself Mold Test kits.” 

HOT TIP: You can record and analyze your visual observations about mold test kit growths in a well-organized and meaningful way by utilizing the form "Self-Analysis of Visible Mold Growth in Do-It-BEST-Yourself Mold Test Kits." For self-observation instructions, please read do-it-yourself mold analysis and interpretation.

Follow the four (4) easy steps below:

Step 1. Avoid the biggest mold testing mistake!

The biggest possible mold testing mistake by a property owner, manager, or occupant is to test only one or just a few indoor locations for mold infestation in the home, condominium, apartment, office or commercial property.

"Don't leave a stone unturned." Test your entire home for possible mold growth and infestation. Locate the likely mold hotspots in your home, office or building. Entire Home Testing Kits allows you to check your entire home for mold contamination at an affordable price. Utilize, at least, ten to twenty mold test kits to test for mold growth in the following suggested test areas:

(1) Use our test kits to test every room [including the attic, basement, and crawl space] of your home, condominium, apartment, office, or commercial property for the possible presence of elevated levels of airborne mold spores, which, if present, indicate a likely mold infestation problem.

(2) Use our test kits to test the air flow coming out of the heating/ventilating/air conditioning [hvac] duct registers when you run the hvac equipment for the possible presence of elevated levels of airborne mold spores. Test at least two duct registers in different areas of your home or building.  

(3) Use our test kits to test the visible mold growth locations anywhere inside your home, office or property. Collect a test sample from each separate infestation or growth location. [Please note that you can also use Scotch tape to collect test samples of visible mold---visit Lift Tape Sampling].

(4) Outdoor control test [air test sample taken five feet beyond the drip edge of your roof], which you can compare test results with your indoor test samples.

Step 2. Buy one or more Entire Home Testing packages [with 10 ready to use with no mixing or hardening required kits per package] for US$99 per home test kit package and free UPS ground delivery!

1. FREE UPS GROUND DELIVERY anywhere inside the U.S.A. Express test kit delivery in Canada would be an additional US$25.00.

2. Easy-to-follow directions for you to do entire home testing in the four test areas described above. You can print your own copy of the easy to follow testing kit directions. Visit: Mold Mart's Test Kit Instructions.

Step 3. Use our home test kit to collect air samples [plus test samples of visible mildew growth], and then observe the growth of mildew [if fungi spores are present] in each test kit for at least 5 to 7 days yourself.

[Alternatively, if you want professional mold laboratory identification services for ALL of your home test kit samples, please proceed to Step 4 below.]

5 to 7 days [or more] after you have done an air or visible mildew sampling, here’s how to interpret the visual results apparent in your home test kits:
 

(1) If you observe and count a greater number of fungi colonies of any one particular fungi colony type [possessing the same or similar color, shape, and/or structural pattern] growing in ONE testing kit than you observe and count in the outdoor control testing kit, then you can reasonably conclude that there is a possible indoor-generated mold infestation in the area location in which you conducted that particular testing.

(2) If you observe a particular mildew colony type growing in ONE home test kit that is NOT present in the outdoor control home test kit, then you can reasonably conclude that there is a possible indoor-generated infestation in the area location in which you conducted that particular testing.

(3) If you observe three or more of the SAME mold colony type growing in ONE home test kit, then you can reasonably conclude that there is a possible mold infestation in the area location in which you conducted that particular test, regardless of outdoor control test.

Think about this rat analogy: if there are only three rats living INSIDE a particular area of your home, is there no indoor rat problem if more than three rats are living immediately OUTSIDE of your home?

You live or work in your home or building many hours per day. Your continual inhaling of mold spores into your sinus areas or into your lungs can initiate dangerous fungi growth inside your body!  You can become very ill from continued, CUMULATIVE exposure to, and continued, regular, and cumulative inhalation of, even modest numbers of mold spores.

(4) If you observe three or more of the same mildew colony types in each of several or many home test kits taken from different areas of your home or building, you can reasonably conclude that that particular mildew species is possibly widespread in its contamination of your home or building.

The most dangerous mold species to you and other home or building occupants are the molds that are present in many areas of your home or building, causing continued and cumulative exposure and mold inhalation.

Step 4. If you detect a mold problem after completing Step 3 above, or if you want to proceed directly to professional mold laboratory analysis,  then you have the following options [do one or all] ---

(1) Send one or more of your test kit samples [especially the ones with the most visible mold growth] for professional analysis, identification, and a written report by Mold Inspector Laboratory Ltd.

Expert mold analysis report is especially important if you are:

(a) considering the purchase or sale of a house or other real estate;

(b) making or defending a mold liability claim in regards to the rental of [or the already-completed sale or purchase of] a house, condo, apartment or other real estate building; or;

(c) making or defending a claim regarding mold problems in the work place or a public building such as a school, hospital, nursing home, or government office. If you so desire, you can pre-pay your mold laboratory mold identification services when you purchase your mold test kits.

Please visit:  Order Page.

(2) Alternatively, don’t worry about mold identification because the remediation procedures that you or a Certified Mold Remediator must do to kill and remove mold are the same regardless of the type of fungi. Consider using your limited financial resources to do effective removal in accordance with the precise remediation directions provided in our book Do-It-BEST-Yourself Mold Prevention, Inspection, Testing and Remediation.

(3) Do follow up, intensive, and detailed inspection and testing of your home or other building to find and fix:

(a) water problems that are causing the mildew problem [such as high humidity above 60%], roof leaks, plumbing leaks, and water intrusion into your hvac equipment and ducts, and;

(b) mildew growth, especially fungi hidden INSIDE walls, ceilings, floors, attic, crawl space, and hvac equipment and ducts. You can do this thorough, follow up inspection and testing either with the help of one of our Certified Mold Inspectors, or by Do-It-BEST-Yourself inspection and testing using the very precise directions in our book Do-It-BEST-Yourself Mold Prevention, Inspection, Testing & Remediation.

Mold Test Kit Q & A
         Q. Hi!  I have read through your website and really appreciate all of the information. Question for you:  How accurate are the HOME MOLD TESTS? Here's the situation:  My family currently lives in a rental.  We suspected high levels of indoor mold due to some symptoms that our family was showing.  We bought a few home mold tests and tested two rooms and had one control test outside.  Within 48 hours, the bottom of the petri dishes from the inside rooms were covered with mold and the one from the outside only had a few mold growths.  So we took the test to our landlord and he is claiming that the tests are inaccurate and thinks we are wrong about our theory (that we are potentially living in a dangerous situation.)  I have called a local home inspection service and they don’t know much about the home tests, but say that the tests would be inaccurate by not showing all of the airborne mold.  Hence we have even more airborne mold than the petri dishes show.  So what are your thoughts on the accuracy of the home tests? [November 24, 2004]
         A. Yes, it is very likely that your rental unit has more mold than is reflected in taking just a few do it yourself mold test kits because each kit is only measuring a specific area of your home. You should use our mold test kits to mold test the air of EACH room, any attic/basement/crawl space/garage, and the outward air flow from each heating/cooling duct register for the possible presence of elevated levels of airborne mold spores, in comparison with your outdoor mold control sample. This is called total home testing. But not even mold inspectors often do total home testing because of a limited customer budget for professional testing services [much more expensive than home mold test kits]. Home mold test kits are very accurate in detecting mold levels in rooms and areas tested, and far more accurate in mold diagnosis than the inferior air cassette testing done by most mold inspectors and industrial hygienists. Because you already have mold test results showing elevated levels of indoor mold compared to the outdoor test you have already done, you should send all of the mold test kits to our mold lab for analysis and mold species identification [visit: http://www.moldmart.net]. Then you will have written mold lab results from an accredited mold lab that identifies the mold species occupying your home, plus some quantification as to the severity of the mold health threat. You should then consider utilizing the Tenant Notice To Landlord which is available at http://www.moldinspector.com/landlord_liability.htm
