We proudly serve New York City, Brooklyn, Long Island, Queens, the Bronx, Westchester, and the surrounding NYC tri-state area. Our mold testing and mold inspection services assist homeowners, property managers, healthcare facilities, attorneys, insurance companies, schools, and more. We evaluate water damage and mold growth to ensure your indoor spaces are safe.

Mold Testing and Mold Inspections You Can Trust

We work exclusively with New York State-accredited laboratories to analyze samples collected during our mold  inspections. This ensures the highest accuracy for test results, helping you identify and address mold problems effectively.

Our detailed mold inspection reports include NY State-mandated mold remediation protocols, guiding contractors on the necessary steps to resolve mold issues. We also provide follow-up mold clearance inspections to verify successful mold remediation.

Our Comprehensive Mold Inspection Process

  1. Assess musty odors and signs of mold growth.
  2. Identify water-damaged surfaces prone to mold.
  3. Perform air sampling to analyze indoor air quality for mold spores.
  4. Collect surface and bulk samples for laboratory analysis.
  5. Measure moisture levels to detect water damage sources, such as leaks or condensation.
  6. Develop a tailored mold remediation plan based on test results.
  7. Recommend additional evaluations as necessary.
  8. Deliver a verbal summary during the inspection and a full report after lab results are available (typically within 2–3 days).

Why Mold Testing is Essential

Excessive moisture in buildings creates an ideal environment for mold growth, often in hidden areas like wall cavities or beneath floors. Mold exposure can lead to serious health problems, including respiratory issues, sinus infections, and asthma exacerbation. Organizations like the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and World Health Organization (WHO) link damp environments to increased risks of allergies and lung conditions.

Our mold assessments evaluate both visible and hidden mold growth to protect your health and property.

Mold Air Testing

  • Professional Air Sampling: A critical component of our comprehensive mold inspection process.

  • Expert NYS-Licensed Assessors: Our certified team evaluates airborne spore counts using precise outdoor baselines for comparison.

  • Identifying “Marker Fungi”: We detect specific mold types like Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Stachybotrys that signal active water damage.

  • Health & Safety First: Accurate testing helps identify hidden risks and ensures the air quality is safe for your family.

Hidden Mold Detection

  • Targeting Concealed Growth: We specialize in identifying mold hidden in hard-to-reach areas like wall cavities, crawlspaces, and subflooring.

  • Strategic Surface Sampling: Our experts collect physical samples to detect spore accumulation that often bypasses visual inspections.

  • Precision Lab Analysis: Every sample is analyzed by a certified lab to identify specific mold species and determine the severity of the infestation.

  • Data-Driven Solutions: Accurate identification allows us to pinpoint the moisture source and provide a targeted remediation plan.

  • Tri-State Coverage: Trusted mold testing and inspections serving NYC, Long Island, and Westchester.

Call Angstrom Testing Services to have a mold inspector perform a mold inspection in your home. The inspection includes a visual inspection for water damage and mold growth, evaluating odors, taking moisture measurements, and taking airborne mold samples to evaluate whether hidden mold growth conditions may be present.

E.R.M.I. (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index)

  • Scientific Mold Assessment: ERMI is a highly specialized method developed to quantify the “mold burden” within a residential environment.

  • Advanced DNA Technology: Unlike traditional culturing, ERMI uses MSQPCR (Mold Specific Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) to identify and count mold species at the genetic level.

  • Targeting Water-Damage Indicators: The analysis specifically looks for “Group 1” molds—species strongly associated with water damage and potential health risks.

  • Comprehensive Mold History: Because it analyzes settled dust, an ERMI test provides a long-term “history” of mold presence in the home, rather than just a snapshot of the current air.

  • Data-Driven Comparison: Your home’s mold levels are compared to a national database, resulting in a single “Index” score that helps determine the relative moldiness of your property.

  • Expert Consultation: Contact Angstrom Testing Services to see if ERMI testing is the right fit for your specific indoor air quality concerns.

Mold Spores in Carpets

  • Settled Spore Accumulation: Airborne mold spores from both indoor growth and outdoor air naturally settle and build up on horizontal surfaces over time.

  • The Carpet Trap: Unlike hard floors, carpets trap mold spores and bacteria deep within the weave, where standard vacuuming often fails to reach them.

  • Moisture Triggers: Water intrusion, high humidity, or even “wet cleaning” methods can cause mold and bacteria levels in carpet fibers to increase exponentially.

  • Airborne Health Risks: Walking on or vacuuming contaminated carpets “plumes” dust into the breathing zone, potentially triggering allergy symptoms or respiratory distress in asthmatics.

  • Professional Dust Sampling: We collect and culture carpet dust samples to scientifically evaluate concentrations of mold and bacteria.

  • Data-Backed Recommendations: If laboratory analysis reveals levels substantially higher than background baselines, we provide clear guidance on whether the carpet can be saved or must be disposed of.

They were awesome! They really exert the effort to make sure the mold inspection is done correctly. I wanted to test the air on a condo that we were purchasing (because it had a strong damp smell when you walked in). Thanks, Angstrom & Team for helping me in time.

Angstrom tested the water at each of the sinks in our daycare center for lead. They helped us get our license from the New York City Department of Health. They arrived on time and got the job done without any hassles and provided all the paperwork that I needed. Thanks again!
