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
- Assess musty odors and signs of mold growth.
- Identify water-damaged surfaces prone to mold.
- Perform air sampling to analyze indoor air quality for mold spores.
- Collect surface and bulk samples for laboratory analysis.
- Measure moisture levels to detect water damage sources, such as leaks or condensation.
- Develop a tailored mold remediation plan based on test results.
- Recommend additional evaluations as necessary.
- 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
Mold Spores in Carpets
Airborne mold spores settle and accumulated on the floors and other horizontal surfaces over time. Sources of airborne mold spores include visible and hidden mold growth on surfaces indoors and the outdoor air, which enters homes and apartments through open windows and doors. Therefore, it is essential to periodically HEPA vacuum and damp wipe floors and furniture/furnishings to keep mold spore concentrations in settled dust deposits at low levels.
In carpets however, mold spores settle and accumulate deep in the carpet weave, despite recurrent vacuuming. When carpets become wet during a water intrusion event or during periods of high prolonged humidity, mold spore levels (and levels of bacteria) increase exponentially. Wet cleaning methods, even when anti-microbial disinfectant cleaners are used, also cause levels of mold spores to drastically increase.
When carpets are disturbed, dust containing elevated levels of mold spores and bacteria inside the carpet is unavoidably plumed into the air. This airborne mold spore- and bacteria-laden dust can cause allergy-like symptoms in sensitive individuals. Asthmatics may also experience respiratory distress if significant quantities of airborne dust from the carpet are inhaled.
Samples of dust may be collected from carpets and cultured during laboratory analysis to evaluate levels of mold spores and bacteria in the carpet. If levels of mold and bacteria are substantially higher than background levels, the carpets should 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! Philip Bleeker
