Is Mold Sampling/Testing Required?

In most cases, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is not required. Because no EPA or other federal limits for mold or mold spores have been established, sampling cannot be used to assess a building’s compliance with federal mold standards. Surface sampling may be useful in determining whether an area has been adequately cleaned or remediated.

Mold testing in your house will provide you with critical information about the health of your indoor environment. You will be able to do the following:

  • Examine fungal ecology
  • Determine the degree of pollution.
  • Verify the existence of mold.
  • Determine the source(s) of moisture.
  • Determine the types of mold that are present (including black mold)
  • Analyze health hazards
  • Prepare for mold removal.

Mold sampling should be performed by professionals who have specific experience designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpreting results.
