Why Test for Mold and IAQ?
Poor air quality and hidden mold growth can:
- Trigger asthma, allergies, and respiratory symptoms
- Reduce indoor comfort and productivity

- Lead to code violations or insurance claims
- Affect vulnerable groups: children, elderly, immunocompromised
Early detection through mold and IAQ testing ensures you can take corrective action before problems escalate.
Our Mold & IAQ Testing Process
1. Initial Consultation & Visual Inspection
Our team discusses your concerns and inspects areas of potential moisture, microbial growth, and ventilation issues.

We collect air samples to detect airborne mold spores and particulate matter, along with surface samples to test visible areas of concern.
We test for:
- Mold spores
- VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
- Dust, allergens, dander
- Humidity and temperature imbalance
3. Laboratory Analysis
Samples are processed at an independent, certified lab, providing detailed information on mold species and airborne contaminants affecting your indoor air quality.
4. Comprehensive Report & Remediation Guidance
You’ll receive a clear, detailed report outlining:
- Mold and IAQ findings
- Identified risks and sources
- Recommendations for mitigation or remediation (if needed)
Where Does Mold Grow?
Mold spores are naturally found in both indoor and outdoor air samples. Mold will only grow if the spores settle in an area with moisture. That means that the areas in your home with the most moisture are at the highest risk for mold growth. It is important to note here that if you discover mold, simply eliminating the moisture will not kill the mold and simply killing the mold and leaving the moisture problem will cause the mold to re-grow.
The most common areas to find mold growth in New Jersey homes are:
- Bathrooms; especially shower stalls, bathroom tiles, and shower curtains
- Windows
- Seals on appliances
- Surfaces on and around air conditioners
- Basements prone to flooding
- Leaky roofs
FAQs About Mold & IAQ Testing
What is IAQ testing and how is it different from mold testing?
IAQ testing checks for overall air quality issues like VOCs, dust, allergens, and humidity — while mold testing specifically identifies mold spores and contamination.
When should I test indoor air quality?
If you’re experiencing allergy symptoms indoors, smell musty odors, or recently completed renovations or remediation, it’s time to test.
Do I need both mold and IAQ testing?
Often, yes. Mold may be just one part of an indoor air quality issue — getting both services ensures a full picture of what’s affecting your environment.
