Air & Mold Testing Services
Protect Your Home from Hidden Mold in High-Moisture Areas
With Georgia’s high humidity, moisture-prone environments like bathrooms, kitchens, and crawlspaces are prime breeding grounds for mold. At North Metro Restoration, we offer professional Air and Mold Testing for both residential and commercial properties throughout North Georgia and the Metro Atlanta area.
Why Air Quality Testing Matters
Air testing is a vital step in identifying mold contamination—especially when mold is visible or suspected. It’s our preferred method because it provides detailed insight into:
- The type of mold present
- The volume of airborne spores
- The extent of contamination throughout your space
This data helps us create a targeted remediation plan that’s both effective and safe.
How We Test
We use a calibrated vacuum pump and an Air-O-Cell Spore Trap, a specialized sampling device designed to rapidly collect a wide range of airborne particles. The process involves:
- Drawing a specific volume of air over a sterile collection surface
- Labeling and documenting the sample with a Chain of Custody (COC)
- Sending it to an independent, AIHA EMLAP-accredited laboratory for microscopic analysis
What You Get
Once results are received, we can accurately identify the type and concentration of mold spores in your air. This allows us to:
- Confirm the presence of mold
- Determine the severity of contamination
- Recommend the most effective course of action for remediation
Your health and safety are our top priorities. We believe in transparent testing, clear communication, and lasting solutions—not temporary fixes.
Why Get a Mold Air Sample?
1. Mold Isn’t Always Visible
Mold can hide behind walls, under flooring, or inside HVAC systems. Air sampling detects spores that aren’t visible to the naked eye, giving you a clearer picture of what’s really going on.
2. Identify the Type of Mold
Not all mold is created equal. Some types are relatively harmless, while others—like Stachybotrys (black mold)—can pose serious health risks. Air sampling helps identify the specific species present.
3. Measure Contamination Levels
Air samples tell us how many spores are floating around in your indoor environment. This helps determine how widespread the issue is and whether remediation is necessary.
4. Guide the Remediation Plan
Knowing the type and concentration of mold helps us tailor a solution that’s effective and targeted—no guesswork, no overkill.
5. Peace of Mind
Even if no visible mold is found, an air sample can confirm your home’s air is clean and safe. It’s reassurance backed by science.
