Indoor air sampling
A pump draws a measured volume of air, often about 15 liters per minute for five to ten minutes, through a spore trap cassette. The lab counts and identifies spores per cubic meter.
Whether you're dealing with a landlord, a home sale, or a family member who feels worse indoors, call Breffni Remediation. We'll connect you with an independent mold tester in McFarland who gets you lab results you can stand behind.
Testing is most useful when the mold is hidden, when someone needs documentation, or when you want proof a remediation job actually worked. A good tester will tell you when it isn't worth the money.
Real people pick up 24/7.

Sloppy sampling produces meaningless numbers. These are the standards we expect from the testers we refer.

Expect a calibrated pump, sealed sampling cassettes, and at least one outdoor baseline so indoor results mean something.
Pricing is set per sample before the visit. No surprise lab charges after the results come back.
Local testers schedule quickly, and many labs offer next-day or 24-hour rush analysis when a deadline is close.
Testers in our network carry their own insurance and any licensing your area requires. Ask whether samples go to an AIHA-accredited lab; good testers say yes without hesitating.
The right test depends on what you're trying to prove. These are the common options.

Clear tape or a sterile swab picks up material from a suspicious stain so the lab can confirm whether it's mold and which genus it is.
A small port lets the tester sample air inside a wall without opening it, which is useful when you suspect growth behind finished drywall after a leak.
After removal, air samples inside the former work area should come back in line with outdoor levels, without elevated indicator types like Stachybotrys or Chaetomium. This is how you know the job is done.
Lab reports with chain-of-custody records give buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords objective evidence instead of competing opinions.

Straightforward, start to finish.
Describe the situation and what you need to prove. That shapes the sampling plan.

You get the lab report plus a plain-language explanation of what the numbers mean and whether remediation is recommended.

A few recent testing jobs, in customers' own words.

My landlord kept saying the spots in my bedroom were just dirt. The tape-lift came back as Cladosporium and Aspergillus, and the air sample was well above outdoor levels. That report got the repair done.
After paying for remediation, I wanted proof. The clearance air samples came back lower than the outdoor control, and I finally felt comfortable moving my kids back into the basement.
We were selling and the buyer asked about a past leak. A quick cavity sample plus air testing showed nothing unusual, and the deal closed on time.
He walked me through every number on the report instead of just emailing a PDF. Knowing what was normal versus elevated made the whole thing less stressful.
Air tests tell you what you're breathing. Surface tests tell you what a visible stain actually is.
Without an outdoor baseline, indoor numbers have nothing to be compared against. It's what makes the results meaningful.
Standard lab turnaround is usually two to three business days. Many labs offer 24-hour or same-day rush analysis for an added fee.
Not very. Petri-dish kits grow mold in nearly every home, which tells you little. Professional sampling measures volume and compares indoor to outdoor air.
There are no federal limits for indoor mold spores. Results are judged by comparing indoor samples with outdoor controls and looking for water-damage indicator species.
ERMI analyzes settled dust using DNA methods to identify mold species. It's sometimes used in health-related investigations, though most residential decisions rely on air and surface sampling.
