Hero Mold Removal Commercial & Residential Budget Mold Testing
We have the Best Educated, Most Friendly and Careful Mold Inspectors in Hampton, VA
Mold Testing will determine if an indoor environment is polluted with excessive amount of mold and requires mold removal or remediation. We can provide the client with an analysis of mold spores or particles in the sample area. The level of Mold spores floating through the atmosphere fluctuates over time and location which is why many samples are taken throughout the home or business, at different times, including control samples from the surrounding outdoor environment to indicate what's in the natural environment- in case something other is in your home.
Air sampling will be taken with a spore trap to determine level of mold present. Visible mold will undergo surface sampling, such as pressing a piece of tape to the mold's surface, lifting it off, sealing it in a sample bag and sending to the laboratory. Accurate mold testing requires several air samples taken at different times from different locations `throughout the dwelling including a control sample taken from the surrounding outside environment. The mold samples will be sent to a licensed certified lab that is set up for accurate mold analysis and maintains a good reputation.
We don't try to panic clients into a mold remediation commitment. Hero Mold Removal will provide clients with a written assessment of the mold findings then retreat though we'll continue to stay available for questions. We are eager to win your confidence and quickly restore your dwelling.

Warning: Limitations of DIY Mold Petri-dish Test Kits
Your Best Most Accurate Testing is Done by Hero Mold Removal Professionals in Hampton, VA
A Petri-dish is a small round plate with a nutrient covering the bottom that is a rich food source for mold or fungus growth. Directions are to leave the Petri-dish out for a certain amount of time in different areas of the home with the understanding that mold spores floating through the air will fall on the plates and grow. If mold is found growing in the dish after the time period, the user is left with the knowledge that mold spores are floating through their home or office. For an additional fee, buyers are encouraged to mail the petri-dish to a preferred lab for further testing. There are significant limitations with this type of testing:
- Mold is a fungus Bio-decomposer spreading and devouring dead organic matter throughout our environment. Mold or fungus spores are carried on the wind and blown through open doors or windows into our homes and offices or brought in hitching a ride on something or somebody. Most people have seen ample evidence that mold will grow in food stuffs that have gone moldy in the kitchen, forgotten drink glasses with mold in the bottom and leftover moldy snacks about the home. When a floating mold spore finds a favorable environment in a petri-dish, it's no surprise that it colonizes the dish.
- The DIY mold test kits could be exposed to extreme temperatures because they are not shipped under climate control or they could have been in storage for a very long period of time and without expiration dates buyers wouldn't know. Any of these previous conditions could have caused its nutrient to go bad putting results into question.
- Mold Levels are impossible to read from a Petri-dish because Air Flow Measurement of colony forming units (CFU) per cubic meter of air can't be evaluated from mold growing on a plate.
- Inaccurate Laboratory testing because of improper handling is a big problem with some of these labs. The Lab needs to be an accredited lab with atmosphere controls in place or the mold samples will be compromised by mold spores floating in their laboratory.
