Average Cost of Mold Testing in Newport News, VA

The most important cost influence for mold testing is the area the testing has to cover: the bigger the area the higher the costs. Most people can expect to pay costs in range from 300 to 550 dollars for a small area.  However, if mold is infesting 2 separate areas of your home a mold tester will have to collect more samples to discover level and species making it costlier. Should the species of mold have to be known for legal or medical purposes it adds additional costs that can quickly surpass 1,000.  Labs that do these types of tests have to be very technical requiring a controlled atmosphere to avoid cross contamination of test samples so one must be sure that the Lab completing the testing undergoes accreditation regularly.  
​​
Hero Mold Removal will carefully take samples, free of contaminates, and then send them to an unaffiliated lab for analysis.  Mold level testing and then its remediation done by the same company is a conflict of interest.  Consequently, Hero Mold Removal will take samples in front of clients, seal them in client’s presence and then ship them to the third-party Mold Assessment Laboratory of the client's choice.

 Questionable DIY Mold Test Kits Sold in Home Improvement Stores or by Mail Order:  The Best Testing Choices and most Accurate Testing is Done by Professionals

Mold Testing is often critical to a client’s wellbeing or to answer a Legal challenge which is why it’s so important to hire experts. Hero Mold Removal only engages certified mold testing technicians to perform crucial mold tests because they understand how important correct testing is to the welfare of our client.
 
Mold testing that is accurate needs a sampling plan design to gather multiple samples taken from specified locations in combination with a visual inspection by someone who understands building construction faults and the most likely sources of excessive moisture. Homeowners using mail order mold petri-dish test kits are risking accuracy to save money: 

Concerns of Accuracy with DIY mold testing mail ordered test kits:

• Mold spores are everywhere- you can’t get away from them so it’s no surprise that a small plate with a favorable environment for mold growth grows mold. Unless further testing is done by putting out many more petri-dishes in several locations, including several air samples and finally testing the surrounding environment as a type of control, one sample test is unlikely to be very useful. 
• The DIY mold test kits may have been held in a long time in a warehouse without environmental controls undergoing several episodes of freezing and thawing making them unacceptable.
• No expiration dates for a mold testing plate means buyers wouldn't know whether the nutrient on the bottom was still good possibly giving a false negative when used.
• Mold Species is impossible to determine from a Petri-dish because many species color is determined by the color of the matter they're devouring. The only sure way to determine Species is for a specialist to look at a sample under a microscope.
• Inaccurate Laboratory testing can be a problem. The testing Lab needs to be an accredited lab with atmosphere controls in place or the mold samples might be compromised by mold spores on surfaces or floating through the atmosphere in their laboratory.
