Good to know
Mold Testing in O'Fallon, IL: common questions
Is testing necessary if mold is already visible?
If mold is visible with a clear moisture source, remediation can often proceed without prior testing. Testing is more valuable for ambiguous situations or when documentation is the primary goal.
What distinguishes air samples from surface samples?
Air samples measure spore concentration in the air, useful for odor investigations. Surface samples identify species present on a specific visible growth.
Is the laboratory independent from the sampling company?
Yes. Samples are analyzed by an independent laboratory, ensuring objective and defensible findings.
Do I need to leave my O'Fallon home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the O'Fallon home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
How long until lab results are available?
Turnaround time depends on the lab, but results are typically delivered within several business days after sample submission.
Can testing be used in a landlord-tenant dispute?
Yes. Documented lab results are commonly used to objectively establish conditions in Glen Carbon rental property disputes.
