Mold Testing: Receive Certified Lab Results 

Discover the hidden dangers lurking in your home. Trust Pinnelli Mold Pros for accurate and reliable mold testing services.

If you suspect mold based on signs you’re experiencing, you might wonder if you need a mold inspection or mold testing.  A mold inspection involves a visual assessment of your property to identify areas of concern, while mold testing is a more in-depth process that includes taking samples and sending them to a lab for analysis.

This is where Pinnelli Mold Pros, with our unmatched expertise and experience, stands out from the leading mold testing companies in the Chicagoland area.

We are not just about mold testing; we care about your satisfaction. We are honest and 100% committed to ensuring our customers’ safety. We won’t recommend a mold test if it’s not necessary. However, if we see black mold, we’ll discuss mold remediation options to remove and repair the area and make your home or business safe again. We start with a mold inspection, and if we suspect mold growth while evaluating your property, we’ll run accurate and fast mold testing to help you determine the next steps.

What is Mold Testing?

Mold testing determines whether you have mold and, if so, the type. Our process is environmentally friendly, and all our instruments are approved for certified mold inspections. We send your samples to highly rated third-party laboratories and receive comprehensive and detailed reports to understand your property’s mold issue.

We’ll have the reports within 24 – 72 hours and discuss the lab results with you immediately. We prioritize your understanding of the types of mold in your home or business and their potential effects. If there is mold, we can promptly review your mold remediation options to remove, repair, and, if necessary, rebuild the area.

Our Mold Testing Process

Our professionals commonly find mold in basements, attics, crawlspaces, and bathrooms. The types of mold we often encounter include Stachybotrys, Chaetomium, Aspergillus, Pencillium, and Fusarium. We look for the areas of highest concern and test these zones, sending the specimen to a certified lab for third-party testing.

A few techniques we may use when testing for mold in the property include:

  • Tape-lift
  • Swab
  • Bulk tests
  • Inner-wall sampling
  • ERMI tests on existing dust
  • Air tests with normal air or ‘disturbed air’

After receiving the results, we can fully understand the mold issue you’re experiencing and how to properly remediate it. We’ll help you understand the type of mold you have (if applicable), how we can treat it, and what you can do to prevent it from returning.

Pre and Post Mold Testing

At Pinnelli Mold Pros, safety and health are our primary concerns. That’s why we perform pre- and post-tests during mold remediation. These tests are crucial as they provide a baseline for the mold levels in your property before and after the remediation process, ensuring that the mold has been effectively removed.

The pre-test is to determine if you have mold and the type. It helps us understand the depth of the problem and the proper steps to remediate it. 

The post-test ensures our remediation was successful. With third-party, non-biased results, we can reassure you that the mold was eradicated, and with proper prevention, it shouldn’t return.
