Testing & Inspection

Mold inspections that look for the cause.

An inspection from Pure Maintenance of Ohio looks for mold and for the moisture feeding it, with InstaScope readings on site and samples sent to an accredited lab. You see the numbers before anyone talks about treatment.

What You Get

What an inspection gets you.

Independent lab partner

Air and surface samples go to an accredited third-party lab, which has no stake in what we recommend.

The cause behind it

Humidity, surface moisture and cold spots show why mold is growing, and that decides what fixes it.

Plain-language reports

Spore counts and mold types, explained so you can decide what to do next.

A report you keep

The lab report is yours to share with a landlord, a buyer or your contractor.

One team for the next step

If the results call for remediation, the same team can treat the house and retest with the same lab.

How a Visit Works

Two parts to every visit.

A visit answers four questions: is there a mold problem, how bad is it, what's causing it, and what will fix it? Testing and inspection get there together.

Specialist mold testing

We offer several kinds of mold test, including viable testing, where captured spores are cultured on a Petri dish so the lab can identify living species.

Property inspection

We check the building itself for moisture, humidity and cold spots.

Inspection

Full property inspection.

We go through the property room by room and note what we find, from water stains to rooms that feel damp.

  • Structural integrity and behavioral contribution
  • Relative humidity, room by room
  • Surface moisture and cold spot detection

InstaScope

The InstaScope™ shows readings on the spot.

The InstaScope samples the air as the technician moves through each room, so a problem area shows up before any sample leaves the house.

  • Particles enter the InstaScope wand and flow into the instrument's chamber
  • Inside the optical chamber, particles are sized and excited with Xenon flashbulbs
  • Measurements are collected by the InstaScope's onboard chips
  • Results display in real-time on iPad, with reports available online afterward
Our Approach

Pick the test that fits.

The right test depends on your circumstances and what you want to learn.

Air-O-Cell flow indicator device used for non-viable mold spore sampling

Non-viable testing

We collect an air sample and the lab counts the mold spores in it, living or dead, recording spores per cubic meter and the types present.

InstaScope diagnostic device used for real-time room scans

InstaScope scan

A live scan of each room's air that tells the technician where lab samples will be most useful.

Surface & tape testing

Dust and tape samples from suspect surfaces go to an independent lab, which reports spore count and genus.

The Report

What the report tells you.

Testing shows whether mold is present, how severe it is in spores per m³, which types turn up, and how those readings compare with a baseline sample.

The results come together in one written report on the air in the home and whether it needs mold remediation.

  • Spore count per cubic meter, per zone
  • Mold types, by genus
  • Comparison against a baseline sample
  • Plain-language report & clear next steps
Get Tested

Book a mold inspection.

Inspections are booked Monday through Saturday. Mention what you've noticed and where when you call, and the technician arrives with the right test.
