Testing

Mycotoxin testing is a specialized service that detects toxic substances produced by certain types of mold. While not all mold is dangerous, some species release mycotoxins—microscopic poisons that can linger in the air, settle on surfaces, and even absorb into porous materials like fabric, drywall, or insulation. These toxins aren’t just a nuisance—they can cause serious health effects, especially with long-term exposure.

Unlike basic mold tests, which identify mold spores or visible growth, mycotoxin testing looks deeper, searching for the chemical compounds themselves. This is especially important if:

• You’ve had previous mold issues but still experience unexplained symptoms
   
• There’s a musty odor but no visible mold
   
• You’re immunocompromised or have respiratory issues
   
• You want peace of mind that your space is truly clean after remediation
   

Testing typically involves dust sampling, which is then sent to a lab for analysis. Results can help determine not just if mycotoxins are present, but which kinds, and at what levels. From there, we can recommend the appropriate steps—whether that’s further remediation, air purification, or material replacement.

Think of mycotoxin testing as the next level of mold awareness—for when you need to be absolutely sure the environment you live or work in is safe.
