Why Take an Outdoor Sample?
Outdoor air gives the laboratory a comparison point for your indoor sample. This helps put your indoor mold levels into context instead of evaluating them on their own.

Common Questions
Is this hard to use?
No. My Mold Detective is designed to make professional-grade air and surface sampling simple for homeowners. Air samples take just five minutes, and the pump automatically shuts off when sampling is complete.
Do I need to test outside, too?
Yes, when taking air samples. An outdoor air sample provides a baseline that the lab uses to compare against your indoor results and determine whether indoor mold levels are normal, slightly elevated, or elevated.
Are lab fees included?
Lab analysis is separate from the cost of the kit and is $39 per sample. You only pay for the samples you choose to submit for analysis.
How long do results take?
Standard lab results are typically available within 3 business days after the laboratory receives your samples. Expedited next-business-day analysis is also available for an additional fee.
What areas of my home should I test?
Start with areas where you have concerns, such as rooms with musty odors, visible mold, water damage, or previous leaks. One indoor air sample can represent an open room of approximately 800–1,000 square feet; separate rooms or divided spaces should be sampled individually.
What will my mold test results tell me?
Your samples are analyzed by an accredited laboratory to identify the types and concentrations of mold detected. Your digital report compares indoor air samples with the outdoor baseline and indicates whether results are normal, slightly elevated, or elevated, along with guidance on potential next steps.
