Black Mold Testing in Orlando, FL

Because What You Can’t See Can Cost You Everything

Home / Mold Testing / Black Mold Testing

Not every dark mold is black mold. Color alone cannot identify a mold; a lab can. Our black mold testing confirms whether Stachybotrys, the mold usually meant by "black mold", is present, with a clear report of what was found.

How We Test for Black Mold

Swab sampling: a sterile swab of the suspect growth tells the lab directly whether it is mold, and what kind.
Air sampling: air drawn through a spore-trap cassette, inside and outside as a control, shows how the growth affects the air and can pick up hidden mold.
Lab analysis: samples go to an accredited lab. Results from the accredited lab are typically back in 24-48 hours, in a written report with photos.

Why test instead of guessing

Dark staining can be mildew, dirt or another common mold. Knowing exactly what is there decides what happens next, and keeps you from paying for work you do not need. If Stachybotrys is confirmed, we can write a remediation protocol for the contractor you choose.

Our articles on mold colors and black mold health effects explain more.

Why We Never Perform Remediation

Florida Statute 468 requires mold assessors and mold remediators to be separate licensed entities. Quality Mold Solutions is strictly an assessment firm. We identify, document, and report. Remediation goes to a contractor of your choosing, one with no relationship to us.

This matters because when the same company assesses and remediates, the financial incentive to find more mold (and recommend more work) is built into the business model. Our structure removes that incentive entirely. Every finding in our reports reflects what is actually present in the property, nothing more and nothing less. When remediation is complete, we can return independently to verify the work was done correctly through our Post-Remediation Verification service.
