My Mold Detective Mold Test Kit
Description
Description
The My Mold Detective Mold Test Kit is a do-it-yourself product that provides accurate third-party laboratory diagnosis of the presence of mold in your space. This easy-to-use system employs the same methods and technology used by professionals.
Fast, accurate results are provided to you by a nationally accredited laboratory after payment of an additional lab processing fee. The testing results will provide suggestions for additional services if they indicate remediation steps are required.
Why Test for Mold?
Mold can appear in your home in places that have been exposed to water damage or persistent high humidity. These can be difficult to see, occurring behind walls, underneath flooring, and within structural elements, eventually causing widespread damage.
Mold spores float in the air and settle on every surface, triggering both allergies and asthma in sensitive people. While a musty odor may indicate the presence of mold, spores are tiny, invisible to the naked eye, so testing is the sure-fire way to discover its existence in your home.
Patented Air Sampling Pump with 3-Step Process
My Mold Detective uses an air sampling pump to collect all molds, even lighter spores not readily attracted to Petri dish sampling methods. Professionals note that sampling both inside and outside (control) air is the only way to obtain accurate results. This simple process takes only a few minutes to perform, and less than a week to receive certified results from the lab.
- Conduct an air sample outside to serve as a “control” or “baseline” sample. Insert an opened cassette on the inlet tray and push the green button on the pump. The pump automatically turns off after 5 minutes. Remove and reseal the cassette.
- Repeat this process for indoor rooms. One sample can represent a room of up to 800 to 1,000 square feet in size. For surface sampling, press the tacky surface of the Tape Lift onto the desired surface, close onto the white backer.
- Log onto www.MyMoldDetective.com to register your samples. Follow the online instructions and finalize by processing your payment for the lab analysis: $35 per sample for 3-day processing and $50 per sample for express 24-hour service. Insert your Air Sample Cassettes and Tape Lifts into the included pre-addressed envelope and mail them.
Online-Lab Report and Support
Once your samples are received and tested by a third-party American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited lab, you will be notified via email when the report is ready. The customized report is available online and will tell you if your mold levels are "Normal", "Slightly Elevated", or "Elevated".
If levels are elevated, My Mold Detective gives property owners the opportunity to contact its help line to discuss recommendations for next steps, which may include recommended additional professional testing, and contact information of pre-approved remediation companies.

- AAmVerified BuyerReviewingMy Mold Detective Mold Test KitI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars8 years agoWorked great, super easy
We have used this twice now, once at our rental and once for a house we were inspecting. It was easy to use, got the results super fast and it was really comforting to know where we did and didn't have a mold problem. It's expensive, but worth the price.
