Our mold inspectors take indoor air quality seriously. At home, clean air can help reduce respiratory issues, allergies, and asthma attacks. At work, healthier air leads to fewer sick days and higher productivity. No matter where you are, improving indoor air quality can only have a positive impact on the spaces you spend the most time in.
Early Detection & Prevention
Investing in early mold detection, mold inspection and mold testing can help prevent future issues in declining indoor air quality. Our environmental inspectors can help you identify areas of the property that are high risk for moisture exposure, outline solutions for HVAC ducting and air flow, as well as provide you with a comprehensive solution for remediation and/or other corrective actions.
HVAC Air Duct Sanitization
Over time, dust, mold, allergens, and other pollutants can accumulate in your air ducts, which are then circulated throughout your space when the HVAC system runs. Cleaning your air ducts can help remove these contaminants, leading to cleaner, healthier air. Our inspectors can even set a system reminder to help you keep up with quarterly filter changes!
VOCs/Radon/Asbestos Detection
In addition to mold testing and inspection, our team of environmentally conscious inspectors can help point out other areas of concern during inspections. From high VOCs caused by chemical or material off-gassing to carbon monoxide, radon, and asbestos, our inspections try to include a broad approach to improving everyday indoor air and healthy living spaces.
Industry Benefits To Improving Air Quality
Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, dormitory's, hospitality and even food and beverage industries all benefit from expert mold testing and inspection services. Clean air leads to fewer instances of respiratory illnesses, reducing issues in reputation, attendance and performance of students, staff and visitors. Additionally, monitoring air quality in healthcare and medical facilities can help ensure compliance with stringent regulations while maintaining a safe environment for both patients and staff.
Our certified mold testing and inspection services are geared towards the unique circumstances in scenario. Whether you are looking to improve air quality at home or reduce illnesses at work, our inspectors can help you identify and plan customized remediation protocols based on the ANSI.IICRC S520 Standard of Care.

Mold Sampling
Methods & Inspection
Mold inspection and sampling methods can vary based on the level of information needed and the environment in which sampling is requested. A Certified Mold Inspector ("CMI") will perform a site inspection looking for evidence of microbial growth, moisture intrusion and favorable conditions necessary for fungal and microbial growth. Depending on the situation, the mold inspector may recommend air testing, direct fungal exams and/or ERMI testing. During the sampling phase, both weather conditions and indoor environmental conditions are recorded as well as the locations and methods used for sampling. As the samples are being taken, a Chain of Custody ("COC") is filled out by the inspector. The COC documents the time, location, and method of sampling as well as instructions for turn around time for results. Once the chain of custody is completed, it is submitted with the samples to the lab for analysis.
Indoor Air Quality Sampling
Provides the most information regarding aerosolized mold spores. Results typically outline mold spore types, mold spore counts, lab provided comparisons and recommendations as well as brief descriptions of mold spore types found in the sample.
Direct Fungal Exams
Typically tape lift samples or swab samples. This sampling is best for identification and confirmation of visible discoloration or areas of suspected microbial growth. Lab reports are more basic, confirming the presence of mold and outlining the spore type on the sample.
Visual Inspections
Visual Inspections are great for identifying areas of concern, justifying further testing and gathering information needed to build a remediation protocol. Laser Particle Counters can be used to pin-point areas that could benefit from additional air or direct fungal exams. Thermal imaging and moisture meters identify areas of water intrusion or elevated moisture content. Reports are detailed and include sketches and measurements of affected spaces in addition to professional recommendations for further testing or remediation. Visual inspections are best used in conjunction with Indoor Air Quality Testing or Direct Fungal Exams to provide a comprehensive analysis of the indoor space.
Ready for Mold Testing?
Whether you are looking for independent third party mold testing to clear a recent mold remediation project, a direct fungal exam to determine the presence of mold on the surface of a substrate, or indoor air quality testing to determine whether the air in your home or business is contributing to a recent decline in health, our expert indoor air quality professionals can help!

3rd Party Clearance Testing
After a mold remediation, a clearance test (Post Remediation Verification - "PRV") is typically performed to ensure the mold was adequately removed from inside the containment space. Due to a conflict of interest, it makes sense to have a separate company from the one who is doing the remediation, perform this inspection and testing. At Bulldog®, we offer 3rd Party Clearance Testing as a solution to the conflict of interest issue that arises from each and every mold remediation project.
In the event you choose to use Bulldog® for your mold remediation we can provide a list of reputable testing companies to clear our remediation project - or - you can choose your own accredited mold testing company to inspect our work.
