Indoor air sampling
A pump draws a measured volume of air, often about 15 liters per minute for five to ten minutes, through a spore trap cassette. The lab counts and identifies spores per cubic meter.
Need proof, not guesses? Breffni Remediation connects you with licensed and insured independent mold testing professionals in Lebanon who collect air and surface samples, send them to an accredited lab, and explain the results in plain English.
Not every situation needs a lab. But when there's a dispute, a sale, or a health question, numbers from an accredited lab settle arguments that eyeballing can't.
Answered day and night, holidays too.

Testing only helps if it's done right and interpreted honestly. Here's what you can expect.

Expect a calibrated pump, sealed sampling cassettes, and at least one outdoor baseline so indoor results mean something.
You'll know the cost per sample and the lab fee before anything is collected, so you can choose how many locations to test.
Local testers schedule quickly, and many labs offer next-day or 24-hour rush analysis when a deadline is close.
Insurance, licensing where required, and accredited lab partners are the baseline we look for in every independent tester.
The right test depends on what you're trying to prove. These are the common options.

When you see something and want to know what it is, a surface sample answers that question directly.
A small port lets the tester sample air inside a wall without opening it, which is useful when you suspect growth behind finished drywall after a leak.
After removal, air samples inside the former work area should come back in line with outdoor levels, without elevated indicator types like Stachybotrys or Chaetomium. This is how you know the job is done.
When two sides disagree about mold, accredited lab results with proper paperwork are hard to argue with.

Here's what happens after you call.
Describe the situation and what you need to prove. That shapes the sampling plan.
Samples are collected indoors and out, sealed, labeled, and logged on a chain-of-custody form.
Samples go to an accredited lab. You already know the cost from the upfront quote, and you'll know when to expect results.
The tester walks you through the results, compares indoor and outdoor counts, and gives a clear recommendation.

Here's what some recent callers shared.

My landlord kept saying the spots in my bedroom were just dirt. The tape-lift came back as Cladosporium and Aspergillus, and the air sample was well above outdoor levels. That report got the repair done.
I wanted proof the remediation actually worked. The clearance air samples came back lower than the outdoor control, and I finally felt comfortable moving my kids back into the basement.
We were selling and the buyer asked about a past leak. A quick cavity sample plus air testing showed nothing unusual, and the deal closed on time.
The tester explained the numbers clearly instead of just emailing a PDF. Knowing what was normal versus elevated made the whole thing less stressful.
Air tests tell you what you're breathing. Surface tests tell you what a visible stain actually is.
Mold spores are always present outdoors. The outdoor control sets a baseline, so indoor results can be judged by whether they're higher or contain different types than outside.
Standard lab turnaround is usually two to three business days. Many labs offer 24-hour or same-day rush analysis for an added fee.
Settle-plate kits from the hardware store almost always grow something because spores are everywhere. Without an outdoor control or measured air volume, the results can't tell you much.
No official threshold exists. Testers look at how indoor counts and types compare to outdoor air on the same day.
ERMI analyzes settled dust using DNA methods to identify mold species. It's sometimes used in health-related investigations, though most residential decisions rely on air and surface sampling.
