Air quality testing for the spores you can't see.
The mold you can see is usually the smallest part of the problem. Air sampling reveals airborne spores in your Santa Ana home — and compares them to a true outdoor baseline.
Air-quality testing is how we measure what you're actually breathing. We use calibrated spore-trap cassettes drawn by a pump — typically 5 minutes per location, 3 locations per home, plus one outdoor baseline.
The outdoor sample is the key. Without it, indoor spore counts mean nothing. With it, we can tell whether your home is at, above, or well below normal Southern California ambient levels.
Lab analysis returns spore counts by genus, including the species that matter most for respiratory and immune-compromised concerns: Aspergillus, Penicillium, Stachybotrys, Chaetomium, and more.

- Spores blow into every Southern California home — that's normal. Without an outdoor sample taken the same day at your Santa Ana address, indoor counts are meaningless. The outdoor baseline is what turns numbers into a verdict.
- The lab reports every genus present on the spore-trap cassette. We flag the ones that matter most for human health: Aspergillus, Penicillium, Stachybotrys, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Alternaria, and Fusarium.
- Standard package: 3 indoor locations plus 1 outdoor baseline. Larger Orange County homes or multi-story buildings often need 4–6 indoor samples; we'll quote you before any extra work.
- Often yes. Elevated indoor spore counts of typically-hidden genera (Stachybotrys, Chaetomium) are a strong signal of growth behind drywall — even when the wall looks perfect. We then use thermal and moisture tools to localize it.
- Yes. After your remediation contractor finishes, we return for an independent clearance test at a reduced re-test rate. Because we don't do remediation, our clearance results are genuinely third-party.
