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.
Whether you're dealing with a landlord, a home sale, or a family member who feels worse indoors, call Breffni Remediation. We'll connect you with an independent mold tester in Brooklyn who gets you lab results you can stand behind.
Testing is most useful when the mold is hidden, when someone needs documentation, or when you want proof a remediation job actually worked. A good tester will tell you when it isn't worth the money.
Real people pick up 24/7.

Sloppy sampling produces meaningless numbers. These are the standards we expect from the testers we refer.

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.
Different questions call for different samples. Here's what testers in our network typically offer.
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.
Clear tape or a sterile swab picks up material from a suspicious stain so the lab can confirm whether it's mold and which genus it is.
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.
Lab reports with chain-of-custody records give buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords objective evidence instead of competing opinions.

Straightforward, start to finish.
Tell us why you want testing: a smell, symptoms, a dispute, a sale, or clearance after removal. The goal decides which samples make sense.
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.
You get the lab report plus a plain-language explanation of what the numbers mean and whether remediation is recommended.

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. One wall cavity sample and an air test 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.
Without an outdoor baseline, indoor numbers have nothing to be compared against. It's what makes the results meaningful.
Typically a few business days, with faster rush options when you're facing a closing date or move-in deadline.
Not very. Petri-dish kits grow mold in nearly every home, which tells you little. Professional sampling measures volume and compares indoor to outdoor air.
There are no federal limits for indoor mold spores. Results are judged by comparing indoor samples with outdoor controls and looking for water-damage indicator species.
It's a DNA-based dust test that identifies many mold species. Ask your tester whether it fits your situation, since it isn't always necessary.
