  1. Blog: Canada's Restoration Services Understanding the Key Types of Mold Testing Methods Mold testing is the process of inspecting mold growth and taking air or surface samples to determine or confirm the presence of mold as well. Furthermore, it is utilized to identify the type of infestation at hand for the purpose of finding the right solutions for mold removal Toronto. Mold inspection Toronto services make use of a number of different mold testing methods, which can be categorized into two general forms: air sampling and surface sampling. Collecting air samples and analysis of the same for mold testing Toronto can be done in various ways. A common technique makes use of a spore trap in a process known as spore trap sampling. These spore traps allow a specific volume of air to pass and impact the device’s sticky surface so that the particles in the air will adhere to and be captured on it. Mold spores may comprise a subset of such air particles and end up captured inside of the spore trap. The device is then sent to a mold testing lab for analysis, where it can be safely opened up for the identification and quantification of mold spores. Stains are applied to determine the presence of spores, although other methods like mold culturing are also used, albeit less commonly to facilitate more thorough mold inspection Toronto. Surface sampling is another category of commonly used techniques for mold testing Toronto. This can be done by taking bulk, swab, or tape samples from the suspected area. Bulk sampling is when a piece of the sample area is taken out or physically removed for testing in the laboratory. Swab sampling on the other hand, involves rubbing a cotton swab across the surface of a measured sample area before sending to the laboratory for further testing. Tape sampling makes use of a clear tape, which is pressed against the sample area to pick up or remove part of the mold present on the surface. Careful analysis of mold samples sent to laboratory after collection is critical so that the proper mold removal Toronto methods and strategies can be applied. This results in effective removal of mold and prevention of further growth, which are critical in restoring the air quality and the safety of a particular area where mold used to be.
