Why do I have to take an outdoor sample?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMold is a normal part of our environment, as mold spores are present in the air practically everywhere. These spores differ widely in type and quantity, from place to place. Even in a building that doesn’t have a mold problem, there are still mold spores in the air, arriving from the outside through doors and windows, cracks and crevices, or tracked in by people and pets. This is known as infiltration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green cassette provides a sample of the environment outside of your home, giving the lab a baseline from which to analyze your indoor samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan I use one kit to test multiple buildings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Mold is everywhere in our natural environment, meaning every location is unique and will have different molds and different quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Outdoor Sample, which is essential for determining the relative health of your indoor air, needs to be taken within close proximity of the Indoor Sample(s). It does you no good to take the Outdoor Sample in front of your house and then test a room on a different property, even if the properties are relatively close. For that, you would need to purchase a refill, which includes a fresh outdoor cassette and up to three indoor cassettes. (The good news is the pumps are reusable, so there’s no need to buy a second full kit.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven when testing a guest house or some other ancillary building on the same property, we generally suggest using a fresh Outdoor Sample.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*If you decide to use the same Outdoor Sample for more than one building on the same property (again, not recommended), it’s vital you stick to what we call the Principle of One: one kit, one property, all within one hour.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow long does it take to get my results?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce the lab receives your samples, the results will be available in three business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow will I get my results?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce your report is ready, the results will be immediately available online at gotmold.com.

After all, a mold problem is really a moisture problem. The next step is to determine the extent of the repairs and cleanup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf these steps are beyond your ability, we encourage you to find an independent and qualified mold assessment professional in your area. That professional should perform a thorough physical inspection (additional testing may be needed) and provide a comprehensive written report with specific observations, detailed recommendations and, if necessary, a remediation plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinding a mold inspection professional who is not also a remediator can be a challenge, but it’s important that you do. Mold inspectors should never be remediators, especially on the same project.

Test kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe GOT MOLD? Test Kit is not designed to be a replacement for a mold inspection performed by a qualified professional. Its purpose is to be a cost-effective first step. You might compare it to an at-home pregnancy test kit: you wouldn’t immediately start buying baby furniture if it came back positive, right? Please use the same common sense here. You should not make major life decisions, such as planning remediation, filing lawsuits, relocating, etc., based solely upon the results from this — or any — DIY mold test kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there are Alert Conditions detected using this kit, and you intend to take action, we recommend you find a qualified mold assessment professional to perform a thorough physical inspection (additional testing may be needed) and provide a comprehensive written report with specific observations, detailed recommendations and, if necessary, a remediation plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur test kit includes the reusable BioVac™ Air Sampler, using spore traps that collect the microscopic particles floating around in the air in the immediate area being sampled — at the time of sampling. These conditions can differ minute-to-minute, depending upon many factors, such as ventilation and movement in the building. Since air is a constantly changing landscape, the results from this kit are not to be considered a measure of exposure or risk, and shouldn’t be used to determine whether a building is “safe.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, since spore traps capture spores in the air, if there’s a hidden mold problem in a wall, for instance, this method may not detect it. Similarly, if the air in the room has been still for quite some time, spores may have settled out of the air, which may produce misleading results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou must carefully follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide.
