We Provide Inspection Services Only

At Mold Testing LLC, we focus exclusively on professional mold and lead testing services for residents and businesses in Clifton, NJ. We do not offer remediation services, and that's by design. We remain completely impartial when testing and assessing mold.

This frees us from the temptation to exaggerate issues or deliver false positives. If our testing reveals a mold problem, we'll gladly refer you to a reputable remediation company that we trust. Then, once the mold removal process is done, we can perform a follow-up test to confirm that your space is genuinely mold-free.

About the Mold Testing Process

The Inspection

A professional mold inspection can include air pumps, infrared cameras, swabs, and moisture meters, and we will investigate every corner of your space for potential mold growth. We test visible spots, areas prone to dampness, and places that are hard to access, like your basement, attic, and HVAC system. We use both air quality assessments and sample analysis, to identify the presence of mold spores, determine their concentration, and identify the specific types of mold. All things considered, our tests are incredibly thorough. We want to make sure you and your family are safe.

We Analyze Samples and Do Lab Work

After collecting samples, we conduct laboratory analysis to identify mold species and determine their levels. Tests like Mold Specific Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (MSQ/PCR) allow us to pinpoint the exact mold genus and species. We also use advanced techniques such as Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) testing to evaluate your property's overall mold profile.

We Provide Recommendations on Your Next Steps

Once we've completed the testing and analysis, we provide a detailed report showing you everything we found on your property. This will also include recommendations on your next steps -- since we don't do mold removals, we can put you in touch with a respected local contractor who will handle remediation for you.

From First-Time Home Buyers to Long-Time Residents

General home inspections will only catch visible mold that anyone can find; it's hidden problems that can lead to costly repairs and health issues later. First-time buyers and long-time residents alike benefit from regular mold inspections. We recommend scheduling a mold inspection every few years, especially if you notice musty odors or experience allergy-like symptoms. And if you have had any burst pipes, storm damage, or humidity issues in your home, it's likely that mold may be taking hold somewhere.

Ignoring Mold Causes Health Problems and Home Damage

Mold can cause allergies, chronic sinus infections, and more, so don't ignore it! The risks are even higher for people with asthma (black mold has caused asthma attacks) and compromised immune systems. But believe it or not, mold can also cause physical damage to your home. It grows into materials like drywall and wood, and this will cause warping or even structural insecurity if you do not kill the mold quickly.

Mold Testing FAQs in Clifton, NJ

Do You Offer Mold Testing Services in Clifton Neighborhoods Like Athenia and Allwood?

Yes, we regularly inspect properties across all parts of Clifton, including Athenia, Allwood, Botany Village, Albion, and even neighboring communities like Passaic and Garfield. If you're located anywhere in Passaic County, we'll be happy to come out and help.

How Do You Identify Mold That's Hidden Behind Walls?

We use tools like infrared cameras, moisture meters, and air samplers to detect mold that's not visible to the naked eye. These tools help us locate moisture intrusion and confirm the presence of mold spores without damaging your walls.

What Makes Mold Testing LLC Different From Other Mold Companies?

We don't profit from mold remediation, which means we have no incentive to exaggerate a problem. Our business focuses entirely on testing and reporting, so you receive objective findings that aren't tied to any upsell.

Do You Handle Commercial Mold Inspections?

Yes. We regularly test mold levels in retail storefronts, offices, and mixed-use buildings throughout Clifton. Whether you're a building owner or property manager, we can provide clear lab-based results and support compliance with health standards.

How Do You Test Air Quality for Mold?

We use calibrated air pumps to collect airborne mold spores, which are then analyzed in a lab. These tests help us understand whether mold is circulating through your HVAC system or lingering after past water damage.

Are Mold Tests Worth Doing If I Don't See Anything?

Definitely. Mold often hides behind drywall, in basements, attics, or ventilation systems. If you've noticed a musty smell or unexplained health symptoms like coughing or sneezing, testing can reveal a problem before it spreads.

How Often Should I Test My Home for Mold?

For most homes, we recommend a test every few years—especially in older properties or those that have experienced leaks, floods, or plumbing issues. Regular testing helps catch small issues before they turn into major repairs.

Is This Type of Testing Appropriate for Rental Properties?

Yes. Both landlords and tenants can request mold testing. It's a smart move before signing a lease, moving into a rental, or following up on mold concerns raised by a resident.

Can I Get Mold Testing During a Home Inspection?

Absolutely. Many homebuyers in Clifton request a mold test during the due diligence period. We work directly with buyers, agents, and home inspectors to add specialized testing that traditional inspections miss.

How Long Does a Mold Inspection Take?

Most residential inspections take about one to two hours, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the layout. Commercial buildings or homes with multiple floors may take a bit longer.

Do You Test for Lead Paint or Other Hazards?

Yes. In addition to mold testing, we also offer professional lead testing services in older buildings across Clifton. This is especially important in homes built before 1978, where lead-based paint may still be present.

Will You Help Me Understand the Results?

Of course. Every test comes with a detailed report that outlines what we found, where, and what the levels mean. We're happy to walk you through the findings and recommend next steps if remediation is needed.
