If you suspect that you have mold in your home, but can't find the source of the contamination, then this is the smartest most economical mold test kit offered in home mold testing and detection. This mold test and retest kit is designed to help you find the location of a source of hidden mold contamination in your home or office. This is a search kit. This type of kit does not identify the molds, it guides you to the mold source by showing what's in the air in each room. This whole house kit contains 10 tests designed to test many rooms or test and retest several suspect rooms. The vibrant visual mold colors and numbers of mold collected will allow you to compare and find the room with the most likely source of the mold contamination. The kit also contains a thoughtful-helpful mold investigation guide and a mold clean up guide. Each of the ten mold test films will support all the typical molds found growing on water-damaged wet building materials such as wood, sheetrock, insulation paper, glues and paints, etc. These molds include the black "toxic mold" Stachybotrys, and various Penicillium and Aspergillus and Cladosporum molds and other wet indicator mold species, which can cause illness. You simply open the film in each location and allow the air to settle on it for one hour. Add a drop of activating liquid and let it grow. The test develops each mold captured, in full color, at home for less than $4.99 per mold test. There are no lab fees with this kit. Other, one shot, mail-it-in lab test kits which offer to test a single air mold sample for $30-$40 are ineffective because they don't help you pinpoint the location of the highest mold count, which is the likeliest location of the moisture problem, damage and mold growth in your home or office. Once you locate the mold source, if you choose, you can purchase a DIY mold identification kit or send a swab or tape to a mold identification testing laboratory, suggested in the kit insert.
