Mold Testing

Mold thrives in the Pacific Northwest's damp climate. Heavy rainfall, high humidity, and mild temperatures create ideal conditions for mold growth in crawlspaces, behind walls, in attics, and around windows. Common mold types found in our region include Stachybotrys (black mold), Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium—each presenting different health risks and requiring different remediation approaches. Professional testing is the only way to accurately identify what you're dealing with.

Absolute Asbestos conducts both air sampling and surface sampling to assess mold contamination. Air samples measure airborne spore concentrations, comparing indoor levels to outdoor baseline readings. Surface samples (tape lifts, swabs, or bulk samples) identify the specific mold species growing on building materials. All samples are analyzed by accredited laboratories, and our detailed reports help you understand the scope of the problem and the appropriate remediation strategy. We serve homeowners, property managers, real estate professionals, and businesses across Stanwood, Camano Island, Arlington, Marysville, and the surrounding Snohomish, Skagit, and Island County communities.
