Frequently Asked Questions
What is ERMI testing and when do I need it?
ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index) is a DNA-based dust test that evaluates long-term mold contamination in a home. Unlike air sampling, which captures a snapshot in time, ERMI analyzes settled dust to reveal historical mold exposure. It's recommended when occupants have chronic health symptoms, when a previous inspection was inconclusive, or when a home has a known mold history.
How does indoor air quality testing work?
We collect air samples using calibrated pumps and spore trap cassettes at multiple indoor locations, plus an outdoor control sample. These are sent to an accredited independent laboratory that counts and identifies mold spores. We compare indoor levels to outdoor baseline levels — elevated indoor counts indicate a mold source inside the building.
What is mycotoxin testing and do I need it?
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain mold species. Mycotoxin testing identifies whether these toxins are present in your environment — an important distinction because some molds look benign but produce harmful toxins. This test is often recommended for individuals with mold-related illness, chronic fatigue, or unexplained neurological symptoms.
What is HERTSMI-2 scoring?
HERTSMI-2 is a scoring system derived from ERMI testing that focuses on the five mold species most associated with human illness. A low HERTSMI-2 score suggests the environment is likely safe; a high score suggests meaningful contamination. It's commonly used by physicians treating mold-related illness to assess whether a home is safe to inhabit.
How do I interpret my air quality test results?
When you receive your results from us, we don't just hand over a lab report and leave you guessing. We walk you through what each species means, what the numbers indicate relative to your outdoor baseline, and what the recommended next steps are. If remediation is indicated, we provide an independent referral — we never perform the work ourselves, which keeps our advice objective.
