Additional Samples(swab)

Additional surface samples may be collected using sterile swab methods to evaluate suspected microbial growth on non-porous or semi-porous surfaces. Swab sampling may be utilized when tape lift methods are not appropriate or when further surface evaluation is necessary.

Sampling follows Florida-recognized mold assessment practices and EPA-referenced indoor air quality (IAQ) guidelines. Additional swab samples are billed separately and may include laboratory analysis fees. Results reflect environmental conditions at the time of collection only.

(Tape Lift Samples) — Florida

Additional surface samples may be collected using adhesive tape lift methods to document the presence of visible or suspected microbial growth on surfaces. Tape lift samples are used to identify surface-level mold characteristics and are collected when conditions warrant further documentation.

Sampling is performed in accordance with Florida-recognized mold assessment practices and EPA-referenced IAQ guidelines. Additional surface samples are billed separately and may include laboratory analysis fees. Results represent conditions at the time of sampling only.
