Mold Testing
Moisture buildup and mold infestations aren’t always noticeable in every home or business, but they can be lurking behind walls and in hidden areas. Coastal Pure Air provides comprehensive mold testing services that can reveal mold problems in your home or business.
Our team provides two main types of testing.
- Air quality sampling test: Using the industry standard Zefon Bio Pump Plus, our team collects multiple air samples around your home which are sent for laboratory analysis at an accredited institution. The test determines the specific mold spore count within your home, and all findings are emailed to you as soon as they are available. This is the best and most reliable way to test indoor air quality, and the convenient reporting process helps you know right away if your home or business is unsafe.
- Surface sampling test: For areas with visible mold or moisture, our team performs a surface swab or tape lift to gather samples and determine what type of mold and how much is present in the area. These samples are reviewed by an accredited laboratory, and a comprehensive report detailing the specifics mold species and spore count is provided shortly afterwards.
Attic Mold Removal Victoria BC
One of the most common places to find mold growth in a Vancouver Island home is within an attic or crawl space. These spaces often provide the perfect combination of humidity, temperature, and materials such as wood, particle board, or insulation. Mold grows quickly in these spaces when excessive moisture and lack of ventilation are present, and can ber when any of the following signs are present:
- Dark discoloration/staining on wood or insulation
- Moldy/Musty odours
- Attic or crawl space feels excessively hot or stuffy
- Visible signs of water damage or staining
- Moist wood and or insulation
- High humidity of 60% or greater in your home
Any of these signs can develop as a result of a leaky roof, improper drainage, improperly installed appliance exhaust fans, insufficient or blocked ventilation systems, and a wide variety of other issues.
The experts at Coastal Pure Air are familiar with finding and removing mold spores in a variety of attics and crawl spaces around Southern Vancouver Island. If you have mold in your home, it is absolutely crucial to have a professional team clear out the harmful spores and find the root cause to help prevent future growth.

What risks are associated with mold growth and your health?
Why is it so important to take care of a mold problem as soon as it is discovered? Prolonged exposure to mold spores can cause serious health implications such as respiratory illness and infection. Mold spores can be present throughout an entire building without obvious evidence, and they can cause you and your family harm. Some common symptoms that accompany mold exposure include headaches, coughing, wheezing, sinus blockages, respiratory distress, and skin rashes. Those with allergies or immune deficiencies are especially susceptible to mold, but even if you are healthy it is recommended by the CDC to remove any type of mold you encounter in your space.
When moisture is present in your home or business, mold can begin to grow and can spread quickly under the right conditions. If you discover mold in your space, avoid the contaminated area and seek professional services as soon as possible. The Coastal Pure Air team can help completely eradicate mold in your home or business with just one visit. In just a few short hours, the mold will be gone and you will be back in your space.

Prevent Mold Before It Happens
Those living on Vancouver Island get to enjoy island weather, but unfortunately this weather creates near perfect conditions for black mold to grow. That means we need to be a little more cautious about mold growth in our homes and buildings. The best way to avoid a potential mold problem is to be proactive in preventing mold issues before they happen.
Here are some ways to do that:
- Inspect the exterior of your home for standing water – including gutters, drains, and the ground around your foundation.
- Look out for condensation, especially near windows and on walls. Keeping the relative humidity below 55% can help reduce the chance of moisture buildup and mold growth.
- Make sure there is adequate ventilation – especially in attics and crawl spaces.
- Have a professional perform a mold test or air quality test.
