What changes the price
- Number of samples: most tests include an outdoor baseline plus 1 to 3 indoor samples; each extra sample adds cost.
- Whether it is an add-on to a home inspection (cheaper) or a standalone visit (adds a service call).
- Home size, and whether the inspector writes a remediation protocol.
- Lab turnaround: rush results cost more.
When testing is worth it
- You smell mold but cannot see it.
- After a leak or flood, to find out whether growth spread.
- Before buying a home with past water damage.
- After remediation, as a clearance test.
EPA notes there are no federal limits for indoor mold spores, so results are read against the outdoor sample taken the same day.
