Questions
Good to know
How long do results take?
Once the lab has your swabs, results take up to __LABTIME__. We email you your results as soon as the lab finishes, and you can view or download them on the tracking page. Holidays or a sample form missing details can add time.
How do I check my order?
Go to the tracking page and enter the email you used at checkout. It shows where your order is, from shipping to your results. To open your results there, add the order number from your order email.
Are there any other fees?
No. The price covers the kit, lab analysis of every swab and __SHIPINC__. There’s no separate lab fee and no shipping charge.__TAXNOTE____RUSHFEE__
Is there a deadline to send my swabs back?
Please mail your swabs back within 90 days of delivery. After that, the prepaid return label and lab analysis included with your kit are no longer guaranteed. For the best results, mail your swabs within a few days of swabbing.
Is return shipping included?
__RETURNSHIP__
What do the lab results show?
For each swab, the lab names the molds it saw under the microscope, identified by genus, like Cladosporium or Penicillium/Aspergillus. It rates how much of each it saw on a 1+ to 5+ scale (spores per field), and notes whether there are indicators of growth, like hyphae, which may point to mold growing on that spot rather than spores that settled there.
Will it tell me if it’s Stachybotrys?
Yes. If Stachybotrys is on a swab, your results list it by name, with its rating.
How many swabs do I need?
One swab per spot. Count the spots you want answers on, like a ceiling stain and a spot behind the toilet, and pick that many.
What comes in the kit?
Your swabs, step-by-step sampling instructions, and a sample form to send in with them.
When does my kit ship?
Your kit will be shipped within __SHIPSIN__ of your order. Delivery time depends on USPS.
Is this a mold inspection?
No. It's a lab test of the spots you swab. It doesn't look for hidden moisture or check the rest of the house.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
Yes, until your kit ships. On the tracking page, enter your order email and order number and tap Request cancellation, and we’ll refund the full amount. Kits ship within __SHIPSIN__, so the sooner the better. Once your kit has shipped, all sales are final. See our shipping & sales policy for details.
