Tape Lift Mold Testing

Tape lift testing uses a clear adhesive sample pressed onto a smooth surface so a laboratory can examine what is growing there.

What to expect

A clear, property-specific scope

The inspector starts with the property history and the reason for the visit. Accessible areas within the agreed scope are reviewed, relevant measurements are documented, and sampling is recommended only when it can answer a defined question.

  • Property history and concern review
  • Visual assessment of relevant accessible areas
  • Clear findings and recommended next steps

Tape lift or swab

Tape lifts suit smooth, flat surfaces such as painted walls or cabinets. Swabs suit rougher or irregular surfaces. The inspector chooses the method that fits the material.

Common questions

Is tape lift testing disruptive?

No. It is a quick, non-invasive sample taken from the surface.
