Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) can be dangerous and costly if left undetected. It often grows in hidden areas of your home—behind walls, under carpets, and inside HVAC ducts—posing serious health risks, especially to children, elderly individuals, and those with respiratory conditions.
At MycoTest, we offer professional-grade DIY mold test kits that empower homeowners, tenants, contractors, and inspectors to detect mold quickly and affordably—without waiting for a costly mold inspection.
Why Black Mold Testing Matters
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposure to black mold can trigger symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, eye irritation, and skin rashes. And yet, many mold infestations go unnoticed until they’ve already caused significant structural or health issues.
If your home has:
-
A musty or earthy smell
-
Past water damage
-
Unexplained health symptoms
-
Poor ventilation
...then home mold testing is highly recommended.
We provide accurate, lab-analyzed kits that help you detect mold before it spreads. Visit our Surface DIY Mold Test Kit or Air Quality DIY Mold Test Kit to get started.
