Kelowna Mould Testing FAQs
Answers to what Kelowna homeowners and buyers ask before booking mould or air quality testing.
How does mould and air quality testing work?
Ben runs a professional pump to take an indoor air sample and an outdoor reference sample. The samples go by priority shipping to a third-party lab, and you get the lab results in a written report.

An air quality mould test with one indoor sample is $400 with results in 8 business days, $450 in 4 business days or $500 in 2 business days, plus $150 for each additional sample.
What will the mould test report tell me?
The report sets out what was sampled, where each sample was taken and what the lab found, in plain language. It also shows the specific mould spore types found and the health risks associated with them.
