Common response from the Lab- I do not know this; I do not know that, I am just a lab technician. For the most part a corporate machine: money, money, money, we do not care about you or you client. But please, give us your money Poor customer service Lab reports that list Aspergillus/Penicillium Like- Hey we do not know what it is! Too many problems to list

The definition of the word Consultant=a person who gives professional or expert advice. If you cannot see the value in the information that MouldWorks delivers, please move on. Your client will eventually call me. Al ---------- 1st in Customer Service, Responsiveness and Availability. MouldWorks lab acts as our partner in serving our clients. MouldWorks gives us real world, timely information regarding the microbial side. They make themselves available and will offer advice on sampling strategy to insure that we’re thorough and catching indoor reservoirs of fungi. MouldWorks provides a clear, concise, and readable narrative report down the speciation of viable samples. They culture Tape Lifts and will also report many bacteria that may be cultured with fungi. They genuinely look for ways to enhance their customer’s experience. MouldWorks is an invaluable asset to Moisture Intrusion Analysts, Inc. and the clients we serve! Cheryl ---------- Why should you use MouldWorks! I've used the rest, now I'm using the best (MouldWorks). PRICE - Let's be honest, money does matter! MouldWorks is very price and cost conscious. I have found that I get the best value from MouldWorks consistently. USER-FRIENDLY - I find the information and data contained in the reports to be clear, concise and organized. Additionally, and more importantly, my clients understand and have a better understanding of their environment because of MouldWorks. I am constantly getting positive feedback from my clients (THIS IS PRICELESS). DEPENDABLE - I have been using MouldWorks since 2003 and have not been let down or disappointed in their performance a single time. I believe their dependability is based upon their professionalism, experience and concern for each client. If you need a partner that lives, eats and breathes this stuff as much as you do, then I think that you could not ask for a better ally to understand and assist you in your analysis needs. Dave ---------- At C.S.I. we feel we provide the best, most comprehensive mold investigation service available today. In conjunction we only want the best laboratory analysis for our clients as well. We have chosen to partner exclusively with MouldWorks for their unparalleled viable species analysis, industry best tape-lift work, consumer friendly report format as well as their direct availability to answer any questions that may arise. The entire MouldWorks staff is willing to go the extra mile, whatever the request. I honestly feel like I have my own personal lab at my beck and call. If you want to be the best then you want MouldWorks on your team. Eric ---------- We only use MouldWorks got many reasons: we can make a phone call to the lab and talk to someone ASAP and they answer the phone and help us with any question on lab notes or final reports; they help our customers with direct health related questions and other indoor air quality issues. I wholeheartedly endorse them, feel free to call me! Steve ---------- Some info about MouldWorks: - Highly respected PhD Mycologist with 38 years in the field performs the analysis of the data for every report as well as signs each report.
- Perform species identification for viable air samples to determine active mold profile indoors versus outdoors, by sample site. Spore traps used as supplemental data to viable air samples - but not necessary.
- Unique approach to tape lift samples: microscopic analysis, species analysis from culture, and archive every tape lift. Swabs are seen as significantly inferior to tape lifts - most of the site information is lost in a swab versus tape lift.
- Bulk samples also receive microscopic and species analysis.
- Use species analysis to perform forensic analysis of sites: how long has mold been present, how active, and what are the health risks.
Compare spore traps with viable air samplesIf you are convinced that spore traps are the way to go, but are interested in comparing the results from spore traps with viable air samples taken in the same place. All spore traps and viable air samples received will be charged at the flat rate of $25 per sample. Take viable air samples at 28 L per minute for one minute. Spore traps at 15 L per minute for 5 minutes. Please call with any questions. MouldWorks culturable tape lifts included in this offer (we can send you tape lifts at no charge) for same price of $25.

AIHA publication cites scientific evidence of serious concerns about spore trap accuracyMouldWorks encourages everyone to read this publication for themselves to reach their own conclusions: "Field Guide for the Determination of Biological contaminants in Environmental Samples" 2nd edition. 2005 Edited by Ling-Ling Hung, Ph.D., J. David Miller, Ph.D., H. Kenneth Dillon, Ph.D., CIH. Published by American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA). 284 pp. In addition to raising serious questions about spore trap accuracy in terms of not capturing small spores and under-counting all spores with less than 1000 magnification and 2-3 hours of analysis per spore trap, there is much additional information that all mold professionals should make sure they are exposed to.

AIHA publication cites scientific evidence of serious concerns about spore trap accuracySpore traps have an unpredictable bias against small smooth round spores (Pen/Asp) sticking to the surface. In addition, since "Pen/Asp like" is all that can be said about these spores, what conclusions would you reach if the the counts between indoor and outdoor are the same with spore traps? "No problem" probably. With viable air sampling, comparable number of spores between indoors and outdoors doesn't mean the same mix of species. And, with different mix of species, very different conclusion can be reached.

Viable air sampling proves highly accurate and reliableMouldWorks has now experienced thousands of mold assessment examples in which viable air samples are used. The profile of species obtained from this type of sampling has shown itself to be the critical information for accurately assessing the presence or absence of mold infestation. If the profile of species is significantly different from the outside there is an interior infestation. While the numerical counts are helpful, given how variable they can be it is even more important that the profile of species is minimally variable. MouldWorks is now AIHA accreditedMouldWorks laboratory is now AIHA accredited under their Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation Program (EMLAP) for fungal cultures. This coveted designation was achieved after passing rigorous tests through AIHA's proficiency testing program, EMPAT and an on site visit. The on site inspector was not only very impressed with the level of detail and forensic analysis in our reports, but was very impressed with the fact that we archive every tape lift we receive, that we culture from our tape lifts, and that we have the largest pure species collection of any lab he has ever visited on behalf of AIHA.
What is different about us?What is different about us? All work is overseen and certified by our Chief Scientist, a PhD in Mycology with 36 years experience.
How does this experience make a difference? We identify virtually all molds to the species level, which is crucial for the proper assesment of a mold. We perform a forensic analysis of each sample, which means we determine the history and activity of mold at the site. Our Reports Are Second to None: Our reports are completely understandable and informative and presented to the customer in a format that clearly explains what we have found, which is backed up by research literature, all in lay terms. We deliver our reports to mold and home inspectors through our online reporting site: MyMouldWorks. Once a report has been prepared you receive an email with a link to the report. Each report contains highly detailed analysis of each sample along with links to in-depth descriptions of the molds found. Our Customers Come First: We provide telephone and email follow up for every report to make sure the report is thoroughly understood by the home and mold inspector.
