newbie needs testing advice

[Guest guest]

Hi all

This is my first time on the list. I checked the files but did not see anything

on this...I want

to find the cheapest most reliable method of testing for mold. I found some test

kits

through the Environmental Health Center in Dallas

(www.aehf.com/catalog/index.php?

cPath=96 & osCsid=e99900e22b1a264ab6b609938d3d9305) and also a local company

(Quantum) that can come out today to do the testing. They charge a minimum of

$300

and they use an air pump to take a 5 minute sample for airborne mold. Results

take 7-10

days. The mail-in kits from Dallas are for 30 minute open air samples and

results take 4-6

weeks and only costs $100.

Just wondering if anyone has had positive or negative experiences with testing

that could

help me decide which way to go.

Thank you!!
