Our Story

Professional-Grade Mold Testing, Right From Home

Mold problems are stressful, and the traditional path makes them worse. Hiring an inspector is costly, slow, and means letting a stranger into your home. We built Total Testing so any family can get real, accredited-lab answers from a simple sample they collect at home, in minutes and for a fraction of the price.

How to Test for Mold at Home Without a Kit

There is nothing to buy and nothing to wait for in the mail. Total Testing is a DIY at-home mold test that uses a few simple household items you already have.

3 simple items you already own

Collect your sample at home

Cotton Swab

Use a standard cotton swab to wipe the surface or spot you want tested. No special tools needed.

Zip Bag

Seal the used swab inside a small ziplock bag so your sample stays clean and secure on the way to the lab.

Pen or Marker

Write the room or spot on each bag so your lab results map back to the exact area you tested.

Envelope

Place your labeled samples in an envelope, attach the prepaid shipping label, and drop it at FedEx.

We email your prepaid shipping label and step-by-step instructions right after checkout, so you can start the same day.

Our Journey

Professional Mold Testing
Into a DIY At-Home Test

Years of Field Experience

We conducted thousands of professional mold inspections across Texas, learning exactly what homeowners need to know and how to identify mold issues accurately.

Identified the Market Gap

We recognized that families needed professional-grade testing without the professional-grade price tag. The cheap alternatives weren’t just inadequate, they were potentially misleading.

Developed the DIY Process

We created a simple sampling method using cotton swabs that anyone can perform at home. No special equipment, no confusion, with clear step-by-step instructions.

Professional Analysis for All

Every sample is analyzed by an AIHA-accredited laboratory using the same methods and standards applied in professional mold inspections. You receive a clear, detailed report, no shortcuts, no watered-down results.

Clear Results, Real Guidance

We don’t just deliver lab data. We translate your results into plain English and provide practical next steps, so you know exactly what the findings mean and how to act with confidence.

Walk through the full process step by step, from swabbing your first sample to reading your accredited-lab report.
