The most common method for testing water for mold is using a kit that includes a testing strip that changes color when it comes into contact with mold spores.
These kits are typically easy to use and can provide quick results; however, they are also prone to false positives. More advanced techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing or microscope analysis, are often necessary to ensure an accurate test result.
Regardless of the method used, accurately detecting mold in water is crucial for protecting your home or building from potential harm caused by this harmful substance.
