What your report looks like
Every report follows the same clear format. This is an illustrative example, not a real customer’s results.
| Outdoor control | 640 sp/m³ | Baseline |
| Living room | 410 sp/m³ | Normal |
| Basement | 3,900 sp/m³ | Elevated |
Illustrative example only, not a real customer’s results. Your report compares each indoor sample with the outdoor control.
| Property | 123 Example Ave, Anytown, USA |
| Visit | Example date · 10:00 am · 78°F, 62% RH outdoors |
| Reason for test | Musty smell in basement after a water heater leak |
Summary
The basement sample was elevated compared with the outdoor control, with the same spore types dominant. The living room sample was normal. Moisture readings were high on the basement wall next to the water heater.
Results
| Location | Total spores | Result |
| Outdoor control | 640 sp/m³ | Baseline |
| Living room | 410 sp/m³ | Normal |
| Basement | 3,900 sp/m³ | Elevated |
What this means
Indoor levels well above the outdoor control, with different or concentrated spore types, suggest an indoor source. Here, the likely source is the damp wall near the leak.
Suggested next steps
- Fix the moisture source first (the leak).
- Get remediation quotes for the affected basement area, and share this report with each contractor.
- Consider a follow-up test after work is done to confirm levels are back to normal.
