Mold Testing in Fontana, CA — MoldRx
Vetted Mold Testing Specialists Serving Fontana and the West San Bernardino County
Finding mold isn't always as simple as spotting a dark patch on the wall. In Fontana, where summer temperatures regularly push past 100°F and older homes sit alongside newer developments, mold can hide in places you'd never think to look. Maybe you've noticed a musty smell that won't go away, or someone in your household has developed unexplained allergies. Professional mold testing gives you answers—not guesses—so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
Why Fontana Properties Need Mold Testing
Fontana's semi-arid Mediterranean climate creates a unique set of conditions for mold growth. While the city averages only about 15 inches of rainfall per year, that precipitation arrives almost entirely between November and March. When storms hit, they hit hard—and homes that aren't properly sealed can take on moisture that lingers for weeks in hidden spaces like wall cavities, under flooring, and around HVAC systems.
With a population of approximately 214,000 residents, Fontana has experienced massive growth since its incorporation in 1913. The city's housing stock reflects this evolution: you'll find everything from homes built in the 1940s and 1950s near the historic downtown to sprawling developments constructed in the 2000s and 2010s. Homes from the 1970s through 1990s are particularly common, and many of these properties are now 30-50 years old—right in the window where aging plumbing, deteriorating seals, and outdated ventilation systems start causing moisture problems.
The Inland Empire heat plays a role too. When outdoor temperatures climb into the mid-90s to low 100s during summer months, air conditioning runs constantly. That temperature differential between inside and outside creates condensation opportunities, especially around ductwork and in poorly insulated areas. Add in Fontana's average humidity of around 45-50% (with peaks reaching 60-65% during morning hours in late spring), and you have conditions where mold can establish itself quickly once moisture enters the equation.
Our Mold Testing Process in Fontana
When you schedule mold testing with MoldRx, here's what happens:
-
Initial Assessment — A vetted mold testing specialist arrives at your Fontana property to evaluate the situation. They'll ask about any symptoms you've noticed, water damage history, and areas of concern. This conversation helps focus the testing where it matters most.
-
Sample Collection — Depending on your situation, testing may include air sampling, surface sampling, or both. Air samples capture airborne spore counts throughout your home, while surface samples identify specific mold types growing on materials. Every sample is collected following established protocols to ensure accurate results.
-
Accredited Lab Analysis — Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. This isn't a quick home test kit—it's professional-grade analysis that identifies mold species and quantifies spore concentrations.
-
Results Interpretation — You receive a clear explanation of what the lab found. If mold levels are elevated, you'll understand exactly what type of mold is present, where it's concentrated, and what remediation steps make sense. If levels are normal, you'll have documentation proving your home is clean.
