Our Certified Air Quality Testing Services
Professional mold, asbestos, and lead & VOC testing. Starting from $150 per test. Results in 48 hours
Mold Testing
Mold spores are invisible and odorless — but their effects aren’t. Our certified mold inspectors collect air and surface samples in every room, test them at an accredited lab, and deliver a clear, actionable report.
- Air sampling and surface swab collection
- Accredited laboratory analysis
- Full written report with remediation guidance
- Pre- and post-remediation testing available
Asbestos Testing
Asbestos fibers are the leading cause of mesothelioma. Any Michigan home built before 1980 may contain asbestos in insulation, floor tiles, or drywall. Our certified inspectors collect samples safely — without disturbing the material.
- Bulk material sampling (insulation, tiles, drywall)
- PLM and TEM laboratory analysis
- EPA and OSHA compliant procedures
- PCM air monitoring also available
Lead And VOC Testing
Lead paint was banned in 1978 but remains in millions of older Michigan homes. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from paints, adhesives, and cleaning products silently degrade indoor air quality. We test for both in a single visit.
- Lead paint chip and dust sampling
- XRF lead screening option (non-destructive)
- Full VOC panel: formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, and more
- Ideal for rental property compliance and renovations

Why West Michigan Families Choose Lakeshore Air Testing !
Lakeshore Air Testing is dedicated to creating a healthy and safe indoor environment in West Michigan. From thorough testing to expert cleaning and repairs, we ensure your indoor space is protected every step of the way. Here are the key features of our service
Independent Testing — We Don’t Do Remediation
Some companies test and remediate. We don’t. Lakeshore is a testing-only company, which means we have zero financial incentive to find problems that aren’t there. Our results are unbiased. If remediation is needed, we’ll refer you to vetted, independent contractors — not our sister company.
48-Hour Results — Not 2 Weeks
Most labs take 7–14 days to return results. We use regional accredited labs with 48-hour turnaround times because we know you’re waiting on results before closing on a house, before a contractor starts work, or because a family member’s health is a concern. Speed matters
Clear Reports Anyone Can Understand
Lab reports are written for scientists. Ours are written for you. Every Lakeshore report includes a plain-English summary on page one that tells you: what we found, what it means for your family’s health, and exactly what to do next. No decoding required.
Locally Based, Not a National Franchised
We’re a West Michigan company. Our inspectors grew up here, they’re your neighbors, and they understand the specific air quality challenges of Michigan’s climate — the humidity, the older housing stock, the flooding. When you call, you speak with the inspector, not a call center.

Most residential tests take between 1 and 2 hours on-site. The inspector collects samples, documents conditions, and answers your questions during the visit. Lab analysis then takes 48 hours, after which you receive your written report. So from booking to report, most clients have their results within 3 to 4 business days.
Any home built before 1980 should be tested before renovation, remodeling, or demolition work. Michigan law and federal EPA regulations require asbestos inspection before any renovation that disturbs building materials in older structures. It is also strongly recommended during home sales and for insurance purposes. Even if you have no plans to renovate, testing provides peace of mind and a baseline record for future work.
Our standard mold test includes: an initial visual inspection of the property, air cassette sampling in living areas and the basement or crawlspace, an outdoor baseline air sample for comparison, and in some cases surface swab or tape-lift samples if visible growth is present. All samples go to an AIHA-accredited lab. Your report includes total spore counts, species identification, comparison to outdoor baseline levels, and a written interpretation of what the numbers mean for your family.
Yes, for most tests you are welcome to remain in the home. Some specific test types (such as certain VOC tests) may ask you to vacate a specific room during sampling to avoid contaminating the air sample with your own breath. Your inspector will brief you on this before the visit. Children and pets can generally stay home.
In Michigan, absolutely. The state has a large supply of pre-1980 homes with potential asbestos and lead paint, and high humidity that creates ideal conditions for mold growth in basements and crawlspaces. A mold, asbestos, or lead test before purchase gives you negotiating leverage, protects your family from long-term health risks, and can void a purchase agreement if hazardous conditions are found above legal thresholds.
A mold inspection is a visual survey — an inspector walks the property looking for visible mold growth, moisture damage, and conditions that support mold. Mold testing adds laboratory analysis of air or surface samples to identify mold species and quantify spore concentrations. Testing is more accurate because mold hides in walls, HVAC ducts, and under flooring where it is not visible. We provide both visual inspection and certified laboratory testing in every standard mold assessment.

Yes. We serve residential homeowners, real estate agents, property managers, landlords, commercial building owners, and contractors. Landlord testing is increasingly important in Michigan — many municipalities are beginning to require documented air quality testing for rental properties. We offer discounted multi-unit testing packages for landlords with multiple properties. Call us to discuss your specific needs.
