“Wow! Me and my husband were blown away with Pure Air. Randy was VERY knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. He really cared about our situation and it showed! Highly recommend this company for anyone with even a suspicion of mold.”
You can tell something is off in the house, but you don’t know how bad it actually is. A walk-through inspection can spot visible mold and track down the moisture feeding it, but it can’t tell you which species you’re dealing with or whether the spore count in your air is high enough to be affecting your family’s health. That’s what professional sampling is for. We pull real samples from your Birmingham home, send them to an independent lab, and hand you the actual numbers.

“Wow! Me and my husband were blown away with Pure Air. Randy was VERY knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. He really cared about our situation and it showed! Highly recommend this company for anyone with even a suspicion of mold.”
“Jack came out and immediately found the mold we had been suspecting for awhile. My husband was suffering from brain fog and headaches. My son had been to the ER multiple times last year because of breathing issues. Since getting the mold removed my son and husband’s issues have disappeared. I was shocked at the difference in the air sampling from before and after.”
“Scott Kennemer came to our home and sat down and explained the entire process to us. Next Ry and Dee came out and explained everything they would be doing for the day. Our situation is a 100% better — the pulmonary doctor is amazed at how much better my husband can breathe. I can’t say enough good things about this company and the employees!”
“Pure Air of Alabama came to the rescue. Ri the tech did an awesome job — I slept in my room after treatment for the first time in 2 weeks. Mold gone, breathing good, no musty smell anymore. I would use Pure Air again and again.”
“Great company! I reported a possible mold problem around 11:00 in the morning and had the room cleaned before 7:00 that night. I know that is not always going to be possible, but we had a problem that needed attention asap and they made it happen.”
“From the 1st phone call to the final visit, everything could not have gone any smoother. A gentleman came to my house for a site visit — he was transparent and made me feel comfortable with the process. Dee was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this company!”
Sampling is the right call when you need real data instead of a best guess. If your doctor wants to know what mold you’re being exposed to, lab results give them the species ID they need to guide treatment. If you’re in the middle of a home sale in Birmingham and either side wants documented proof of conditions, a certified lab report carries weight that a visual check never will. If another company already treated your house and you’re not sure the job was clean, sampling tells you whether the spore counts are actually back to normal. Landlords and property managers use it to settle tenant complaints with hard evidence instead of he-said-she-said. And if you just want real numbers before spending money on remediation, this is how you get them.
We mainly use two methods. Air sampling pulls a measured volume of air onto a collection cassette that goes straight to an independent, accredited lab for spore identification and counting. We take indoor samples from whichever rooms concern you and at least one outdoor control sample so the lab can compare your inside levels against the natural outdoor baseline here in central Alabama. That comparison is what tells you whether you have a real mold problem or just normal background spores. Surface sampling uses swabs, tape lifts, or bulk material from areas where growth is visible or suspected, and the lab identifies the species on that surface, which matters a lot when something like Stachybotrys might be in the picture. Every sample follows proper chain-of-custody protocol, and you get the full lab report, not our interpretation of it.
Cost comes down to the number of samples you need, and that depends on the size of the property and how many areas we’re assessing. A single room with one indoor air sample and one outdoor control is far cheaper than a full home job with samples pulled from multiple rooms, the attic, and the crawl space. Lab fees are part of the total, and we tell you what they are before we start. You’ll get a clear quote upfront, no hidden charges, and no surprises when the invoice shows up.
Sampling is science, and we treat it that way. We follow established industry protocols, our samples go to independent certified labs, and you see the actual data instead of a repackaged summary. That independence matters. When the same company does the sampling and the remediation, the results tend to get read through a sales lens, and we refuse to work that way. We’re local to the Birmingham area, we offer same-day service when we can fit you in, and our work is satisfaction guaranteed. If the numbers show a problem, we’ll walk you through your options, including our VaPURE treatment. If they come back normal, we tell you that and you get on with your day.
