Description
Wall cavities, a common place for mold growth, can be sampled using the non-destructive Wall Inspector Kit. Unlike destructive methods such as core sampling that can also release fungal spores into indoor air, the Wall Inspector Kit requires only a 3/8-inch hole in the base of a wall and greatly reduces the chance of fungal spore contamination of indoor air during sampling. The Wall Inspector Kit includes VersaTrap Cassettes, VersaTrap Wall Adapters, and other items needed for non-destructive sampling in wall cavities. The kit is used with a sample pump capable of drawing air at a flow rate of 15 L/min for short sampling times up to two minutes. When used correctly, the Wall Inspector Kit reliably samples fungal growth within wall cavities for microscopic analysis.

Using the Wall Inspector Kit
The Wall Inspector Kit is simple to use. Locate the sample wall, drill a small hole in an inconspicuous area with the provided drill and bit, and insert the VersaTrap Wall Adapter into the hole. Connect a provided VersaTrap Cassette to a sample pump capable of providing a 15 L/min airflow, such as the QuickTake 30, and sample for approximately two minutes. Seal the cassette and send to a laboratory for analysis.

Hidden Mold Problems
Several agencies have determined that mold growth indoors can cause detrimental health effects. Wall cavities are common sites for toxigenic and allergenic fungi growth. Mold spores can emit from any wall opening, even electrical outlets, or be moved throughout a building via the ventilation system. Mold spore release is so insidious that regular air sampling of ambient indoor air may not detect an active problem because spores settle into carpeting and other materials in a building. These spores remain settled until human activity re-aerosolizes them causing exposure.
