Detect harmful bacterial contamination — protect your clients’ health and help them make informed decisions Bacteria can colonize almost any damp or organic surface inside a property — carpeting, HVAC systems, basements, kitchens, crawlspaces, and areas impacted by leaks or water damage. Many dangerous bacteria are completely invisible to the eye, yet can produce severe health effects including gastrointestinal illness and more. When conditions support microbial growth, bacteria can proliferate rapidly, especially following a flood, plumbing failure, or long-term moisture intrusion. Because there is no reliable way to visually confirm bacterial contamination, laboratory analysis is the only way to provide clients with definitive, science-based answers. By offering bacterial surface sampling through PriorityLab, you give homeowners, buyers, property managers, and restoration clients clear insight into whether a space is safe — or whether cleaning, sanitation, or remediation is required. Why choose PriorityLab for bacteria testing Fast turnaround: samples begin analysis the moment they arrive at the lab and are turned around as quickly as possible. Affordable pricing: cost-effective testing makes it easy for inspectors, remediators, and environmental professionals to package bacterial analysis with mold or moisture inspections. Definitive identification: PriorityLab’s testing identifies bacterial presence so you can determine whether the environment is hygienically safe or potentially hazardous. Trusted scientific expertise: backed by Dr. John D. Shane, PhD, and a diverse team of scientists, using state-of-the-art analysis protocols, ensuring you deliver credible, defensible results to your clients. Clean, easy-to-read reports: designed so you can walk clients through the findings quickly — no technical translation required. How to sell it to your clients Use it as a post-water-damage assurance: anytime an area experiences water intrusion, sewage backup, or extended dampness, bacteria can flourish — testing verifies whether the space is fully safe after cleanup. Position it as a “health risk check”: bacterial contamination may be odorless and invisible; testing removes uncertainty, especially for families with children, elderly occupants, or immune-sensitive individuals. Recommend for real estate transactions: buyers and sellers benefit from knowing whether a property with past leaks, crawlspace moisture, or musty odors may harbor hidden bacterial growth. Bundle with mold or moisture inspections: the same environmental conditions that support mold often support bacteria — offering both tests strengthens your inspection package and increases revenue per job.
