O2 Mold Testing Introduces Standardized Retesting Criteria After Repairs

O2 Mold Testing announced the rollout of standardized retesting criteria designed to help homeowners, condo residents, property managers, and small office operators decide when post-repair mold retesting makes sense and what a consistent retest should include. The criteria are intended to reduce guesswork after common repairs such as leak fixes, material replacement, or humidity control upgrades, while keeping expectations clear about what testing can and cannot confirm.

"Transparency, simplicity, and precision," said Luther Litchfield, mold inspection and testing expert at O2 Mold Testing. Litchfield added that consistency is as much about communication as it is about process, citing "diligence, precision, and a passion for safeguarding the health and well-being of his clients."

What is being launched? A standardized set of retesting criteria after repairs, applied nationwide across O2 Mold Testing locations. The criteria define when a retest is appropriate, the scope of a follow-up, and the documentation clients should expect.

Retesting is most useful after a meaningful change in conditions, such as a repaired roof or plumbing leak, completed drying and stabilization, removal or replacement of affected materials, or ventilation and dehumidification updates intended to control humidity. Retesting may be premature if moisture is still present, repairs are ongoing, or the goal is to "prove a building is mold-free" - a claim testing cannot support in absolute terms.

The approach is built around repeatability and documentation. When an initial inspection exists, the retest references the original notes and sampling logic to support comparability. The follow-up visit then documents repair completion indicators, records current conditions, and uses a defined sampling plan when sampling is selected. The deliverable is a clear post-repair verification file that summarizes what changed, what was inspected, what was tested (if applicable), and the limits of conclusions.

The criteria can be used for post-repair verification even if repairs or remediation were performed by other contractors, since O2 Mold Testing focuses on inspection and testing, not repair work.
