Hold Your Lab Partner to a Higher Standard
Trust an Independent Lab to Protect Your Business
The mold industry is booming, making it challenging to know who to trust. Because Daane Labs is a third-party, ISO 17025-accredited, mold testing laboratory with no ties to the remediation industry, you can be assured you’re giving clients accurate, unbiased results.
We have nothing to gain or lose by finding mold in a home, and it’s that lack of bias that really matters.

Your reports should be just as professional as you are. With Daane Labs, customized report templates designed to your specs mean you deliver sharp-looking reports that make you and your clients look good. From asbestos and allergens to legionella and lead, we’ve got you covered.
Daane Labs demonstrates the same high level of quality in how we report results, too. We apply the “Healthy Home Standard” to every IAQ test. This colored-coded score — green, orange, red — empowers inspectors and property managers/owners to know exactly how healthy their air is.
