“Loved working with Pure Maintenance! They are professional, knowledgeable, and will take good care of you. They care about their customers and it shows!”
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.

“These guys are great. I have personally used them on multiple occasions and they always exceed my expectations. Extremely professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend.”
“My husband and I could not be happier with this company! Randy was very knowledgeable about mold and did a thorough inspection of our home. We were impressed with the questions he was asking us, especially the ones concerning our health! It’s so refreshing to find a company that truly cares about their clients and making homes safe/healthy. No sales pitches or pressure - just answered our questions and gave us a lot of helpful info and choices. We feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off of us and now have such peace of mind concerning the safety of our home. We would not hesitate to call them again if future problems arise! This is a company you can trust, and we highly recommend them!”
“Life changing services! We have a preschooler, toddler, and baby. My husband was unable to speak in full sentences in the morning from the brain fog caused by mold. He was going to lose his job and had stroke like symptoms. Because of how well they cleaned the environment his recovery has been amazing. I have a husband whose capable and my kids have their health and father back. They really garentee their work. Pure maintenance helped us treat the house and were so knowledgeable about cirs. Doctors were stumped for years after spending one 10k on medical test and no answers he had gotten so bad I thought I'd be raising sick kids alone. This move wasn't helping he was still reacting to low levels... Once Pure maintenance treated he healed a crazy amount in just a month (we've been on binders for years and testing the environment which was below normal levels for the last year we did have heavy exposure in 2021 the old low wasn't low enough Pure maintenance was the first to finally give us a mold free home) Thanks for giving me a healthy family again!”
“Pure Maintenance did exactly what they said they would do. Their communication was great and showed up on time. They went over and above to make sure the mold was gone with no toxic chemicals and no tear out. I am so happy to have mold free home. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Pure Maintenance of Alabama - A++ all the way! I submitted a request, received a call the same day, and Chad was on-site reviewing my issue the very next day. Chad was professional, knowledgeable, and really listened to my mold concerns. He went above and beyond to investigate my issue. Pure Maintenance of Alabama is truly in the business to remediate mold with the health and welfare of their clients in mind. It was a joy to work with them - one of the best and most honest companies I have worked with in years! Thank you!”
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 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.
