Which tests matter most for a nursery?

Water, indoor air, and mold cover the exposures a baby has the most contact with at home: water for what they drink and bathe in, air for what fills the room, and mold because nurseries are often humid.

Do I need to test if the house is new?

Newer homes can still have lead in water from fixtures, VOCs from fresh materials, and mold from moisture. A test confirms the room rather than assuming age settles it.

How do the kits work?

You collect a simple sample, mail it to a certified lab, and get results with plain-language guidance. No technician visit is required.

Designed to understand your whole house

Our Nestwell Starter Bundle. Mold and lead can be found all around your house, and a single swab answers for a single square foot. Sampling four separate places for each is what turns a handful of readings into a picture of the house you actually live in.

Accredited labs, regulatory methods
Every sample is analyzed by an accredited environmental lab with the same methods regulatory testing uses.
Numbers with regulatory context
Results come back as a measured value next to the standard it is judged against, not just a "detected".
One box, no home visit
Everything arrives at once and we tell you both where and how to sample, no outside home inspection needed.

The tests inside

Understand what we are looking for within your home. Open any one to see exactly what it measures.

How collection works

Your home’s journey tobetter health

Collect
Take a quick sample from your kitchen tap, swab damp spots that look like they may have mold and wipe the dusty areas around your home. No tools, and no unstable samples that must be sent back the same day.
Mail
Everything goes back in the same box with the prepaid return label. No appointment, nobody in your house, and easy to send back when convenient for you.
Read
Results land in your Nestwell dashboard as they clear the lab, each scored against the standard that applies to it.

Where you can test

Contaminants do not spread evenly through a house, so one sample can come back clean twenty feet from a real problem. These are the places this kit is made to test, and what each one tells you.

Water
Dust
Air
Mold

A number is only useful next to its limit.

At Nestwell, we provide science backed ranges for all the exposures in your home, allowing for personalized suggestions of in home remediation.

Accredited labs only
Samples are analysed by accredited environmental laboratories using the analytical methods used for regulatory compliance work: the same reading a professional consultant would order.
Each result has a standard
A number on its own is not an answer. The EPA action level for lead in water is 15 ppb; the CDC states there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. Each finding is shown against the limit that applies to it.
Where there is no limit, we say so
The EPA sets no numeric limit for mold, and moisture control is the real remedy. Mold results are reported as what is growing and at what relative level, never as just a pass or a fail.
