How an inspection actually works

Twelve steps. Same scientific process, every property.

The depth of each step adapts to your situation. Tracer smoke testing and borescope inspection happen when conditions warrant. Sampling is decided based on what your specific environment is asking, not a fixed checklist.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We talk through what you’re seeing, the building, and the question you need answered. Free, no pressure, no upsell.

  2. 02

    Humidity and dew point

    Temperature, relative humidity and dew point are recorded room by room, with an outdoor reference, because a surface colder than the dew point collects water without any leak.

  3. 03

    Indoor air quality screening

    Real-time particle counts across size channels, with on-site carbon dioxide, VOC and formaldehyde screening, room by room. Screening, not laboratory analysis.

  4. 04

    Comprehensive HVAC evaluation

    Each air handler is opened and checked: blower compartment, coil, drain pan, supply and return plenums, filter, and the attic duct runs it feeds. A frequent hidden source of indoor mold in Florida buildings.

  5. 05

    Tracer smoke testing when needed

    Smoke makes local air movement visible at the HVAC system and around penetrations and openings; temperature, humidity and surface-temperature readings help evaluate whether condensation is possible.

  6. 06

    Mold visual inspection

    Daniel personally walks every accessible space. No subcontractors.

  7. 07

    Thermal imaging

    Infrared imaging surfaces temperature differentials that often correlate with hidden moisture or insulation gaps.

  8. 08

    Moisture mapping

    Pin and pinless moisture meters identify elevated wall, floor, and substrate moisture invisible to the eye.

  9. 09

    Targeted sampling

    Air, surface, swab, ERMI, HERTSMI-2, mycotoxin, Pathways™, VOC, or formaldehyde, only the tests your situation warrants.

  10. 10

    Lab analysis

    Samples sent to AIHA-LAP-accredited third-party laboratories. Results returned within 24 to 72 hours of receipt.

  11. 11

    Written report

    Plain-English report with photos, lab data, moisture readings, observations, and clear next steps. Organized so the client and relevant third parties can follow the observations, data, methods and basis for the assessment conclusions.

  12. 12

    Remediation protocol when warranted

    If assessment findings support professional remediation, Daniel can write, as an optional add-on quoted separately, the IICRC S520-aligned remediation protocol, scope, containment, methods, and clearance criteria, that the remediation contractor works to. PureSpec does not remediate, so the protocol stays independent of the work crew.
