Independent IEP documentation your claim package will stand on.

Pipe burst, appliance failure, roof leak, slab leak, the dry-out is underway and you need third-party documentation of moisture, secondary microbial conditions, and the scope of materials affected. Mobilization within 24-48 hours; documentation suitable for the claim file the same day as the visit.

Carrier asserts the damage pre-dated coverage, was caused by neglect, or falls under mold exclusion. Independent IEP assessment quantifies microbial age, source, and scope, defensible documentation for appeal, public-adjuster representation, or attorney handoff.

Florida hurricane and flood claims routinely require third-party microbial assessment, especially when dry-out timing was delayed. Thermal imaging maps hidden moisture, sampling identifies water-damage indicator species, written report ties findings to the claim event. Statewide mobilization.

Remediation contractor finished work, carrier needs independent verification before releasing payment or closing the claim. Post-Remediation Verification (PRV) per IICRC S520: visual, moisture, and microbial assessment with pass/fail verdict and written justification. PRV service details.

Policy has a mold coverage cap (commonly $10K-$50K in Florida). IEP assessment quantifies the affected scope so the carrier and insured can negotiate accurately against the cap. Defensible documentation if the rider is later disputed.

Public adjusters regularly refer to PureSpec for independent IEP documentation that strengthens the insured’s position. Reports written for adjuster handoff, clear scope, photographic evidence, accredited-lab data, and remediation protocol when appropriate.

Accredited-lab partners using methods appropriate to the question being asked: direct microscopy and culture for visible growth ID; spore-trap analysis for air samples; qPCR (ERMI/HERTSMI-2) for cumulative dust assessment; LC-MS/MS for mycotoxin quantification; LAL for endotoxin; TD-GC/MS for VOC. Chain-of-custody documentation accompanies every sample. Lab accreditation paperwork available on request.

Reports are written for defensibility: license + credentials cited, methodology described, sampling rationale documented, lab results attached with accreditation paperwork, photos timestamped and location-tagged, recommendations tied to specific findings. Daniel is available for written rebuttal of carrier counter-reports and for deposition with reasonable notice.

Yes. Mold remediation protocol development is a standard service. The protocol is tied to actual conditions found on-site and provides the contractor with specific work scope, containment requirements, engineering controls, and clearance criteria. Service details.
