For real estate professionals
The mold inspector your clients won’t blame you for.
PureSpec Environmental is the independent Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) and Florida State Licensed Mold Inspector that real estate agents across Central Florida call when a transaction needs honest answers, fast, without the alarmist findings, upsells, or vague reports that kill deals or burn your reputation.
Standard coverage includes Orange, Seminole, Lake, Osceola and Polk counties. For properties outside these counties, contact PureSpec for a written quote before booking. Any travel charge is disclosed in your written quote.
Why agents refer to PureSpec
Speed, science, and a report that closes deals instead of killing them.
- 48-hour turnaround on active deals. Expedited scheduling may be available for time-sensitive projects. Contact PureSpec for current availability. The phone goes directly to Daniel, not a call center.
- Independent, assessment-only. PureSpec never performs remediation on properties we inspect. Clients hire a separate contractor for corrective work. PureSpec has no kickback relationships with remediators.
- Microbiologist-led reports: Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, former mold lab analyst, Council-certified Microbial Investigator. Reports interpret findings, not just list them.
- No alarmist language. “Elevated levels” with no context kills deals. We report what is, what it means, and what to do, in plain English your clients understand.
- Statewide coverage: Orlando and Central Florida as the primary market, with statewide Florida projects available based on scope, scheduling, and travel requirements. Same Daniel performing every inspection.
- Direct cell access for agents: pre-listing strategy calls, post-inspection questions, lender follow-up: I’ll pick up.
Common scenarios
When agents call PureSpec.
Pre-listing inspection, find issues before the buyer’s inspector does
Sellers benefit from a clean, third-party mold assessment before listing. If something is found, you have time to remediate and document remediation. If nothing is found, the report becomes a marketing asset: “Independent IEP assessment on file, available on request.” Buyers and their inspectors stop chasing ghosts.
Buyer due diligence, independent assessment on a property under contract
When the general home inspector flags moisture, staining, or visible growth, your buyer needs a licensed IEP to translate that into what it actually is and what to do about it. Most inspections are scheduled within 48 hours, with laboratory analysis of the included samples and a written report your buyer can use to negotiate, walk, or proceed with confidence.
Post-inspection callback, the general inspector flagged “elevated levels”
This is the most common call from agents. A non-IEP general home inspector took an air sample, the lab returned “elevated counts,” and now your buyer is panicking. We re-evaluate with proper context: were the samples taken correctly? What species? Are they water-damage indicators or common indoor flora? Most of the time the deal is salvageable with a proper assessment.
Landlord-client tenant disputes, documented assessment for property managers
If your client is a landlord facing a tenant mold complaint, a documented IEP assessment is the cleanest resolution. We provide independent documentation with photographs, moisture data, sampling rationale when applicable, accredited-laboratory results, and assessment conclusions. Tenant-friendly inspection service.
Post-storm or post-water-event property, before listing or showing
Hurricane, plumbing leak, roof failure, slab leak, the question is whether the dry-out actually worked or whether you’re showing a building with hidden microbial growth. Thermal imaging + moisture mapping + targeted sampling resolves it in one visit. Documentation also protects the seller from future undisclosed-defect claims.
What you and your clients get
A report you’d want to read.
- On-site report construction: Daniel builds the report in real time during the inspection. No paraphrasing, no forgotten details, no “I’ll get back to you next week”.
- Photos with location context: not generic mold-on-drywall stock-style shots, but documented findings tied to specific rooms and conditions.
- Moisture readings and thermal imaging: quantitative, documented.
- Accredited lab analysis when warranted: laboratory results to the resolution the selected method supports, chain-of-custody. Not every inspection needs sampling; when it does, the sampling answers a specific question.
- Plain-language verdict: clean, monitor, remediate, or refer. No alarmist hedging.
- Direct follow-up: your client (or you) can call Daniel directly with questions for as long as the report is referenced.
Quick answers for agents
FAQ.
How fast can you get out for an active deal?
Most Orlando-area inspections scheduled within 48 hours. Expedited scheduling may be available for time-sensitive projects. Contact PureSpec for current availability. Call (321) 324-7756, phone goes directly to Daniel.
What does an inspection cost?
Flat fees disclosed in advance, varying by property size and scope. What drives inspection scope and cost.
Will an inspection blow up our deal?
Honest answer: an inspection finds what it finds. When the assessment finds no actionable condition, the report says so plainly. When there is an issue, we explain exactly what it is and what to do, which usually de-escalates the situation rather than inflating it. Vague “elevated levels” reports from non-IEP inspectors kill more deals than honest IEP reports do.
Do you do remediation too?
No, PureSpec does not inspect and remediate the same property. PureSpec is assessment-only. We can develop a remediation protocol (the scope of work a contractor follows), but the contractor must be independent. We have no kickback or referral-fee relationships with remediation companies.
Service area, where do you travel?
Orlando and Central Florida as the primary market, with statewide Florida projects available based on scope, scheduling, and travel requirements. Most inspections are scheduled within 48 hours. Timing may vary for distant or custom-scope projects.
How do I set up a referral relationship for my brokerage?
Call or email and ask for a brokerage intro. We’ll align on workflow, deliverable format, dedicated contact line, and any documentation your firm wants on file (license, insurance, sample report). Most brokerage relationships set up in one conversation. (321) 324-7756 · Info@purespecenvironmental.com
Important: PureSpec performs environmental assessment and testing only. We do not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice. We do not perform mold remediation. All reports are independent third-party assessments suitable for use in real estate transactions, landlord-tenant matters, and insurance claims.
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.
- 01
Consultation
We talk through what you’re seeing, the building, and the question you need answered. Free, no pressure, no upsell.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 06
Mold visual inspection
Daniel personally walks every accessible space. No subcontractors.
- 07
Thermal imaging
Infrared imaging surfaces temperature differentials that often correlate with hidden moisture or insulation gaps.
- 08
Moisture mapping
Pin and pinless moisture meters identify elevated wall, floor, and substrate moisture invisible to the eye.
- 09
Targeted sampling
Air, surface, swab, ERMI, HERTSMI-2, mycotoxin, Pathways™, VOC, or formaldehyde, only the tests your situation warrants.
- 10
Lab analysis
Samples sent to AIHA-LAP-accredited third-party laboratories. Results returned within 24 to 72 hours of receipt.
- 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
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.
