Full-property mold inspection, every accessible space, scientifically.

What it covers

What's included?

• Full visual inspection, room by room. Every accessible interior space is examined for visible mold, water staining, and the conditions that let mold grow in the first place.
• Moisture readings on every suspect surface. Drywall, ceilings, floors and floorboards, baseboards, cabinets and under-sink bases, showers and tubs, the kitchen, the laundry, and anywhere water is used, checked with a moisture meter for elevated readings the eye cannot see.
• Thermal (infrared) imaging. A thermal camera reads the surface-temperature differences that betray hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings, around windows, plumbing penetrations, and the roofline, so an active leak is found before it turns into visible damage.
• Real-time airborne particle counting. A calibrated laser particle counter measures airborne particle concentrations across multiple size channels, roughly 0.3 to 10 microns, in real time, room by room. It puts a number on the particulate load in the air on the spot and flags the rooms driving it, so problem areas are pinpointed against a cleaner reference space instead of guessed at.
• On-site indoor air quality screening (carbon dioxide, VOCs, and formaldehyde). A professional indoor air quality meter takes live readings of carbon dioxide, total volatile organic compounds, and formaldehyde during the visit. This is a real-time screening that shows whether levels read normal or elevated. It is not the accredited-laboratory VOC and formaldehyde analysis; when the screening flags elevated levels, that lab test can be collected the same day for documentation.
• HVAC assessment. Accessible coil, plenum, return, and supply components are checked visually and for moisture, since the air handler is where much of Florida’s indoor mold begins.
• Attic inspection where safely accessible. Roof sheathing, insulation, ventilation, and any evidence of past leaks.
• Plain-English written report. Photographs, instrumentation data, moisture readings, laboratory results, and clear next steps, formatted to hold up for insurers, lenders, healthcare providers, and real-estate transactions.

Optional lab testing

Testing you can add.

Three laboratory samples, air, surface, or wall-cavity, are included in the base fee, collected where the findings call for them. When you need more than spore and moisture data, any of these specialty panels can be added, and the cost is quoted up front before we arrive:

• ERMI & HERTSMI-2 dust panels. DNA-based mold analysis scored against water-damaged-building markers, frequently requested for CIRS and MCAS medical documentation.
• Mycotoxin testing. Detects the toxins some molds produce, a different question than how many spores are present.
• Pathways™ testing. Microfiber-swab sampling analyzed for peptide-bond protein, collected to manufacturer protocol.
• VOC & formaldehyde testing. Chemical off-gassing measurements for indoor-air-quality concerns beyond mold.
• Endotoxin testing. Bacterial-marker analysis for water-damaged or agricultural environments.
• Legionella water testing. Sampling of building water systems, cooling towers, potable water, spas, and fountains, for the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease.

Add-on panels: ERMI, HERTSMI-2, mycotoxin, Pathways™, VOC, formaldehyde, endotoxin, and Legionella water testing. Every sample ships under chain of custody to an accredited third-party laboratory.

Screening vs. lab

On-site screening or accredited lab testing?

The included indoor air quality screening reads carbon dioxide, VOCs, and formaldehyde in real time, on site. The accredited-laboratory test quantifies specific compounds for documentation. Here is how they compare:

When you need it

When is this service the right fit?
