Full Inspection

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

An entire-property mold inspection is the most thorough assessment PureSpec offers. Daniel personally walks every accessible space in the building, interior rooms, attic, accessible HVAC, water-using rooms, and any visible exterior moisture concerns, using moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and on-site instrumentation. Lab-supported sampling is added when conditions warrant.

What is an entire-property mold inspection?

An entire-property mold inspection is the most thorough mold assessment a Florida-licensed inspector offers: a structured walk-through of every accessible interior space, attic, accessible HVAC, water-using rooms, and visible exterior moisture concerns, combined with moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and accredited-laboratory air or surface sampling where conditions warrant. The result is a written report documenting all findings, with photographs, lab data, and clear next steps.

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.
  • 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™ biotoxin testing. An environmental biotoxin dust panel 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.

When you need it

Right scenarios for this service.

  • Buying or selling a Florida property
  • Insurance claim documentation
  • After a major water event (hurricane, plumbing failure, roof leak)
  • Health-driven concerns and unexplained indoor air quality issues
  • Tenant disputes requiring full-property documentation
  • Healthcare provider-referred environmental assessment for CIRS/MCAS

FAQ

Entire-property mold inspection, common questions.

How much does an entire-property mold inspection cost in Florida?

The price depends on the size of the property and how much laboratory sampling the findings call for. An entire-property inspection with PureSpec includes three accredited-laboratory samples in the base fee, with additional air, surface, or wall-cavity samples available when conditions warrant. Call (321) 324-7756 for a written quote before anything is scheduled; there are no surprise charges at the door.

How long does a full mold inspection take?

Most single-family entire-property inspections take roughly two to three hours on site, depending on square footage, attic and crawl-space access, and how many areas need moisture mapping or thermal imaging. Larger or multi-story homes take longer. Laboratory results follow separately, and your written report is delivered within 24 hours of the lab returning data.

What is the difference between a mold inspection and mold testing?

A mold inspection is the full investigation, a visual assessment, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and HVAC and attic evaluation, that finds where moisture and growth are and why. Mold testing is just the laboratory sampling step. An entire-property inspection includes both. If you only need lab numbers, see environmental mold testing, or read mold inspection vs. mold testing.

Do I need a whole-property inspection or just one room?

If you already know exactly where the concern is, one bathroom, one ceiling stain, a single water-loss area, a limited-scope mold inspection may be all you need. Choose the entire-property inspection when the problem is unexplained, you are buying or selling, an insurer or attorney needs full documentation, or health symptoms have no obvious source.

Does the inspection include laboratory testing?

Yes. Three accredited-laboratory samples are included in the base fee, collected where visual and moisture findings indicate they are useful. Samples ship under chain of custody to an AIHA-LAP accredited third-party laboratory. Because PureSpec performs assessment only and never remediation, there is no incentive to over-sample or over-find.

How soon will I get the inspection report?

Your written report is delivered within 24 hours of the laboratory returning results. It documents every finding in plain English with photographs, instrumentation data, moisture readings, lab analysis, and clear next steps, formatted so it holds up for insurers, lenders, healthcare providers, and real-estate transactions.

How an inspection actually works

Nine steps. Same scientific process, every property.

The depth of each step adapts to your situation. HVAC 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

    Visual inspection

    Daniel personally walks every accessible space. No subcontractors.

  3. 03

    Moisture mapping

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

  4. 04

    Thermal imaging

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

  5. 05

    HVAC evaluation

    Coil, plenum, return, and ductwork assessment. The #1 hidden vector for indoor mold in Florida buildings.

  6. 06

    Targeted sampling

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

  7. 07

    Lab analysis

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

  8. 08

    Written report

    Plain-English report with photos, lab data, moisture readings, observations, and clear next steps. Built to hold up with insurers, lenders, healthcare providers, and counsel.

  9. 09

    Remediation protocol when warranted

    If the report identifies remediation-grade mold, Daniel writes the IICRC S520-aligned remediation protocol, scope, containment, methods, and clearance criteria, that the remediation contractor works to. Florida law prohibits the same firm from inspecting and remediating, so the protocol stays independent of the work crew.
