Per current Federal guidelines and FL DBPR regulations, a home or building can be certified mold-safe when:
However, no two homes or buildings are alike, and only licensed mold professionals can discern instrument readings and air sampling variables. In Florida, only a State Licensed Mold Assessor can lawfully issue a Mold/IAQ Clearance, Post-Remedial Verification or remedial protocol, so-please beware: Regardless of IICRC or any other credential, an Unlicensed Mold Vendor at Your Doorstep = Mold Fraud or Scam.
Vacant/Market Ready Sites
Vacant/market-ready sites are generally in good maintenance status, professionally cleaned, and some staged to appeal prospects. Such sites are faster to survey, assessments are mainly for seller’s disclosure or buyer’s documented peace of mind, and unlike our competition, if a site meets clearance, we offer Up to 90 Days Commission Warranties.
If any, mold findings or problem areas are reported, but since the site is vacant, follow-up directives are left entirely to the client’s discretion.
Homeowners & managers are known to pledge commendable housekeeping effort or expense, and even though a site may seem pristine, could still experience indoor microbial growth. Moreover, mold is typically a symptom of another issue in occupied buildings, and various additional factors (i.e. occupant’s activities or lifestyle) must be taken into account when performing an assessment, which is mainly in response to a complaint.
Assessing occupied sites often leads to unforeseen factors that may be detrimental to a site or its occupant’s health, but not caused by the site itself. Aside from source ID and remedial tasks, preventive measures may need to cover grey areas of site maintenance, ventilation, space management or hygiene.
We thoroughly inspect all rooms, attics, plumbing, floors, crawl spaces and roofs to ensure the highest quality assessment.
We inspect HVAC systems, measure airflow & ambient conditions to evaluate a key factor, the subject site’s ventilation overall health.
We also perform infrared scans throughout the site to identify possible hidden moisture, insulation voids or other problem areas not visible to the naked eye.
And then conduct indoor air quality sampling to fully understand the property’s environmental condition to provide accurate clearance or recommendations.
Based on the site’s assessment results, we issue strictly unbiased, non-verbose, clear and concise Mold/IAQ Condition reports that are suitable for remediators scope of work guidance or lawful litigation or insurance claim supporting documentation.
If no microbial growth, moisture issues or IAQ anomalies are found, Mold/IAQ Clearance Certifications are issued and attached to our assessment reports for documented peace of mind.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then an assessment may be justified.
Our standard or basic Mold/IAQ assessments range from $350.00 to $900.00, pricing is based on property size & status (we assess a typical 1,000 S.F. vacant site for $395.00). All assessments include sampling as required, and laboratory analysis results turnaround is 48 hours.
We provide custom mold and moisture intrusion insurance claims, construction or structural defects litigation assessments. These include aerial roof inspections, comprehensive affected areas architectural drawings, professional video and photography, quantitative thermal imaging, thorough environmental testing, structural probing and meticulous personal property mold or water damage cataloging per your law firm or public insurance adjuster’s directive only.
We are fully licensed to perform both, mold assessment and mold remediation. FL DBPR regulations dictate that offering both services to the same client is a conflict of interest, and we totally agree.
We have no financial interest in the outcome of our mold or IAQ assessments, for which do not include remedial cost estimates or third party vendor referrals.
