He has also been recognized as a Council-Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE # 01952) by the American Council for Accredited Certification or ACAC. Please note that not all mold and indoor air quality testing certifications are alike.

About the Company

We test for mold, iaq, indoor air pollution and contaminates, Chinese drywall, and sick building syndrome issues. When choosing the right mold assessor the value of experience cannot be overstated.

(verification can be made at sunbiz.org). We specialize in Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Miami mold inspections and testing. For larger inspections, we cover all of Florida and the Caribbean. We provide professional-quality mold testing on condos, homes and commercial buildings large and small. Your local inspector performs inspections and mold testing in compliance with the standards of practice set forth by the Indoor Environmental Standards Organization, IICRC and other such organizations.

About The Inspection Process
Phase I
Questionnaire:
Our inspections can be broken down into six basic phases.
One very important step in properly diagnosing a potential mold or indoor air quality problem is always to inquire by phone and in person of any current or past problem conditions, such as but not limited to the following: humidity or condensation problems, moldy odors, past or present roof leaks, plumbing leaks, or any visible mold observed.
Phase II
Visual Inspection:
During the investigation we will do a complete visual inspection of all accessible areas of your Florida home or commercial property, locate potential water penetration and other problem conditions, and search for any visible evidence of mold growth throughout the habitable areas of the property during this Florida mold inspection. If necessary, devices - such as moisture meters (for detecting moisture), hydrometers (for measurement of indoor humidity), borescopes (for viewing inside some sections of walls) and laser thermometers (for checking surface temperatures and the operation of AC units) - may be used during an inspection. Digital photographs may also be taken to document your particular conditions.
Phase III
Sampling:
On some occasions evidence of a problem condition cannot be visually seen, but must be detected instead by taking air samples for analysis. Typically, air samples are taken of the outdoor and indoor air by using a Cyclex Sample, Air-O-Cell's, or Micro 5 Spore traps for spore collecting. This is done to determine if mold spore counts filtered from the indoor air are unusually high in comparison to the mold spore count filtered from the air just outside your property. It also indicates types of mold at the property. This is a typical and basic test that is often done as part of a professional mold inspection routine. Other types of mold sampling may be required, depending on visible conditions, may include but are not limited to the following: viable spore sampling using an Andersen Impactor Plate, mold spore sampling of carpet by utilizing a carpet cassette, surface-lifted samples of actual mold using samples of mold scraped directly from building material surfaces, surface samples obtained with the aid of swabs and/or simple, clear tape and bulk samples taken by cutting away actual small samples of building materials contaminated with mold. Your Florida mold inspector will have at his disposal professional mold inspection tools such as: Borescopes, Cyclex sampler, Andersen Impactor, Air-O-cell spore traps, Micro 5 spore traps, Swabs, Bio tape and more.
Phase IV
Sample Analysis:
It is crucial that a professional trained analyst be used for analysis of any mold or mold spore samples obtained at the property. Test samples collected are analyzed by your inspector who is fully training in mold spore analysis at the famous McCrone Research Institute. A mold inspection report is provided which supplies information on the number of spores per cubic meter of air and the specific types of molds found.
Phase V
Reporting:
What we see will be logged into a laptop computer in order to prepare a written mold inspection report.
A written report of the inspectors findings, including color digital photos, spore levels and types, and the inspectors final conclusions and recommendations will be e-mailed to you as one final comprehensive report. Only when a professional inspector has reported the locations and severity of your mold problem, and cited the reason for, and solutions to the infestation, can you know what you are up against. Occasionally, mold is found that constitutes a problem for you and your family's health and these problems must be dealt with before they get worse.
Phase VI
Remediation Or Mold Clean-Up:
We are certified Florida mold inspectors, our primary business goals are to provide you with mold inspection and testing services as well as advice concerning remediation. If we detect excessive mold in need of professional removal, we can provide you the names of mold remediation specialists in your area.
