Sarasota Mold Removal

Mold Testing in Sarasota

If you think you may have mold in your home or business and may require a mold test, FP Property Restoration can send out an IICRC-certified mold damage contractor to do an initial inspection using thermal cameras, moisture meters, and years of experience to see if there is a possibility that mold exists. From there, our Sarasota mold inspection team may recommend indoor air quality testing to be conducted by a separate, licensed mold assessor. Those air quality tests are sent to a third-party laboratory to determine the presence and type of mold.

Florida has very specific mold-related laws. These laws eliminate any conflicts of interest. The laws that govern mold-related work in Sarasota County and all of Florida state that the contractor who performs mold remediation work cannot also be the contractor who performs any pre- or post-remediation testing. For this reason, FP Property Restoration uses independent third-party, licensed mold assessors during the entirety of all mold projects.

A mold assessment company in Florida must hold a state license to legally test for mold.
This mold test may include:

• Air quality testing
• Tape testing
• Swab testing

These tests will be used to produce a mold protocol. A mold protocol is a written document that includes the testing results, as well as pictures and outlines of the extent of mold damage and the steps needed to remediate the mold from the Sarasota property. Most insurance carriers require a mold protocol with any mold-related claim.

Steps of a Mold Inspection

A professional mold inspection is crucial to ensuring the safety and air quality of your home or business, especially in areas prone to humidity, like Sarasota. Mold growth can lead to health issues and structural damage, so it’s important to have a thorough inspection if you suspect a problem. The process involves several key steps to identify, assess, and address mold growth effectively.

Here are the common steps involved in a mold inspection:

• Visual Inspection: The inspector will start by examining your property for any visible signs of mold growth, water damage, or moisture-prone areas that could harbor mold.
• Moisture Measurement: Since mold thrives in damp conditions, the inspector will use moisture meters or infrared cameras to identify areas with high moisture levels, even if mold isn’t visible.
• Air Sampling: To assess the air quality, samples are taken to detect mold spores that may be present. This helps determine the extent of mold contamination in your indoor environment.
• Surface Sampling: If mold is found, the inspector may collect samples from walls, floors, or other surfaces to identify the specific type of mold and its concentration.
• Detailed Report: After the inspection, the inspector will provide a detailed report outlining the findings, including mold types, areas of contamination, and recommended remediation steps.
