Mold Testing Jacksonville FL

Superior Inspections offers several types of mold inspections designed to evaluate both visible mold growth and airborne mold spores.

Visual Mold Inspection

During the inspection, the home is visually evaluated for signs of moisture damage, water intrusion, or visible mold growth. Areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, crawlspaces, and attics are common locations where mold may develop.

If visible mold is identified during the inspection, it will be documented in the inspection report and additional testing may be recommended.

Surface Swab Testing

A swab test is used to collect a sample from a visible mold growth area. The sample is sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis to determine the species of mold present.

Surface testing helps identify whether the mold present may require professional remediation.

Air Quality Mold Testing

Air sampling is used to determine whether mold spores are present in the indoor air of the home.

During this test, inspectors collect air samples from both the interior and exterior of the home. The samples are analyzed and compared to determine whether mold levels inside the home are elevated compared to outdoor conditions.

Air quality testing is one of the most common forms of mold testing Jacksonville FL homeowners request, especially when investigating indoor air quality concerns.

HVAC Duct Mold Testing

In some cases, mold spores may circulate through a home’s HVAC system. An HVAC duct mold test can help determine whether mold spores are present inside the air ducts and whether those levels may be elevated.

Because HVAC systems circulate air throughout the entire home, duct testing can be useful when investigating potential mold sources.
