★★★★★ South Florida's Top-Rated Home Inspector
Air sampling, lab analysis, and moisture mapping — know what's growing inside your property before it becomes a health hazard or insurance problem.
IAC2-Certified Mold Assessment
South Florida's subtropical climate — with year-round heat, 70–80% outdoor humidity, and frequent storm events — makes it one of the highest-risk mold environments in the United States. Mold can grow behind drywall, inside HVAC systems, under flooring, and in attic spaces completely invisible to the naked eye.
TruView's mold inspection goes beyond a visual check. Our IAC2-certified inspectors collect air samples and surface samples, send them to an accredited laboratory for analysis, and deliver a complete written report that identifies mold species, spore counts, moisture sources, and remediation recommendations.

Complete Assessment
Inspector walks the entire property looking for visible mold growth, water stains, efflorescence, peeling paint, and moisture indicators in every room including attic and garage.
Calibrated air pumps collect samples from interior rooms and a control sample from outside. Lab analysis identifies mold species present and compares indoor vs. outdoor spore counts.
When visible mold or suspect staining is present, surface swab or tape-lift samples are collected and submitted to the lab to confirm species identity and concentration.
Moisture meter readings are taken throughout the property to locate the water source driving any mold growth — because eliminating mold without fixing the moisture source always leads to recurrence.
All samples are processed by an accredited third-party laboratory. Results include mold species names, spore counts, and an interpretation of whether levels are within normal range for South Florida.
Your complete mold assessment report includes lab results, photos of all findings, moisture readings, and specific recommendations for remediation if mold is identified.
Comprehensive Coverage
Calibrated pump samples collected at breathing height in primary living spaces, bedrooms, and any areas of concern. Compared to an outdoor baseline to determine if indoor spore counts are elevated.
Tape-lift or swab samples taken from any visible suspect growth, staining, or discoloration to confirm mold species and inform remediation scope.
Systematic room-by-room inspection for mold growth, water intrusion indicators, efflorescence, condensation patterns, and moisture damage on walls, ceilings, and floors.
Moisture meter readings at high-risk locations — around windows, below sinks, behind appliances, at slab transitions — to find the water source feeding any mold growth.
Air handler, evaporator coil, drain pan, and ductwork inspected for visible mold growth and moisture accumulation. The HVAC system is one of the most common mold distribution points in Florida homes.
Attic inspection for roof leak evidence, inadequate ventilation, and mold on the roof decking — particularly common after storms or in homes with aging or damaged roofing.
Under-sink cabinets, tile grout, caulk lines, exhaust fans, and around toilets and tubs inspected for moisture accumulation and mold growth in high-humidity spaces.
Window frames, sills, and perimeter walls inspected for water intrusion paths — particularly in impact-window installations and older single-pane windows common in pre-2000 South Florida homes.
Accredited third-party lab processes all samples within 24–72 hours. Full written report with lab results, photos, moisture readings, and remediation recommendations delivered as soon as results are returned.

Florida Climate Expertise
Florida's climate creates near-perfect conditions for mold year-round. These are the most common risk factors TruView inspectors encounter across South and Central Florida properties.
South Florida's average outdoor relative humidity ranges from 70–80% year-round. When AC systems are undersized, inefficient, or cycling off overnight, indoor humidity rises above the 60% threshold where mold begins to colonize. Condos with central building systems and individual units that don't run AC continuously are particularly susceptible. Moisture in the wall cavity from humidity alone can sustain mold without any visible leak.
Every storm season brings wind-driven rain into window frames, exterior walls, and roofing systems. Even a small storm can push water behind impact glass into the rough opening, saturating drywall and insulation. This moisture stays trapped behind walls for weeks and — in the absence of a mold inspection — often goes undetected until a musty odor or visible staining appears months later. TruView strongly recommends mold testing after any significant storm event.
Homes and condos adjacent to canals, bays, and intracoastal waterways face elevated humidity from water evaporation and elevated groundwater. Slab moisture intrusion is more common in these locations — moisture wicks through the slab into flooring and lower wall assemblies, creating hidden mold in areas that appear completely dry from the surface.
Florida's air handlers run nearly continuously. Evaporator coils that develop frost, drain pans that accumulate standing water, and flexible ductwork with condensation on the exterior are among the most common mold sources TruView finds in Florida homes. Mold inside the air handler circulates spores throughout the entire home every time the system cycles. Regular mold testing and HVAC maintenance are the most effective preventive measures for Florida property owners.

Learn More →"We added the mold inspection to our home inspection because the house had that musty smell we couldn't explain. TruView found elevated Aspergillus counts in the master bedroom and traced it to a slow AC drain pan overflow behind the drywall. We never would have found it otherwise. Negotiated a $4,000 credit with the seller."
"As a Broward realtor I've seen too many deals fall apart after buyers find mold post-closing. TruView's mold inspection with lab results gives my clients real documentation — not just 'it looks fine.' The turnaround on lab results is fast and the written report is professional enough to share directly with the seller's agent."
"We bought our Palm Beach condo last year and skipped the mold test. Six months in we had serious Stachybotrys in the hall bathroom. This time buying our second property we didn't skip it. TruView's inspector was thorough — checked the HVAC, attic, and under every sink. Clean report. Peace of mind worth every dollar."

After remediation, TruView can perform a post-remediation clearance inspection to verify the work was effective.
Yes. South Florida's year-round heat and humidity (70–80% outdoor RH) makes it one of the highest-risk mold environments in the U.S. Hurricane flooding, aging HVAC systems, plumbing leaks, and poorly sealed windows are the most common entry points for the moisture that drives mold growth in Florida homes and condos.
Yes — especially for older homes, properties with any water damage history, homes with newer drywall repairs, and canal-adjacent or low-lying properties. TruView recommends adding a mold inspection to your standard home inspection for any South Florida purchase.
IAC2 (Indoor Air Quality Certification for Home Inspectors) is an InterNACHI certification for mold and indoor air quality assessment. IAC2-certified inspectors are trained in proper sampling protocols, moisture analysis, and lab result interpretation — not just visual mold identification.
Yes. TruView offers standalone mold inspections for current homeowners, landlords, and buyers who need an independent mold assessment. You do not need to combine it with a home inspection, though combining saves a return trip and often reduces total cost.
