Our Work
Recent mold testing projects.
Pre-purchase mold inspection, post-remediation clearance, or hidden-mold suspicion? Our lab-certified air and surface sampling delivers third-party-quality results in 3-5 business days. Independent reports — separate from remediation when you need that separation.
If you're buying a home, post-remediation, or have unexplained symptoms, you want a tester who isn't selling the remediation. We offer testing as a standalone service with results delivered as a clear PDF report — spore counts, species ID, and a plain-English summary.
If you're buying a Cape Coral home — especially anything on a canal or built before 2000 — air sampling before closing is now standard practice. Cape Coral's flood/surge history means even homes that didn't flood directly may have absorbed cavity moisture during storms. Independent (non-remediation-affiliated) testing is the right call for purchase contingencies.
Our Cape Coral crew works across the full city — from Cape Coral Yacht Club, Sun Splash Water Park, Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, Cape Coral Bridge, Tarpon Point Marina, Cape Coral Hospital — and we're familiar with how mold testing scope changes between Cape Harbour and Tarpon Point.
Cape Coral disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022 — Cat 4 direct hit), Hurricane Irma (2017), Hurricane Charley (2004), repeated tropical storm flooding. Pre-purchase testing in this market should account for multi-storm cumulative cavity damage.
If you are under contract on a Cape Coral home built before 2020 — especially anything south of Cape Coral Parkway or on a Gulf-access canal in 33904 or 33914 — air and surface sampling before your inspection contingency expires is the smartest 10-day decision you'll make. Independent testing, done by a firm with no financial interest in remediating the result, is the only kind that holds up if the deal goes sideways or the seller pushes back on disclosure.
Air sampling with spore-trap cassettes (Air-O-Cell or equivalent) tells you what's currently airborne and whether the HVAC system is moving spores around. Surface tape-lift or swab sampling tells you what genus is growing on a visible patch. They answer different questions. In Cape Coral we usually run both: two outdoor controls (front yard upwind, back yard at the canal edge if applicable), then interior samples in the master, kitchen, return-air grille, and any room with prior water history. A swab confirms the species on suspect drywall or baseboard staining the buyer's inspector flagged.
Anything from an AIHA-accredited lab in Tarpon Point or Burnt Store should come back with raw spore counts per cubic meter, ratios to outdoor control, and genus-level identification — not just "elevated" or "normal." We read those reports against the home's age and known flood history. A 1986 Yacht Club home that took surge in Ian and shows 1,800 Aspergillus/Penicillium spores/m³ in the master with 220 outdoors is a different conversation than a 2019 Coral Lakes build showing the same numbers. Context decides whether the reading is actionable or just background.
Sandoval, Cape Harbour, and several Burnt Store communities have HOA disclosure requirements that can be triggered by a positive lab result. Citizens Property Insurance binders also ask about mold history on the application — and underwriters in Lee County now cross-reference Ian claim records. We give buyers a plain-language report alongside the raw lab data so they can make a clean disclosure decision rather than a paranoid one. Most Cape Coral homes test fine. The point is to know.
We don't remediate what we test, and we don't test what we remediate. That firewall is the whole reason an independent report carries weight with the buyer's lender, the seller's attorney, and any future inspector who pulls the file. We turn lab data around in 3-5 business days, faster on a closing crunch, and we'll walk a buyer through the report on the phone before they sign off on the contingency.
Air pumps run for 5 minutes per sample. Surface or cavity swabs collected from suspected areas. Indoor-vs-outdoor baseline always pulled.
Samples sent to an AIHA-accredited independent lab. Spore counts and species identification.
3-5 business day turnaround. Clear PDF with results, comparison to outdoor baseline, and remediation recommendations if needed.

Our Cape Coral mold testing crew dispatches across the full city — from Cape Harbour, Tarpon Point, Pelican, Burnt Store, Sandoval, Trafalgar Woods, Hancock Bridge, Yacht Club, Rose Garden, Coral Lakes, covering ZIP codes 33904, 33909, 33914, 33990, 33991, 33993. Sampling locations are chosen based on the building's construction type and prior disaster exposure.
Cape Coral insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Property Insurance, FEMA Flood Zones AE/X/VE, NFIP claims, Florida Peninsula, Tower Hill. We bill direct on most claims and document to adjuster standards from the first call.
Same crew, same standards — we cover the surrounding cities too:
At minimum, request a licensed Florida mold assessor (MRSA license) to perform a visual inspection plus Air-O-Cell spore-trap sampling: one outdoor control, one in the main living area, one in each HVAC zone, and one in any area with prior water history. In 33904 — older Yacht Club and Rose Garden stock — also ask for swab or tape-lift sampling on any suspect surfaces and a borescope inspection of the AC plenum. Samples should go to an AIHA-LAP accredited lab with a 48–72 hour turnaround. The report you want shows raw spore counts per cubic meter and a comparison ratio to outdoor — not just 'pass/fail.'
Florida statute requires sellers to disclose known material defects, and active or remediated mold qualifies. For Sandoval and similar deed-restricted communities, the HOA may also require a clearance letter from a licensed assessor before granting an estoppel for transfer if a prior water claim was filed. We provide a disclosure-ready report that includes the visual inspection narrative, lab results with the AIHA-LAP chain of custody, moisture readings, and any remediation documentation. A vague 'no visible mold' letter usually won't satisfy a careful buyer's agent or a Citizens underwriter doing a post-bind inspection.
Air-O-Cell cassettes capture airborne spores over a measured volume of air (usually 75 liters at 15 L/min for 5 minutes) and tell you what's circulating in the breathing zone. Tape-lift and swab samples capture surface growth and identify what's actually colonizing a specific spot. We use Air-O-Cell to answer 'is the air quality elevated?' — useful for whole-house screening near the Cape Coral Hospital corridor or for tenants reporting symptoms. Tape-lifts answer 'what is this dark spot?' — useful for a single discoloration on baseboard or grout. A defensible report usually pairs both, with an outdoor control taken the same day.
For a 2,000–2,500 sq ft single-family home in 33914 or 33991, a thorough pre-purchase assessment runs $450–$850 depending on sample count. That typically covers visual inspection, moisture mapping, three to five Air-O-Cell cassettes (one outdoor control plus interior samples), and lab fees at an AIHA-LAP accredited facility. Add $40–$75 per swab or tape-lift if surface sampling is needed. Waterfront homes in Cape Harbour or Tarpon Point with multiple HVAC zones and finished boat-house space usually require more samples and land at the higher end. We won't quote a flat 'one-sample' test — that's not defensible data.
Not necessarily. Aspergillus/Penicillium is the most common indoor spore group in Cape Coral because of our 70%+ ambient humidity nine months a year — it grows on dust, drywall paper, and HVAC coils without dramatic water events. The relevant question is the ratio: if your indoor count is significantly higher than the outdoor control taken the same day, that suggests an indoor amplification site. We then look for moisture sources — leaking shower pans, undersized AC, return-air leaks — and recommend targeted investigation before remediation. A single elevated number without a moisture story and an outdoor comparison isn't actionable.
