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.
Lehigh Acres home buyers in 1990s-2010s construction routinely pull air samples — the build-quality variability across rapid build-out years is well-known in this market.
Our Lehigh Acres crew works across the full city — from Veterans Park, Lehigh Senior High, Mirror Lakes Golf Club — and we're familiar with how mold testing scope changes between Lehigh North and Lehigh South.
Lehigh Acres disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), repeated freshwater flooding. Pre-purchase testing in this market should account for multi-storm cumulative cavity damage.
A buy-and-hold investor closing on a Lehigh Acres single-family rental - typical price band $260k-$340k off Lee Boulevard or near Mirror Lakes Golf Club - has roughly 10 days under standard contract to clear the inspection contingency. Air sampling and surface testing inside that window is the cheapest insurance on the entire deal. We work directly with portfolio buyers running 6-, 12-, and 20-unit Lehigh Acres scattered-site rental books, and the report format is built for that workflow.
A Lehigh Acres property between tenants is the right window to sample. The HVAC has been running on a static thermostat setting, contents are out, and the spore-trap reading reflects the building envelope without occupant-introduced confounders. We pull two outdoor controls - front yard upwind, back yard at the opposite elevation - then interior samples in the master, the living room near the return-air grille, the kitchen, and any room with prior water history visible on the inspection report. Air-O-Cell cassettes go to an AIHA-accredited lab. Turnaround in 3-5 business days, faster if the contingency is tight.
A current tenant who emails a complaint about a smell or visible staining puts the landlord under Florida Statute 83.51 habitability duty. Independent testing - done by a firm that won't remediate the result - is the only kind that carries weight if the situation goes legal. We sample tenant-occupied, document chain-of-custody, and deliver a report with raw spore counts per cubic meter, genus identification, and ratios to outdoor control. We don't write the remediation scope; we hand the data to the owner and step back. That firewall is the entire point of independent testing.
A 2005-built Lehigh Acres home in 33974 with 1,400 Aspergillus/Penicillium spores/m3 in the master bedroom against 280 outdoors is a different conversation than a 1992-built Buckingham-edge home showing the same numbers. Build vintage, prior water history, and HVAC age all factor in. We read the lab data against the home's specifics and write a plain-language summary alongside the raw counts, so the buyer or the landlord can make a clean disclosure decision instead of a panicked one. Most Lehigh Acres homes test fine. The point is to have the document on file.
We don't remediate what we test, and we don't test what we remediate. That separation is what makes the report carry weight with the buyer's lender, the seller's attorney, the tenant's attorney, and the underwriter at renewal time. For investor clients we run portfolio rate cards, batch sampling across multiple units in a single visit, and deliver consolidated reporting that lines up with quarterly portfolio reviews.
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 Lehigh Acres mold testing crew dispatches across the full city — from Lehigh North, Lehigh South, Country Club, Eastwood, Mirror Lakes, Pinewood, Buckingham (border), covering ZIP codes 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974, 33976. Sampling locations are chosen based on the building's construction type and prior disaster exposure.
Lehigh Acres insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, mixed carrier base; flood insurance important for lower-elevation sections. 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:
All services in Lehigh Acres →For investor portfolios in Lehigh Acres, targeted testing is more practical than blanket testing. Focus on homes built before 2000 in 33972 and 33974, properties with prior roof claims, and any unit where the seller can't produce recent AC service records. We perform a visual moisture and humidity assessment first, then collect Air-O-Cell samples only where indicators suggest a problem. Random testing on a clean-looking 1990s CBS rental near Sunshine Boulevard usually returns ambient Florida levels and wastes budget. Risk-based sampling produces actionable data and keeps your due diligence costs proportional to portfolio size.
Start with a Florida-licensed mold assessor performing a visual inspection, a moisture survey, and Air-O-Cell air sampling. Air-O-Cell cassettes capture spores onto a slide that an AIHA-accredited lab counts and identifies by genus. We collect at minimum one indoor sample per affected area and one outdoor control, because Florida's outdoor spore counts are naturally high and you need the comparison. For a Lehigh tenant complaint under Statute 83.51, this documentation protects you whether the result shows elevated growth requiring remediation or normal levels indicating the issue is something else.
Air-O-Cell is a sampling cassette that draws a measured volume of air across an adhesive slide, trapping airborne spores for microscopic analysis. It's the industry-standard non-viable air sampling method and what nearly every Florida-licensed mold assessor uses on Lehigh Acres jobs. The lab reports spore counts per cubic meter by genus, including Aspergillus/Penicillium, Stachybotrys, Cladosporium, and Curvularia. We pair Air-O-Cell with surface tape lifts when there's visible growth so the lab can confirm the genus and viability. Results from an AIHA-accredited lab carry weight with carriers and in landlord-tenant disputes.
AIHA is the American Industrial Hygiene Association, which accredits environmental microbiology laboratories through its EMLAP program. AIHA accreditation means the lab has documented chain of custody, calibrated equipment, and proficiency-tested analysts. For a Lehigh Acres mold test that might end up in a Lee County small-claims case or a Citizens claim review, AIHA results carry credibility that a non-accredited lab's report doesn't. We send every sample to an AIHA-EMLAP lab and the report shows the accreditation number, the analyst's signature, and the QA chain.
It's becoming more common in the Lehigh rental market, particularly for tenants moving into older CBS homes near Lehigh Senior High where prior moisture events are plausible. A pre-lease Air-O-Cell sample and visual assessment gives both sides a documented baseline. If a mold complaint surfaces six months in, you can compare new sampling to the pre-lease baseline and determine whether something changed during the tenancy. We'll perform the test and provide both parties a copy. The cost is modest relative to a contested 83.51 habitability claim down the line.
