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.
North Fort Myers home buyers — especially in older Bayshore Road and Pondella corridor sections — routinely pull air samples as part of due diligence. The mobile-home subset of the market has additional manufactured-housing certification considerations.
Our North Fort Myers crew works across the full city — from Manatee Park, Shell Factory, Bayshore Park, US-41 corridor — and we're familiar with how mold testing scope changes between Pine Lakes and Suncoast Estates.
North Fort Myers disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), tropical storm seasons. Pre-purchase testing in this market should account for multi-storm cumulative cavity damage.
If you are under contract on a mobile or manufactured home anywhere in 33903 or 33917 — Pine Lakes Country Club, Tamiami Village, Six Lakes, Old Bridge Village, or the Bayshore Road parks — air and surface sampling before your inspection contingency closes is the single most important data point you'll collect. Manufactured-home cavity construction hides moisture history in places a visual inspection cannot reach, and lenders writing chattel or land-and-home loans now ask for it explicitly on units older than 15 years.
Air sampling with Air-O-Cell spore-trap cassettes tells you what's currently airborne and whether the HVAC is moving spores through the home. Surface tape-lift and swab sampling tell you what's growing on visible patches — staining around supply registers, baseboard at exterior walls, the underside of cabinet kick plates. In a manufactured home we typically run two outdoor controls (upwind front yard, downwind near the belly access if accessible), then interior samples in the master bedroom, kitchen, return-air grille, and any room with prior water history. Swabs go on any visible suspect surface flagged in the buyer's general inspection.
A spore count by itself doesn't tell a buyer what they're walking into. On a North Fort Myers manufactured home we map the moisture profile in parallel — Tramex pin-meter readings at the bottom plate of every exterior wall, the floor seam at every interior partition, and the subfloor under the kitchen sink and laundry hookup. Where pin readings stay above 16% with the home conditioned and dry outside, we note it on the report regardless of what the spore counts show. That's predictive information a buyer can use; the lab numbers alone are just a snapshot of an hour.
Anything coming back from an AIHA-accredited lab should show raw spore counts per cubic meter, ratios against the outdoor control, and genus-level identification — never just "elevated" or "normal." We read the lab data against the home's age, marriage-line construction, prior insurance history if disclosed, and known flood zone. A 1985 Pine Lakes single-wide showing 1,600 Aspergillus/Penicillium spores/m³ in the master with 250 outdoors reads differently than a 2017 Verandah site-build returning the same numbers. We give buyers a plain-language interpretation alongside the raw lab data so the disclosure decision is grounded in context, not panic.
We don't remediate what we test, and we don't test what we remediate. That firewall is why our reports carry weight with the buyer's lender, the seller's attorney, and any future inspector who pulls the file. Lab turnaround is 3-5 business days, faster on a closing crunch, and we'll walk a buyer through the report by phone before they sign off on the contingency — especially important on a manufactured-home purchase where the chattel-loan timeline gives no margin.
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 North Fort Myers mold testing crew dispatches across the full city — from Pine Lakes, Suncoast Estates, Foxmoor, Hancock Creek, Tamiami Village, Old Bridge Village, Pine Island Road corridor, covering ZIP codes 33903, 33917. Sampling locations are chosen based on the building's construction type and prior disaster exposure.
North Fort Myers insurance carriers we work with: Manufactured-home carriers, Citizens, NFIP. 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:
For a manufactured-home purchase in a North Fort Myers 55-plus park, a useful inspection goes beyond the interior walk-through. We pull skirting to inspect the belly board and look for staining or sag indicating trapped moisture, scope the marriage line on double-wides for separation and water tracking, check the ductwork registers for biological growth, and pull AC return covers. Air sampling is taken in the main living area and a chassis-cavity sample if accessible, alongside an outdoor control. The report identifies actionable issues against the seller's disclosure rather than just listing spore counts.
Manufactured homes near the Caloosahatchee corridor typically run higher interior dewpoint than concrete-block-stucco homes because the floor cavity sits closer to grade, the vapor barrier is single-ply polyethylene, and crawl ventilation is limited by skirting. We commonly log interior relative humidity 5 to 10 percent higher than a comparable CBS home in the same neighborhood. Pin moisture readings on bottom plates and around register boots are the most useful diagnostic. A baseline moisture profile during inspection makes it easier to spot future leaks before they become cavity mold problems.
Air-O-Cell cassettes count both viable and non-viable spores, which is what you want for indoor air quality, but raw counts mean little without a baseline. North Fort Myers outdoor air carries elevated Cladosporium, Curvularia, and basidiospores nearly year-round because of the subtropical climate and Caloosahatchee River vegetation. We pull an outdoor control upwind of the home and compare it to interior samples. Indoor counts that exceed outdoor by a meaningful margin, or contain species not present outdoors (Stachybotrys, Chaetomium), indicate an interior amplification source worth investigating.
We work with consultants whose laboratories participate in the AIHA Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation Program, which means the lab analyzing your samples passes proficiency testing twice yearly and follows documented chain-of-custody procedures. In Florida that matters because a contested claim or real-estate dispute will be reviewed against the credentials of whoever analyzed the samples. AIHA-EMLAP results are also accepted by most insurers and attorneys. The on-site assessor must hold a Florida DBPR Mold Assessor license; the lab credential is separate but equally relevant to the report's defensibility.
Yes, testing remains useful on Bayshore Road properties because post-Ian repairs varied widely in quality and many homes were dried under emergency conditions that did not meet S500. We see legacy cavity mold from incomplete drying surface as recurring odor, ceiling staining, or new allergic symptoms. A targeted inspection focuses on the original surge line, areas where drywall was patched rather than replaced, and any spaces where insulation was reused. Air sampling plus a thermal-imaging walk-through usually identifies whether the issue is ongoing moisture intrusion or residual contamination from the 2022 event.
