Real Estate Mold Inspection in Palm Beach County
A licensed inspection timed to the inspection period, with a report a buyer can use to negotiate and a seller can use to disclose. Independent. We do not remediate.
- Timed to the inspection period
- FL Mold Assessor MRSA2139
- Report a lender, buyer, or listing agent can file
- No cleanup quote attached
Why this call happens during a deal
- The home inspector flagged staining, a musty AC closet, or elevated humidity
- The seller disclosed a prior leak and the buyer wants current conditions, not a story
- A condo HOA wants documentation before a sale or a special assessment fight
- You are listing a house that had water work and you want the file clean before showings
- A prior as-is deal died on mold. You want numbers this time
What a real estate mold inspection includes
- Fit the calendar
Inspection periods in Palm Beach County are short. We schedule around access, occupancy, and the contract clock, including weekends when we can.
- Focus on the deal issues
The rooms the home inspector marked, the AC closet, attic, prior leak areas, and anything the buyer already asked about. This is not a fishing expedition through unrelated closets.
- Moisture map plus photos
What is wet now, what is stained and dry, and what is a cosmetic mark. That distinction is what a negotiation actually uses.
- Samples when the contract needs them
Air or surface testing if the buyer, attorney, or insurer requires lab data. Not automatic.
- A report that can travel
PDF with photos and, if sampled, lab sheets. Written so a listing agent or buyer's agent can send it without a translation meeting.
The front-door job
Most of our real estate calls start as a $200 to $500 inspection during option period. Some of those files end with a credit and a closing. Some turn into a full assessment, sampling, and later post-remediation verification after a seller or a buyer pays for cleanup. The inspection is the door. The report is what the deal actually uses.
Palm Beach County housing that shows up on these jobs: coastal condos with chronic AC drain clogs, 1970s CBS with window leaks, west-county houses with attic duct problems, and older cottages in Lake Worth and Delray with prior unpermitted water work.
Call (561) 407-6800 with the contract deadline.
What agents and buyers should know
- Florida licensed mold assessor, not a home inspector add-on kit
- We do not bid the repair, so the report is not a sales lead for our own crew
- HOA access letters and insurance certificates on request
- Same-day briefing. Written report typically 24-48 hours

Questions people ask before they book
The home inspector already looked at the house. Why a mold inspector?
Home inspectors note stains and humidity. They are not licensed mold assessors in Florida and they do not write a mold protocol or chain-of-custody lab work. If the contract or the lender is going to argue about mold, you want the second report.
Can you inspect before I make an offer?
If the seller allows access, yes. Many buyers wait for the inspection period. Either way, call with the address and the deadline.
What if you find mold during the inspection period?
You get a written scope. The buyer can ask for repair, a credit, or walk, depending on the contract. We do not negotiate the deal. We document the house.
Sellers: should I test before listing?
If you already know about a leak, a failed AC drain, or a prior remediation, a current report is cheaper than a deal that collapses in option period. If the house is dry and you have no history, a listing test is optional.
Do you work with agents directly?
Yes. Send the property address, occupancy, and the inspection deadline. We can bill the buyer or the file as you instruct.
Condos and HOAs?
Common. We work around elevator reservations, access fobs, and association rules in Boca, Boynton, West Palm, and the rest of the county.
