Nobody Knows Mold Like Super Green Air Control
At Super Green Air Control in Florida , our inspectors, consultants, and project managers are all certified to test for mold. It’s necessary to employ the services of qualified and accredited mold inspectors or mold assessors to protect your liability, property and safety.
As professional inspectors in Florida , our mold inspection scope includes detailed knowledge of HVAC systems, roofs, exterior structures, and plumbing systems.

When mold is detected, our certified mold inspector will try to detect the moisture that causes the mold and discuss a remediation plan with the household owner.
When To Check For Mold In Your Home
Mold grows everywhere in Florida, and indoor mold growth is most frequently visible and obvious to everyone but often there is mold growing behind walls and in hidden cavities like ductwork that is not openly visible. Finding mold in cracks and corners of your walls probably means more spores are growing and spreading.
According to Medical News Today, there are over 300,000 known types of mold. Mold can also survive and thrive in places you can’t see and can also create colonies that are so small they evade the eye. It takes 24 to 38 hours for molds to germinate and grow under ideal conditions (optimal temperature and moisture level). The spores generally start colonizing in 3 to 12 days, and are seen in approximately 18-21 days. We recommend scheduling an inspection in the following situations:
- Buying a new home. There’s no way to say exactly what type of water damage could have happened in the house you plan to buy. A mold inspection is the only way to find out if mold is present.
- Returning to an unoccupied building. Humidity may have accumulated inside a house when it was locked and left unoccupied for months to years. In warmer areas with high humidity, in particular, this is a problem.
- Experiencing health symptoms. If you have an allergy-like runny nose, sneezing, or eye irritation in a certain space or house, there may be mold in that area.
- Recovering from water damage. You need to inspect for mold , the roof leaked, or water dripped in any part of the house through a broken pipe. Any spot that was wet and not dried (within 24 to 48 hours) may become contaminated by mold.
- Following a mold removal/remediation. If you’ve taken the sometimes costly and difficult steps to deal with a mold problem, post-remediation inspections verification to make sure all of the mold was removed.
Health-Related Warning Signs of Mold
Mold may be unpleasant or dangerous, especially for someone with respiratory issues. That is why it is better to leave bigger contaminations to mold inspection professionals in Florida with the right safety gear and cleaning equipment. Here are some health signs that you made have a mold problem:
- Sore, itchy throat
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Sinus headaches
- Congestion and runny nose
- Wheezing and difficulty breathing
- Irritated, itchy skin
Mold Inspection vs. Mold Testing
The molds inspection simply identifies the presence of mold and defines the extent of the problem while mold testing tries to determine which specific mold type is in your home and how many spores are in the air. Even indoor spaces have mold spores coming from the outside, and mold tests are usually a long list of species, most of which are not developing inside the home.
With our air quality testing, tape and swab sampling, we take samples for the presence of mold from either the air or the home’s physical locations. Once the samples are taken, they’ll be sent for analysis to a laboratory. Testing ensures the regulated conditions necessary for performing a proper scientific mold test.
Our Mold Inspection Process & Timeframe
We are able to rapidly respond to your request for a mold inspection either the same day or within 24 hours of receiving your call. The inspection itself lasts around an hour or so from start to finish. Our process includes:
- A visual inspection of your home or building.
- A discussion with you about places where mold has been found and where moisture or water problems in the past have occurred. This includes an assessment of the property‘s history and documented mold or moisture issues.
- A thorough inspection of the areas including inaccessible areas such as behind drywall and in your HVAC ducts if mold is suspected. We check for leaks and water damage by the water host connections in kitchens and bathrooms.
- A detection of the moisture that causes the mold including direct humidity testing of suspect building materials, windows, doors, plumbing equipment and other possible water intrusion areas.
- Collecting samples of mold to be sent for testing and analysis as well as Indoor air quality evaluation and testing.
Next Steps After Your Mold Inspection
After you receive your comprehensive mold inspection and testing report, we will guide you on the next steps to remove and remediate the mold detected.
