Licensed Mold Assessment for Tampa Bay and Gulf Coast Properties

IET Icon

Indoor Environmental Technologies provides licensed mold assessment and testing for homes and commercial properties across Tampa Bay and the Gulf Coast. Visual inspection, moisture mapping, infrared imaging, and lab-analyzed air and surface sampling identify what's growing, where, and what's feeding it. We Test. We Don't Remediate — so the findings serve your decision, not our next contract.

Why Do You Need Mold Inspection and Testing?

IET Icon

St. Petersburg's humidity keeps building materials damp long after a leak stops, and mold colonizes wall cavities, ducts, and subfloors unseen. Waiting means structural decay, higher repair costs, and spores affecting occupants. Call a professional after water damage, a persistent musty odor, or before closing.

Mold Inspection and Testing Services

IET Icon

Mold inspection and testing identify hidden mold growth through visual inspection, moisture readings, infrared imaging, and lab-analyzed air and surface samples. IET tells you whether mold is present, which species are present, and what moisture source drives it, documented in a written report you can act on.

Visual Mold Inspection

Our assessors examine accessible areas for visible mold growth, water staining, and elevated moisture, using borescopes to reach places a standard home inspection never opens.

Moisture Mapping and Infrared Imaging

Moisture meters, hygrometers, and infrared imaging cameras trace the moisture source behind mold issues, so hidden leaks and condensation get located without cutting into walls.

Air Sampling

Ambient air sampling measures airborne particles per cubic meter and compares indoor readings against outdoor conditions, separating normal background spore levels from indoor mold growth.

Surface and Cavity Sampling

Swab samples, tape lifts, and cavity sampling pull evidence from suspect materials and inside wall cavities, confirming or ruling out contamination that air sampling can miss.

Mold Remediation Protocol

On request, IET writes a remediation protocol specifying containment, removal, cleaning, and moisture repairs. Your chosen remediation contractor performs the work; we never bid on it.

Post-Remediation Verification

After remediation, a clearance test combines visual inspection, moisture assessment, and air and surface sampling to confirm mold was removed and the moisture problem was corrected.

IET’s Five-Step Mold and Moisture Inspection Process

IET Icon

STEP 01

Schedule Your Inspection

Call IET or submit the form with your property address and what you have observed. We review the details, confirm the appointment, and arrive prepared for the conditions you described. Residential and commercial inspections both start with this conversation about your concerns.

STEP 01

STEP 02

Professional Evaluation

Our assessor gathers building history: humidity problems, past leaks, major water events, persistent odors, and occupant symptoms. A visual inspection of accessible areas follows, using moisture meters, hygrometers, borescopes, particle counters, and infrared imaging to locate elevated moisture and mold colonies in walls, ceilings, and HVAC systems.

STEP 02

STEP 03

Mold Testing and Analysis

We collect air and surface samples: ambient air sampling, cavity sampling, swab samples, and tape lifts, chosen by site conditions. Trained analysts use microscopy and culturing to identify species and spore concentrations. Air results are read alongside visual and moisture findings rather than used alone.

STEP 03

STEP 04

Report and Protocol

You receive a written report with photo documentation, floor plans, spore counts, species analysis, and conclusions. We walk you through what the findings mean and which issues to address first. On request, IET writes a remediation protocol your chosen contractor can follow.

STEP 04

STEP 05

Post-Remediation Verification

After your contractor completes remediation, IET performs a Post-Remediation Verification survey, also called a clearance test. Visual inspection, moisture assessment of remediated areas, and air and surface sampling confirm mold was removed and moisture was corrected. The PRV report documents the outcome for future reference.
