This tool allows you to test air spaces where it is impossible to reach without demolish the walls. A mold inspection will reveal hidden moisture. To sample the air, we can drill a small hole in the wall and insert a tube. The laboratory will take the sample for analysis. All spores found will be listed along with their respective amounts. The property owner will need to approve this test because it is quite invasive.
Elite Mold Services is our sister company and can provide more information and pricing if you feel that you require a mold assessment. To help you understand CFBI's services better, we have listed them below.
Based on the inspection, if visible mold is found or other red flags are identified, we will make suggestions for sampling or recommendations for mold remediation. Florida has licensing for remediation. This applies to projects that are over 8-15 square meters. A licensed professional would be required for any project that involves more than 8-15 sq. ft.
A moisture inspection is a visual inspection of the entire property looking for signs of hidden mold problems or mold growth. It also includes a moisture inspection using our radio-wave moisture meters. This is done in any areas where there is high moisture. We will inspect the HVAC system and ductwork for any signs of microbial growth. The Thermal Imaging Camera will be used to detect active moisture that isn't visible to the naked eye.

Can a Dehumidifier Remove Mold? Simply put, dehumidifiers cannot remove mold. The machine is designed to remove moisture in the air. This means that if there is already a presence of mildew in a home or building, it is not going to be removed just by working to reduce the moisture after the fact.
mildew and mold will develop within 24-48 hours of water exposure. Even worse, it will continue to grow until steps are taken to eliminate the source of moisture, and effectively deal with the mold problem. Use the diagram on the facing page to assess the extent of mold in your home.
Place air purifiers throughout your home to kill mold in the air. The only way to directly kill mold spores in the air is to use an air purifier. For best results, place purifiers in each room of your house to ensure maximum efficiency in killing the spores.
