12-Step Signature Assessment Process
Mold can hide in hard to reach areas and spread rapidly within 24 hours. The technicians at Miami Mold Specialist, leader in the industry of environmental consulting, have developed a 12-step mold inspection protocol for accurate on-site assessment as well as addressing the source of the mold issue in order to provide an accurate and customized solution based on those findings.
The technicians at Miami Mold Specialist, leaders in the industry of environmental consulting, are known for accurate on-site assessment, and addressing the source of the mold and acting quickly. Our trucks are equipped with the latest Wi-Fi integrated state-of-the-art technology.
1. Miami Mold Specialist sends down four certified technicians, as well as an environmental analyst to perform a full mold assessment of the premises. They start by collecting pertinent information from you in regards to any water damage and/or condensation buildup you may have had in the past, the length of time and reason you suspect you have a mold problem as well as any possible health symptoms you have been experiencing. This will provide them with a brief insight as to the cause of your concern.
2. Our technicians then perform a visual assessment by doing a walkthrough to determine possible areas of suspect growth. Infrared Thermography Images are taken throughout, to ascertain possible indications of water damage and/or condensation, the source of any moisture intrusions as well as any construction defects possibly causing or attributing to your mold issue.
3. The technicians will then use an LED Fiber Optic Snake Camera in the vent system(s) as well as behind cabinets and crawlspace(s) if applicable, to verify the presence of possible mold growth throughout.
4. Tests will also be taken Digital Air Particle Counters, showing immediate results, which will be conveyed to you upon completion of your mold assessment as well as in your Mold Inspection Report with printout results that can test the air quality of your property on site. In the event that elevated air particle levels are found this means that your air quality has been compromised and is more than likely contaminated.
5. Laser Thermometers, will be used in identifying hot and cold spots that could be contributing to elevated humidity levels and/or mold growth within your property. By just pointing the laser at a specific area of your property, we will be able to detect these spots and document them accordingly.
6. A Digital Airflow Meter will be used to measure the airflow from the wall and central A/C unit and vent systems to verify possible clogging of the wall and central A/C unit coils that could be providing conditions conducive to mold growth and/or cross-contamination. Clogged coils are usually a sign of contamination and improper ventilation in your property.
7. A Digital Psychrometer will be used within the premises to measure humidity levels and ensure that they are within acceptable ranges to prevent future mold growth.

9. A Hydrosensor will be used throughout different surfaces in the property to determine if there is moisture present in the given area. The moisture mapping technology is crucial in locating water damages and areas with elevated moisture that could be contributing to the growth of mold in your property.
10. An LED UV Flashlight will also be used to locate evidence of visual mold growth on walls, ceilings, floors, clothing, etc. The LED UV flashlight can also be used as a means of detecting leaks in your property and in your fiberglass.
11. Our Wi-Fi integrated technology allows us to receive inspection photographs and findings and share them with our clients in real-time to ensure that they understand the magnitude of their problem and to make sure that within 1-2 business days the full-detailed report will be sent. The report will contain all infrared and digital images taken during the mold inspection, along with a full explanation of all images. The report will also elaborate on the technicians’ general findings and recommendations, explaining the severity of mold growth in your property as well as the remediation process necessary to remove the mold and any steps necessary to prevent the mold from reoccurring.
12. Once the report is sent to you, a representative from our office administration will contact you to review your report, clarifying the results of your mold inspection and providing recommendations on how you should proceed and will follow up with you as you see fit. We are dedicated to providing the most comprehensive Mold Inspection Report available in the industry.

This technology is a key factor in our promise of 100% customer satisfaction and its software is exclusively designed for our franchise.
Infrared Thermography Imaging
Miami Mold Specialist uses Infrared Cameras to scan properties and be able to see if there is any moisture, water damage and/or elevated temperatures hidden underneath a specific wall, ceiling or floor. Based on the levels of moisture found, our technicians will determine if the affected area could be treated or needs to be removed and replaced.
Imaging Moisture Meter
An imaging moisture meter detects moisture pockets that can fuel mold growth in walls and flooring. By checking the surface of targeted areas, readings can be given to indicate saturation.
Digital Moisture Meter
Mold typically grows in dark and humid environments, weakening walls, ceilings, floors and wooden beams. A Digital Moisture Meter measures the percentage of moisture present in those areas and detect patterns in which mold can thrive. Detection can provide a blueprint for remediation.
Digital Psychrometer
A Digital Psychrometer measures the relative humidity in a specific area of a home, office or vessel. In only three minutes, the air temperature and the humidity is calculated, providing the client an idea of the potential hazard for mold to form and grow.
Hydrosensor
A Hydrosensor is a tool for moisture mapping and is used to quickly assess the moisture of targeted areas. It can detect active leaks as well as elevated levels of moisture providing immediate results by flashing.
LED Fiber Optic Snake Camera
Mold can be difficult to detect. Miami Mold Specialist utilizes only the most exclusive technology to provide a thorough and accurate diagnosis. One such tool is the pliable LED Fiber Optic Snake Camera. This camera is able to access the often-overlooked spaces of a building, property or vessel, such as the inside of an engine body, the internal portion of a vent/duct, a crawlspace, etc. A fiber optic cable transmits illuminated digital images to ensure clarity/high resolution and to create a highly effective strategy for mold remediation.
Laser Thermometer
Handheld Laser Thermometers allow to detect cool and hot spots that could lead to condensation and subsequent mold growth. Cold spots are usually found by the wall and central A/C unit(s), by windows, vents and/or ductwork. Hot spots could be found on ceilings as well as in the attic (when applicable).
Digital Air Particle Counter
Device with immediate results utilized to measure particles of dust, pollen and pollution present in the air. When elevated, indicates that the air quality is compromised with the mentioned contaminants and allow our technicians explain to the client that the air quality needs to be restored.
Digital Airflow Meter
Air must move freely to prevent the buildup of mold. Miami Mold Specialist uses a digital air flow meter to assess the possibility of clogged coils in air conditioning units and vent systems that could result in poor ventilation and cross-contamination.
On-Site Lighthouse Particle Counter
LED UV Flashlight
Ultraviolet (UV) Technology is able to locate mold growth on any surface. When the LED UV Flashlight is flashed on a specific surface, mold will turn bright fluorescent white. It is useful on areas such as A/C coils, vents and clothing where fiberglass and mold usually thrives.
Sampling
A third-party laboratory analyzes the sample(s) taken upon inspection, when applicable, as well as the sample(s) taken upon remediation is completed to verify the success of the treatment.
