Indoor air quality (IAQ) is one of the most overlooked environmental issues in Florida homes and commercial properties. With high humidity, aging buildings, and overloaded HVAC systems, many structures are operating in ways that quietly compromise occupant health and comfort. At Full Spectrum Environmental, indoor environmental quality (IEQ) isn’t just a line item—it’s the foundation of a safe, breathable space.
Our firm specializes in providing high-level, data-backed indoor air quality assessments across the state of Florida. From waterfront condos to office buildings, our assessments are built around building science—not guesswork—and we’ve found that what you can’t see in your air is often what’s most dangerous.
Understanding the True Nature of Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air problems aren’t always obvious. Mold odors, allergy symptoms, or temperature imbalances are usually just signs of deeper building failures. In many cases, the issue isn’t limited to spores or particles—it’s tied to pressurization issues, temperature differentials, hidden moisture, or duct system contamination.
That’s why a true IAQ or IEQ inspection needs more than just a mold test. Our approach uses a combination of field-tested methods and industry-recognized sampling protocols to paint a full picture of the indoor environment.
Each Full Spectrum indoor air quality assessment may include:
Temperature and Humidity Trend Analysis
Pressure Differential Testing (to detect negative pressure and air intrusion)
Mold Spore Air Sampling using defensible cassette-based methods
Surface and Swab Sampling for microbial buildup
HVAC Diagnostics, including coil, blower, UV light, drain pan, and duct assessments
Dust and Inorganic Material Sampling, including NIOSH 0500 total dust protocols
These tests are interpreted by professionals familiar with Florida’s unique building materials, moisture loads, and mechanical system behaviors. Reports are then tailored to serve the client’s specific need—whether for legal documentation, post-remediation verification (PRV), insurance support, or long-term indoor air planning.
Why a Third-Party Consultant Makes a Difference
Full Spectrum Environmental operates independently of remediation companies, ensuring a neutral, unbiased perspective. We’re not here to sell clean-up—we’re here to provide clear environmental data and expert interpretation.
This third-party objectivity allows our clients—especially property managers, attorneys, homeowners, and contractors—to make informed decisions without pressure or conflict of interest.
Serving West Palm Beach, Miami, Naples… and Now Tampa
While headquartered in Lake Worth Beach, our operations now serve the entire state, including West Palm Beach, Miami, Orlando, Naples, and our growing presence in Tampa.
Florida’s west coast presents its own challenges: older housing stock, beachfront moisture, and frequent renovations that open the door for building envelope breaches.
“We’re starting to see a pattern in the Tampa area—homes and buildings where moisture imbalances, pressure issues, and older duct systems are contributing to discomfort or health concerns,” says Justin Aristarenes, Chief Operating Officer of Full Spectrum Environmental – Tampa Branch.
“Even without major visible damage, these small environmental shifts can add up. Our job is to measure what’s happening behind the scenes and give clients a clear picture of their air quality and building performance.”
Our Tampa division may be in early growth stages, but the same proven methodology and commitment to integrity guides every project we take on.
Air Quality Is a System Issue—Not Just a Mold Problem
Poor indoor air quality is rarely caused by a single source. In most cases, it’s a systemic breakdown: duct leakage, unbalanced airflow, improper attic venting, or thermal bridges that cause condensation behind walls.
Our job is to connect the dots between building science and occupant experience—and provide written, photographic, and data-driven evidence that clarifies the next steps.
