Indoor Air Quality Inspection in Evergrene, Jupiter

When a family in Evergreen, one of Palm Beach Gardens’ desirable gated communities, noticed a stubborn musty odor near their upstairs air returns, they knew it was time to look deeper. Even with a newer HVAC system, the smell came back every time the system ran — especially after Florida’s heavy rains.

Full Spectrum Environmental was called in to investigate and confirm whether hidden mold or moisture was to blame.

What Full Spectrum Found

Our Jupiter performed a comprehensive Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) inspection, combining:

  • Visual inspections of attic ductwork and air handlers

  • Moisture readings around previous leak areas

  • Borescope checks of duct board conditions

  • Static pressure measurements to detect airflow issues

  • Certified spore trap air sampling across multiple living spaces

Test results showed elevated Aspergillus and Cladosporium mold spores inside the upstairs air handler, with additional mold fragments found in the southeast bedroom wall cavity — an area previously affected by a roof leak. The ductwork also showed visible dust buildup and signs of hidden microbial growth.

How Green Fox Air Quality Fixed It

To fully resolve the problem, Green Fox Air Quality performed all required remediation, following strict mold remediation and NADCA ACR standards. The scope included:

✅ Complete HVAC duct cleaning of supply and return lines for both the upstairs and downstairs systems.

✅ Thorough internal cleaning of both air handlers — including removal and deep cleaning of blower wheels, coil surfaces, and cabinet interiors.

✅ Application of IAQ-rated antimicrobial coatings throughout the ductwork, plenum, and registers to help prevent future mold growth.

✅ Negative pressure containment and HEPA filtration during selective removal of contaminated drywall and insulation in the upstairs southeast bedroom.

✅ Full wall rebuild, complete with new drywall and painting to match the surrounding finish.

Green Fox ensured the entire process protected clean areas, used industry-standard containment, and kept the family’s living spaces safe during the work.

Final Peace of Mind

After Green Fox’s remediation, Full Spectrum Environmental recommended final clearance sampling to verify that mold spore counts had returned to safe, normal indoor levels — giving the Evergreen homeowners confidence that their air was clean and their ducts were dry.

✅ A Trusted Partnership

This Evergreen project shows why Jupiter homeowners trust Full Spectrum Environmental for clear, unbiased indoor air testing, and Green Fox Air Quality for full-scope, certified mold remediation that follows through to final clearance.
