Breathe Easier Knowing What’s Behind the Walls
Musty smells. Discoloration. High humidity. If you suspect mold in your home or building, it’s important to get a licensed, unbiased assessment.
At Full Spectrum Environmental, we offer professional mold testing and inspections across South Florida, using scientific methods to identify issues and help you take action—no scare tactics, no upselling.
What Is a Mold Assessment?
A mold assessment is a non-destructive inspection of a building’s surfaces, moisture conditions, and indoor air to determine whether mold growth may be present. Our licensed assessors use industry-standard protocols, combining visual inspection, moisture mapping, and sample collection where necessary.
Every inspection is tailored to your concerns—whether it’s a visible stain, an odor, or a general indoor quality concern.
When To Schedule a Mold Test
You might benefit from mold testing or a full inspection if:
- You smell a musty or earthy odor indoors
- You see discoloration on walls, ceilings, or furniture
- You’ve recently had a leak, flood, or plumbing issue
- You're purchasing or renting a home and want peace of mind
- You’re dealing with persistent humidity or condensation
How Do You Test For Mold?
When it comes to mold analysis, proper sample collection is important to provide accurate and reliable results. We follow industry-standard protocols for mold sample collection to minimize contamination and ensure accurate results.

Different methods of sampling include:
Air Sampling
A specialized ‘Air Cassette” is used to collect mold spores in the air.
Cavity Sampling
A tube is inserted into a wall cavity to draw air from between the space to collect mold spores.
Swab Sampling
Taking samples of any visible mold growth or suspected areas of mold growth along a surface
Tape Sampling
Using a piece of adhesive tape to collect mold spores from a surface.
How We Analyze Mold in the Lab
Our accredited labs use microscopy to examine mold samples collected from your property. This process involves looking at air or surface samples under a powerful microscope to identify and count mold spores. It’s a precise method that helps us confirm if mold is present, what type it is, and how much is in your space, giving you clear, reliable results to address any issues.
What's Included in Our Mold Inspection
Mold inspections go beyond testing by using expertise in building science and biology to pinpoint the source of the mold, assess the extent of damage, and recommend actionable solutions.
- Visual Site Evaluation – Surface inspection for stains, growth, or water-damaged materials
- Moisture Mapping – Identify hidden leaks or wet areas using infrared and moisture meters
- Relative Humidity & Temperature Checks – Understand the conditions contributing to mold risk
- Air/Surface Sampling - Collection of airborne and surface samples and analyzed by an accredited laboratory
- PDF Report – Includes findings, photo documentation, and a scope of work if remediation is needed
What Is a Mold Report?
A mold report is a detailed summary of the findings from a professional mold inspection, designed to identify mold growth and its causes. It includes results from visual inspections, moisture readings, and lab analysis of air or surface samples, helping you understand the severity of the issue.
In addition to the findings, a mold report provides recommendations for remediation and prevention (also known as a remediation protocol). This can include solutions to remove mold, control moisture, and improve air quality.
