A typical inspection cane around 1-2 hours for every thousand square feet. So for example, if you have a 3,000 square foot house, that could take anywhere between 3-6 hours. The length of time depends on how many issues we come across. We are investigators at heart. The more issues we find, the longer it takes to dive into them and ensure we understand them fully. However, if the house is squeaky clean, we get through it much faster.

Think of sampling like a detective’s toolkit — we don’t believe in a “best” tool, we believe in using the right tool for the situation.

Just like a detective might use fingerprints in one case, a surveillance camera in another, and a witness interview in a third — we use different sampling methods depending on what we’re trying to uncover. Each one has its strengths and limitations, and part of our expertise is knowing when and how to apply each one.

We offer a wide range of sampling options (air, surface, bulk, dust, VOC, moisture mapping, etc.) — not because more is better, but because every case is different. Our job is to choose the most effective and appropriate method to get answers that matter, not just data on paper.

The samples that are included in your investigation are spore trap air samples and/or direct samples. However, if more advanced testing is needed, we have those options available.

We’re a specialty inspection company that primarily travels across the country to work on complex cases — especially homes where someone is dealing with mold-related illness or has autoimmune concerns that require a more detailed investigation.

Because of that, most of our work falls into one of the following service types:

• Travel Investigations (Nationwide)

  These are performed by our inspector Regan and are designed for standard-sized homes that need a high-quality, health-focused mold assessment. These typically cost around $4,000.

• Comprehensive Indoor Environmental Investigations

  Led by Brantley, this more comprehensive option is for clients who would like a more comprehensive and holistic understanding of their building environment and how it impacts the overall indoor air quality. These investigations are typically around $9,000.

• Jacksonville-Area Mold Inspections

  For homes local to the Jacksonville, FL area, our standard inspections are about $0.40 per sq ft.
  For example, a 2,000 sq ft home would be approximately $795.

A mold investigation involves a comprehensive assessment of both the exterior and interior of the home. The goal is to determine where mold is present, how extensive the issue is, and how it can be properly and safely remediated.

We approach each investigation using advanced building science principles to identify any underlying issues with the structure or mechanical systems that could be contributing to moisture problems or mold growth.

Your inspection includes:

• Thermal imaging

• Full moisture mapping

• Ambient humidity and dew point readings

• Inspection scoping

• Basic pressure testing

• And more

For Jacksonville-area clients, the inspection includes three samples. For travel investigations, we provide unlimited sampling, allowing us to take as many samples as needed to fully understand the condition of the home and develop an accurate remediation plan.

This flexibility is a significant value — it ensures we’re not limited by sample count when gathering data and helps minimize the risk of needing a return visit later to sample areas that may only become suspect after initial lab results are reviewed.

The cost of the investigation also includes an easy-to-read written report along with a detailed protocol for preventative measure and for mold remediation.
