Get an Excellent Understanding of the Mold Removal / Remediation & Claims Process
We don't do mold remediation, but when doing inspections, claims, and project management, we work first-hand and on-site with a lot of companies that do. As an advocate for homeowners and business owners, our experience allows us to provide honest, fair, and complete answers to quesitons about the mold remediation process in Florida.
If we say anything you feel is inaccurate, please let us know at info@jrgmoldinspection.com, and we will fix it.
- How can I prevent mold growth in Florida's humid climate?
Maintain indoor humidity below 50-60% with AC and dehumidifiers. Ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, and attics. Fix leaks within 24-48 hours. Use mold-resistant paints/products in high-risk areas. Schedule annual HVAC inspections and elevate items in crawl spaces. JRG offers prevention consultations post-inspection.
- What happens after the mold inspection report?
You’ll receive a detailed report with photos, findings, lab results (if tested), moisture readings, and remediation recommendations. We can oversee the project as your advocate, bidding out to licensed remediators, ensuring protocol compliance, and performing clearance testing. This neutral oversight often saves 20-30% on costs.
- Are your inspectors licensed and certified in Florida?
Yes, all JRG inspectors are Florida-licensed Mold Assessors (MRSR or MRSA). We carry errors & omissions insurance and follow IICRC S520 standards for professional mold assessment.
- Do I need a mold inspection if I can already see mold?
Yes, even with visible mold, a professional inspection is recommended. It uncovers hidden growth behind walls, under floors, or in HVAC systems; identifies the root cause (like leaks or humidity); and provides documentation for insurance claims or remediation planning. DIY visuals often miss 70-80% of the total infestation based on our Florida field experience.
- How long does a typical mold inspection take?
A standard residential inspection (up to 2,500 sq ft) usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on property size, accessibility, and complexity. Commercial inspections or those requiring extensive sampling may take 3-4 hours or more. We’ll provide a detailed report within 24-48 hours after lab results (if testing is included).
