There are three states (NY, FL, TX) with policies that recommend an independent mold inspection be conducted by a stand-alone inspection company. In Florida the policy applies if you have more than 10 sq ft of visible mold growth, or if it is for a non-residential property.
An independent inspection with mold air samples typically starts around $400 and can be as much as several thousands dollars. This cost variation is primarily due to the number of swab and air tests required to properly assess the extent of mold infestation. The independent assessor then writes up recommended protocols based on their visual inspection and the test results from the third-party lab analysis.
The policy was designed to empower property owners and renters with unbiased test data and recommendations to make the best possible decision for their restoration needs.
Most remediation companies are capable of performing a thorough inspection and necessary testing. With this option, you get...
You are not required by law to use an independent assessor if you are a commercial location or have mold that has visibly spread beyond 10 square feet. There are pros and cons to both options and the choice is ultimately up to you.
Our take is if you have good reason to trust the remediation company, then this is a very good option.
It is not required, but recommended by Florida state policy.
Our dry fog is often the most cost-effective solution for businesses looking to minimize building downtime. Due to the exclusive rights we have to our patented dry fog protocol, business and governmental organizations frequently seek us out for our expertise in demolition, clean-up, and mold treatment .
To satisfy Florida state policy that recommends that all businesses first hire an assessor before choosing a remediation company, we can make recommendations on who we've found to be the most trustworthy, independent and certified mold assessors in the business
Keep in mind that there is no law that you have to comply with this policy.
For instances where there's less than 10 square feet of contiguous mold, we can comply with state policy and both inspect AND perform necessary remediation quickly and easily.
For mold infestation greater than 10 sq ft, spending $400 with an independent assessor then waiting three days for test results to return from an external lab may comply with policy, but it isn't required
Not every mold clean-up job needs an officially certified inspection. if mold growth is obvious from a visual inspection, then hiring a remediation company immediately will get your property back to health quicker than going the independent assessor route first, then hiring a remediation company afterwards.
Most of the time, mold testing or air quality tests are not necessary when dealing with visible mold in a residential setting. Florida state regulations only mandate that these assessments be done if there is 10 contiguous square feet or more. However, should you choose to proceed directly into remediation without further testing that is entirely up to you, and compliance with a state regulation is not required.
Two things to consider... if you have a health issue from the mold and fixing it is dependent on knowing the type of mold and extent of exposure, then mold testing is a good idea. Your insurance company may require the testing data for any claim.
Otherwise, investing money in an inspection where mold is clearly present is typically unnecessary and can be avoided.
For residential and commercial customers a mold test processed by a trusted third-party certified lab is only one $199 per test. However we do offer a slight discount for a large number of tests.
Customers choose Pure Maintenance because there isn't a more thorough mold remediation process in Orlando, or anywhere on the planet.
We do everything that a traditional remediation and water damage restoration company offers. In addition, we are the only mold company that offers a patented and green dry fog system that uses a hospital-grade sterilant and an antimicrobial registered with the FDA. Simultaneously more effective, faster, safer, and lower cost. This is how Pure Maintenance has been able to grow nationwide to over a hundred locations and serve more than 20,000 customers in the last three years alone.
We tell people you should always at least get an estimate. The savings can be Tens of Thousands for our commercial customers and thousands of dollars for our residential customers.
The Pure Maintenance approach to mold remediation is at least 10X, most often 100X, and sometimes 1000X more effective than other mold remediation companies' approaches. Our Dry Fog particles are smaller than a mold spore. So wherever a mold spore goes, our dry fog will go; into the threads of carpets and drapes, and into the fabric and grain of furniture and wood. Going where no liquid can.
Sounds too good to be true?
Take for example a 2000 sq ft home that has a combined 20 sq ft of visible and hidden black mold. Traditionally, mold removal would quarantine the immediate area around that 20 sq ft, and maybe another 80 sq ft surrounding it as well. Then treat only that part of the home. This makes sense, right? Yes, it does, and we will do the same if demolition in the immediate area is necessary.
However, where we are different is we will push dry fog to every surface on every piece of furniture, carpet thread, HVAC interior, and other belonging in your entire home. Not just the 2,000 sq ft of floor area, but to every surface. Instead of focusing only on100 sq ft, we treat the volume of the air in your home and literally treat 10,000 sq ft or more of surface area... twice. First with our hospital-grade cold sterilant, then a second time with a preventive antimicrobial, which provides 90 days of ongoing “cleaning” and prevention.
Our claim that we are 100X more effective is a conservative estimate.
Why does going above and beyond in this way matter? Orlando is humid, very humid. Mold spores and their mycotoxins can also travel throughout the interior, very quickly. We eliminate the risk of those spores getting hold in another poorly ventilated part of your home. A total home cleanse also immediately puts your home at a healthier level than it has likely ever been. Even more sanitary than when it was very first built.
Your improved health will thank you. Nothing else in the market can compare!
Upon request, we will share proof of being bonded and insured up to one million dollars. We will also share our Florida State certifications to perform a mold assessment and mold remediation. When looking to get quotes for your home or business mold remediation project, these three items should be considered bare minimum requirements.
An independent, inspection-only company can cost you up to $600 for the inspection and tests alone. When necessary, this expense can't be avoided. But there are plenty of times when it is unnecessary. We will guide you and let you know when it would be in your interest to assume or avoid this potentially unnecessary cost.
Our unique and exclusive patented process can also reduce reconstruction costs and the labor associated with demolition.

Well, we provide expert assistance and connections with public adjusters to ensure you recoup as much of the cost of your mold remediation project as possible through your home insurance company.
Time is money.
If you decide to move forward with our mold remediation services, we can achieve equal or better results than you could with another method, and do it in a fraction of the time. The national average is close to a week's worth of inconvenience. Our average total time in your home may span a couple of days, but the combined time in your home is less than one work day.
Our dry fog is completely proven. Your indoor air will match or be better than your outdoor air quality, or we will come back and dry fog again at no cost.
We use a third-party lab to verify your air quality by taking air samples (mold tests) after we have completed your mold remediation project. One air quality test is taken outside your home, and the other is taken inside your home. We can then easily compare the results to show you that your indoor air has been restored to as good or better than outdoor quality.
More importantly, we look to address the air quality throughout your entire home, not just the air quality local to where the mold growth was found.

From start to finish it can take just five days to complete everything... from your first call to your last air quality mold test.
Actual Time at Your Home or Business is Roughly a Total of 8 hours
