Mold Inspection

Find out what is in your walls
before it becomes a bigger bill.

A musty smell with nothing visible usually means mold is hiding where you cannot see it, inside a wall cavity, an AC duct or under the floor. A professional inspection tells you exactly what is there and where the moisture is coming from, before it spreads.

Mold Inspection Florida

Why a mold inspection matters

Mold hides before it shows

It can grow for months inside wall cavities and ductwork with nothing visible. By the time you see or smell it, it has usually spread.

Health comes first

Mold triggers allergy and respiratory symptoms, and hits people with asthma or weakened immune systems harder. An inspection confirms whether your air is the problem.

Protect the sale or purchase

Buying or selling a Florida home means a documented inspection protects you from inheriting, or being blamed for, hidden mold.

Our Inspection Process

How a Bullfrog mold inspection works

1

Visual assessment

We walk the home and check the areas Florida mold favors: around AC systems, under sinks, along exterior walls and anywhere past water intrusion happened.

2

Moisture mapping

We map moisture readings across walls, floors and ceilings with professional meters to find water you cannot see.

3

Air quality sampling

We collect air samples inside the home and one outside as a reference, so the lab can compare indoor spore levels to the outdoor baseline.

4

Surface swab testing

Where growth is visible, we take surface swabs for lab identification.

5

Written report with lab results

You receive a written report with the moisture readings, affected areas, any mold species found and recommended next steps. It is yours to keep and share with an insurer, agent or lender.

6

Remediation plan if mold is found

If the inspection confirms mold, we give you a written removal proposal on the same visit. No second contractor needed. See our full mold remediation process.

The inspector and the remediator are the same licensed company.

Most mold inspectors only inspect. That means when they find mold, you start over with a separate remediation company, and an inspect-only shop has every reason to find something. Bullfrog holds Florida mold remediator license MRSR5565 and performs removal, HVAC duct treatment and foundation waterproofing under the same roof. You get one honest assessment, and if work is needed, one crew, one contract and one warranty from inspection to sealed source.

Mold Inspection: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a mold inspection cost in Florida?
Most Florida mold inspections run $300 to $600. A basic visual inspection with moisture mapping is $200 to $400, and adding lab sampling brings it to $400 to $700 depending on the number of samples and the size of the home. For a full breakdown, see our Florida mold inspection cost guide.
Is mold testing worth the cost?
Sometimes. If you can already see mold, you usually do not need a lab to confirm it, and a visual inspection with moisture mapping is enough. Testing earns its cost when you smell mold but cannot find it, when someone in the home has a health condition, during a real estate transaction or for clearance testing after remediation.
How do you test for mold in a house?
A proper inspection combines several methods: a visual check of the areas mold favors, moisture meters to find hidden water, air samples compared against an outdoor baseline and surface swabs where growth is visible. Together they show whether mold is present and where the moisture feeding it is coming from.
Does homeowners insurance cover a mold inspection?
Sometimes, when the inspection is tied to a covered loss like a burst pipe. Most Florida policies cap mold coverage and exclude it when the cause is gradual or flood-related. Our guide on whether homeowners insurance covers mold in Florida explains what qualifies.
How long does a mold inspection take?
A typical home takes one to three hours depending on its size and how much sampling is involved. Larger homes and hard-to-reach areas like attics and crawl spaces take longer. Lab results, when sampling is done, usually come back within a few days.
Can I test for mold myself with a store kit?
Home kits tell you mold exists, which the air already told you, but they do not tell you the concentration, the source or whether it is a real problem. They almost always come back positive because mold spores are everywhere. A professional inspection with moisture mapping finds the source, which is what actually lets you fix it.
