Commercial Mold Assessment, Testing & Inspection

Licensed Florida mold assessment for commercial buildings — visual survey, moisture mapping, accredited lab sampling, and a written report that stands up when someone challenges it.

Commercial Mold Testing & Inspection Services in Northeast Florida

Hanna Commercial Property Inspections performs independent commercial mold testing and inspection for office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, schools, healthcare facilities, hospitality properties, multifamily buildings, and industrial sites across Northeast Florida. Every assessment includes a full visual survey, moisture meter readings, thermal imaging, humidity mapping, air sampling by zone with an outdoor control, and accredited laboratory analysis. You receive a written report identifying the moisture source, the extent of affected areas, mapped sample results, and whether remediation is warranted. Because Florida law prohibits a company from both assessing and remediating the same property, we perform assessment only — our findings carry no financial interest in the outcome. Serving Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau, Baker, Bradford, Putnam, and Alachua counties. Florida Mold Assessor License MRSA5649.

Why it matters

A company that both tests for mold and sells removal has a financial interest in what the test says. Florida law recognizes the problem and prohibits the same firm from doing both on one project. We only assess — so when our report says remediation is needed, that finding isn't a sales pitch, and when it says the building is fine, that's worth something too.

When to call

The situations that bring people here.

Most commercial assessments start with one of these. If more than one applies to your building, the problem has usually been developing for a while.

Tenant complaintsOccupants reporting odor, symptoms, or visible growth — and a paper trail starting to form.
Water intrusionRoof leaks, plumbing failures, or storm damage where drying may not have been complete.
Visible growthStaining or growth found during maintenance, turnover, or renovation demo.
Persistent odorA musty smell with no visible source — often HVAC, wall cavities, or under flooring.
Insurance claimsA carrier, adjuster, or attorney requiring documented cause and extent.
Property transactionsDue diligence before acquisition, financing, or a long-term lease commitment.
HVAC concernsContamination suspected in ductwork, air handlers, or distribution systems.
Recurring problemsGrowth that keeps returning after previous remediation, meaning the source was never found.

The assessment

What we actually do on site.

An assessment is not a walkthrough with a flashlight. It's a systematic survey of the building's moisture conditions and air, designed to locate the source rather than just confirm the symptom.

  • Full visual inspection of affected and adjacent areas
  • Moisture meter readings on walls, flooring, and building materials
  • Thermal imaging to locate moisture behind finished surfaces
  • Humidity and temperature readings across zones
  • HVAC system inspection where contamination is suspected
  • Air sampling by zone, with an outdoor control for comparison
  • Surface and swab sampling of visible growth or staining
  • Photographic documentation throughout

The deliverable

What you get back.

The report is the product. It has to be readable by a property manager, defensible to an adjuster, and survivable in a deposition — all at once.

  • Findings stated plainly, in order of significance
  • Identified moisture source and likely cause
  • Extent and boundaries of affected areas
  • Laboratory results with sample locations mapped
  • Photographs keyed to findings
  • Interpretation of what the data does — and does not — establish
  • Recommended next steps, including whether remediation is warranted

If the data doesn't support a conclusion, the report says so.

How we work

A defined sequence, every time.

STEP 01

Scope & proposal

We size the job by square footage, HVAC zones, and sample count, then send one all-in number before we start.

STEP 02

On-site assessment

Visual inspection, moisture mapping, and targeted sampling — documented as we go.

STEP 03

Accredited lab analysis

Samples go to an independent accredited laboratory. We don't run our own lab, so the numbers in your report come from a third party with nothing riding on them.

STEP 04

Report & protocol

A written report with findings, photos, and lab data — plus a remediation protocol if the situation calls for one.

What it costs

Scoped to the building, quoted up front.

There's no flat rate for commercial assessment, because a 3,000 square foot suite and a 60,000 square foot warehouse aren't the same job. Anyone who quotes you a single price without asking about the building is guessing.

We price on three things: building size, the number of HVAC zones or areas to be covered, and the sample count the situation actually requires. You get one all-in number before we schedule, and the invoice matches it.

What shapes the number

The variables

  • Square footage and number of areas or suites involved
  • How many HVAC zones need separate sampling
  • The number of samples the situation actually requires
  • Whether a written remediation protocol is needed
  • Rush lab turnaround, if your timeline requires it

Samples are itemized separately rather than bundled into the base fee, so you can see exactly what you're paying for and adjust scope before we begin.
