Different reasons
for calling.
Same requirement.
A property manager, a remediation contractor, and a defense attorney want very different things from a mold assessment — but all three need it to survive being questioned.
Hanna Commercial Property Inspections works with commercial property managers and real estate firms responding to tenant complaints, mold remediation contractors who need independent clearance on completed projects, insurers and public adjusters documenting cause and extent for claims, attorneys handling habitability and construction defect matters, facility owners managing schools, healthcare, hospitality, multifamily, industrial, and municipal properties, and buyers and lenders performing due diligence before closing. Each comes to us for a different reason, but all of them need findings that hold up when someone with a financial stake starts asking who wrote the report. We hold the Florida mold assessor license and perform no remediation. Serving Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau, Baker, Bradford, Putnam, and Alachua counties. License MRSA5649.
You're fielding a tenant complaint, and the question is whether you have an actual problem or an anxious occupant. Either answer is fine — what you can't afford is guessing, or a paper trail showing you didn't look.
We assess the space, identify whether there's a moisture source driving it, and give you a document that stands up if the complaint escalates. If the building is fine, the report says so, and that's often the most valuable outcome.
Typically needsAssessment — sometimes followed by a protocol if remediation is warranted.
You can't clear your own work, so you need an independent assessor on every project that requires verification. The problem is that most assessors also sell remediation, which means introducing your client to a competitor.
We don't remediate. There is no scenario where we bid against you or take the removal work. We schedule clearance around your completion date, and you get documentation clean enough that adjusters accept it the first time.
Typically needsPost-remediation clearance, on an ongoing basis.
The dispute is almost never whether mold exists. It's cause, extent, and scope — and whoever documents those first tends to define the negotiation.
We document what the data supports and where it stops. That means findings written to be evaluated rather than argued, with sample locations mapped, lab results attached, and explicit notes on what the results do not establish.
Typically needsAssessment with detailed documentation; protocols to define covered scope.
Habitability claims, construction defect, tenant disputes, insurance litigation. In each, the assessment becomes evidence, and the first thing opposing counsel goes after is the author's interest in the outcome.
We hold the assessor license only and perform no remediation, so that line of attack has nowhere to go. Reports are written with the assumption they'll be read adversarially — conclusions separated from observations, and limits stated plainly.
Typically needsAssessment with documentation written to be read adversarially.
Schools, healthcare, hospitality, multifamily, industrial, and municipal properties share a common problem: occupants who can't simply leave, and stakeholders who will ask what you knew and when.
These buildings usually need assessment scoped around access constraints — after hours, between sessions, or by wing. We schedule around occupancy rather than asking you to work around us.
Typically needsAssessment, often recurring across a portfolio.
Due diligence has a deadline, and moisture problems are the kind that surface after closing rather than before. A visual walkthrough won't find what's behind a wall.
We work inside inspection windows and report what we find regardless of what it does to the transaction — which is precisely the value, since an assessment shaped by whether the deal closes isn't worth commissioning.
Typically needsAssessment, scheduled to a due-diligence timeline.
