Our 10 Step Mold Inspection, Testing, and Mold Removal Process
Personalized Broward Mold Remediation Process by FixMoldΒ
Comprehensive Broward Mold Testing
FixMold sends down a state-certified Licensed Mold Inspector Broward technician along with his crew to perform a full Broward Mold Assessment of your property. They start by collecting pertinent information from you in regard to any water intrusion and/or condensation buildup you may have in the walls, floorboards, kitchen, attic, crawl space, or the AC unit. The client is asked if anyone in the property has been suffering from health-related issues or symptoms they may have been experiencing. (If directed by the client, our on-site manager will sample the areas of concern)
This detailed Broward Mold Testing process helps identify hidden contamination, moisture intrusion sources, and indoor air quality concerns before they develop into larger remediation issues.
Thorough Mold Inspection
Our technicians then perform a visual assessment by doing a walkthrough to determine possible areas of suspect growth. Infrared Thermography Images are taken throughout to ascertain possible indications of water damage and/or condensation, the source of any moisture intrusions, as well as any construction defects possibly causing or contributing to the propertyβs mold issue.
Visual Inspection
The technicians will then use an LED Fiber Optic Snake Camera in the vent system(s), attic, as well as behind cabinets and crawlspace(s) if applicable, to verify the presence of possible mold growth throughout the space. The Protimeter will be used to measure radio waves beneath the wall surface, including wallpaper, paint, and tiles, to verify moisture levels present without penetrating the exterior covering. This allows our team to undertake a very quick reading without damaging the surface.
Air Quality Measurement
Digital air particle counters will measure particle number concentrations and size range to validate mechanical filtration systems, identify sources of contamination, and ensure that air quality objectives are met. Optical particle counters are capable of monitoring particles in both the air and in liquids.
Temperature Analysis
Laser Thermometers will be used in identifying hot and cold spots that may be contributing to elevated humidity levels and/or mold growth within your property. By simply pointing the laser at a specific area of your property, we will be able to detect these spots and document them accordingly in your report.
Humidity measurement
A Digital Airflow Meter will be used to measure the airflow from the central A/C unit and vent systems to verify possible clogging of the central A/C unit coils that could be providing conditions conducive to mold growth and/or cross-contamination. Clogged coils are normally a sign of contamination due to moisture and improper ventilation in your property.
Moisture Detection
The Psychrometer Humidity is used to take both wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature readings. With those two values known, through computation or by reading a psychrometric chart, the other properties of the air can be determined. The instrument also displays relative humidity and dew point temperature readings in order to ensure that they are within an acceptable range.
Final Testing and Clearance
A Hydrosensor will be used throughout different surfaces in the property to determine if there is moisture present in the given area. The moisture mapping technology is crucial in locating water damage and areas with elevated moisture that could be contributing to the growth of mold in your property. Using an LED light located on the Hydrosensor, we can identify the exact percentage of moisture present using nickel-plated points unique to this device, and a beeping sound that is automatically activated when the moisture content is above 17% during the inspection process.
These findings become a critical part of the Broward Mold Assessment and help determine the most effective remediation strategy.
Real-Time Data Reporting
Our WiFi-integrated CRM allows us to receive readings and photographs in real-time, ensuring that within 1-2 business days, you will receive your full, detailed Mold report. This report will contain an explanation of which instruments are being used, along with documentation of all infrared and digital images. Your report will also elaborate on the state-certified licensed techniciansβ general findings and recommendations.
Every report is prepared by a Licensed Mold Inspector Broward professional and includes detailed documentation to support remediation planning, insurance claims, and property evaluations.
Follow-Up Communication
Once the report is sent to you, a senior manager from our administration team will contact you via email, then over the phone to outline our findings in detail. We will then clarify the results of your report and provide property recommendations regarding how you should proceed. Top quality is our specialty, and FixMold is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive Mold report available in the industry.
Why Mold Is a Problem in Broward County
Broward County's large inventory of aging condominiums, townhomes, and commercial buildings β many built in the 1970s and 1980s before modern moisture-resistant building standards β makes the problem even more acute. Our mold inspection team uses infrared thermal imaging, professional air quality testing and comprehensive Broward Mold Testing to locate all mold sources, including hidden growth inside walls, ceilings, and HVAC systems.
Β
Broward County sits at the heart of South Florida's most mold-vulnerable region. Stretching from the Atlantic coastline to the Everglades, Broward County's geography creates a perfect storm of high humidity, frequent rainfall, and elevated groundwater levels that make mold growth one of the most common property problems across the county.
With average humidity consistently above 75% and a hurricane season that runs six months of the year, Broward County homeowners and business owners face constant moisture intrusion risks. Storm damage, flooding, roof leaks, plumbing failures, and HVAC condensation are the leading triggers for mold outbreaks across Broward's residential and commercial properties.

Our mold inspection team uses infrared thermal imaging and professional air quality testing, and Broward Mold Testing to locate all mold sources, including hidden growth inside walls, ceilings, and HVAC systems.Β
When elevated mold levels are identified, our team develops a customized Broward Mold Remediation plan designed specifically for the property's moisture conditions, contamination levels, and structural requirements.
Our Mold Remediation Process in Broward County
Every Broward Mold Remediation project follows our proven 3-step process developed over 35 years of South Florida remediation experience:Β
Step 1 β Inspection & Assessment
Every job begins with a comprehensive Broward mold assessment using infrared thermal imaging, air sampling, and surface swab testing. We locate every mold colony β including hidden growth that standard visual inspections completely miss.
Step 2 β Containment & Removal
Our certified technicians seal the affected area under negative pressure containment to prevent spores from spreading to clean areas. We use exclusive COβ dry ice blasting technology and HEPA air filtration to remove all mold safely and completely.
Every Broward Mold Remediation project is performed under strict containment protocols to prevent cross-contamination and ensure safe removal of affected materials.
Step 3 β Clearance Testing & Certification
Once remediation is complete, we perform full mold clearance testing to certify your property is 100% mold-free. Every Broward County job comes with a 12-month warranty and a detailed mold prevention report.
Following Broward Mold Remediation, clearance testing verifies that indoor air quality and mold levels have returned to acceptable conditions.
Common Mold Problems We Fix in Broward County
Broward County's coastal and inland environments create specific mold challenges our team handles daily:
- Hurricane and storm flood damage β Broward County sits directly in Florida's hurricane belt. Storm surges and flooding push moisture deep into walls and floors, creating rapid mold growth. Our water damage restoration team responds immediately to dry and remediate before mold spreads
- HVAC and air duct mold β Broward County's year-round heat means AC systems run constantly, creating condensation build-up inside ductwork. Our HVAC mold cleaning service eliminates mold at the source and restores clean indoor air quality
- Attic and crawlspace mold β poor attic ventilation in Broward County's heat turns roof spaces into mold breeding grounds. Our attic mold remediation service safely removes all attic mold and seals entry points
- Commercial property mold β Broward County's large commercial sector faces significant mold risk from shared plumbing, roof leaks, and HVAC failures. Our commercial mold remediation team handles properties of all sizes with minimal business disruption
