If people in your building feel worse at work and better the moment they leave, that's not a coincidence. It's a pattern — and it has a name. Sick Building Syndrome affects occupants through chronic low-level exposure to airborne contaminants that standard HVAC maintenance never catches and most inspections never look for.
The symptoms are easy to dismiss individually: headaches, fatigue, eye and throat irritation, dry cough, difficulty concentrating, unexplained nausea. Put them together across multiple occupants in the same space, and the building itself becomes the common denominator. That's when you call FixMold.
With 35 years of environmental diagnostics experience, state licensure in both mold assessment (MRSA2521) and remediation (MRSR2709), and proprietary inspection technology including infrared thermal imaging, real-time air quality sampling, and HVAC forensic analysis, FixMold identifies what's making your building sick — and fixes it.

What you see on the surface is rarely the whole story. Mold in South Florida almost always starts where you cannot see it, inside wall cavities, above ceiling tiles, behind bathroom fixtures, inside ductwork. By the time a dark spot appears or a smell becomes undeniable, the problem has usually been building for weeks.
Our certified inspectors use infrared thermal imaging cameras and calibrated particle counters to read your property the way no visual check ever could. Infrared detects temperature differentials that reveal trapped moisture behind surfaces. Particle counters measure what is actually in your air. Together they give us a precise picture of where mold is active, not just where it is showing.
Every sample we collect goes to an independent certified laboratory, not an in-house operation. Air samples, surface swabs and control readings are analyzed under microscopy and returned with full species identification and spore counts per cubic meter of air.
What sets our reports apart is what happens after the lab results come back. Your inspector sits with you and walks through every finding in plain language. You learn exactly what was found, what it means for your health and your home, and what the right next step looks like. No jargon. No pressure. Just a clear answer and a clear path forward.
FixMold focuses on eliminating mold from your environment.
But for some individuals, recovery doesn’t stop there.
Even after successful remediation, the body may continue responding to past exposure. In these cases, a structured, medically guided approach may be necessary to support full recovery.
SBS refers to nonspecific symptoms that resolve when occupants leave the building, without a confirmed diagnosis tied to a specific cause. Building-Related Illness (BRI) involves diagnosed conditions — like hypersensitivity pneumonitis or Legionnaire's disease — that can be directly attributed to building exposure. Both require professional environmental assessment. FixMold handles both.
For a typical commercial space, a thorough inspection takes three to five hours on-site, followed by five to seven business days for laboratory results. We provide a written assessment report with findings and remediation recommendations once results are confirmed.
Yes. While the term is most associated with commercial buildings, residential properties develop the same conditions — inadequate ventilation, hidden mold, HVAC contamination, chemical off-gassing from building materials. Homeowners experiencing persistent symptoms that improve when they travel or spend extended time away from home should request an inspection.
Yes. All SBS inspection reports are produced to evidentiary standards with full laboratory chain of custody documentation. If your situation involves a legal dispute, insurance claim, or workers' compensation case, see our Expert Witness Testimony service.
