Why is a basic home inspection insufficient?

While home inspectors are trained to spot a wide range of issues, they are not certified to examine for mold. A house inspection can spot potential problems. Mold, on the other hand, is frequently hidden from view. Even if mold is developing within the walls, beneath the carpeting, or around the plumbing, a home might easily pass a basic home inspection.

You and your family will have already moved in by the time it becomes visible (if at all). Too many families are unaware that their house has mold issues until they begin to experience physical symptoms like respiratory problems, sinus issues, memory loss, and/or eye and skin irritations.

Your only option at this point is to flee your home and perhaps spend tens of thousands of dollars on expert cleaning and repairs, not to mention the anguish, discomfort, and cost of medical treatment.

A skilled and registered mold inspector could help you save tens of thousands of dollars while also protecting your family's health!

Spanos Environmental offers three levels of mold testing services. After reading through our services, please feel free to call us if you aren’t sure which one is right for you

Mold Testing Services

Mold Assessments

Mold Assessments are frequently ordered by homeowners who know or suspect the presence of mold. It will detect the presence of any microbial problem in readily accessible areas of the property by following prescribed mold testing protocols.

Our mold assessment service includes but is not limited to Air Samples, Tape Lift Samples, Swab Samples, and/or Bulk Samples.

Environmental Mold And Mycotoxin Assessment (EMMA)

This Environmental Mold and Mycotoxin Assessment uses sensitive molecular detection technology to look for the presence of 10 of the most toxigenic molds AND 15 of the most poisonous mycotoxins. It determines their presence and determines their relative abundance. EMMA also tests directly for 15 of the most poisonous Mycotoxins using its patented Mycotoxin detection test.

Environmental Relative Moldiness Index testing (ERMI testing)

Mold Testing in Homes Utilizing Advanced DNA Testing Techniques. Spanos Environmental provides the EPA’s ERMI testing methodology to help protect families from the hazards of exposure to elevated levels of fungi. Exposure to elevated levels of mold can trigger asthma episodes in sensitive individuals, allergic reactions, and even cause fungal infections in people with compromised immune systems.

Mold Remediation Protocol and PRV

Mold Remediation Protocol Development and Writing

Remediation protocol development and Writing.

Spanos Environmental develops comprehensive remediation protocols in accordance with ANSI/IICRC S500 and S520 Standards, EPA Guidelines, and OSHA Regulations.

What is a Mold Remediation Protocol?


A mold remediation protocol is a clear, written plan that tells the remediation contractor exactly how to remove mold safely and correctly. It’s designed to protect your home or building, prevent the mold from spreading, and make sure the work can be checked and confirmed when it’s done.

At Spanos Environmental, we write detailed remediation protocols based on widely recognized industry standards and safety guidelines, including:

ANSI/IICRC S500 & S520 (industry standards for water damage and mold remediation)

EPA guidelines

OSHA safety regulations

When we combine the protocol with the information we gathered during your moisture mapping inspection, it creates a step-by-step plan that targets the problem areas and helps the remediation go smoothly.

Why is a Remediation Protocol Important?
1) It prevents mold from spreading

A good protocol explains the set-up and protections needed before work begins—like containment barriers, negative air machines, and safe work paths—so contaminated materials don’t cross-contaminate clean areas.

2) It gives a clear step-by-step removal plan

The protocol outlines what materials need to be removed (drywall, insulation, flooring, etc.) based on what was found during the inspection, and it provides a sequence of steps so the job is done thoroughly and safely.

3) It sets clear cleaning methods and “pass/fail” goals

A protocol includes standard cleaning and decontamination methods for materials that remain, along with the clearance criteria—the measurable goals the contractor should meet so the space can be returned to normal use as efficiently as possible.

What You Receive

When you hire Spanos Environmental to develop a Mold Remediation Protocol, you receive a clear, contractor-ready plan that tells everyone exactly what to do—step by step—to remove mold safely and effectively.

Included in Your Remediation Protocol

Plain-language scope of work
A written summary of what areas are affected and what the remediation should address.

Site preparation & containment plan
Instructions to prevent mold from spreading to clean areas (barriers, negative air, work pathways, protecting belongings, etc.).

Safety guidance (PPE & work practices)
Recommendations for appropriate personal protective equipment and safe procedures during removal and cleanup.

Step-by-step removal instructions
Clear directions for removing affected materials identified during the inspection (such as drywall, insulation, flooring, or contents, when applicable).

Cleaning & decontamination methods
Standardized methods for cleaning remaining surfaces and materials to reduce and remove contamination.

Drying and moisture control recommendations
Guidance to correct moisture conditions so mold is less likely to return (based on moisture mapping findings).

Equipment recommendations
Suggested tools and controls such as HEPA air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, dehumidifiers, and other needed components.

Waste handling & disposal guidance
How contaminated materials should be bagged, moved, and disposed of to avoid cross-contamination.

Clearance criteria guidance
The measurable “done right” targets the remediation should meet so the space is ready for post-remediation verification/clearance testing.

For an additional Cost we offer and recommend a Post Remediation Verification (PRV) Testing. We fail 50 % of the remediations we Post Test.
So, once we write your Remediation Protocol ask us about the PRV and the excellent companies we currently recommend to do you remediation.

Florida Law states that a company can either do the Assessment and Protocol writing or they can do the Remediation. This keeps everyone in their license and accountable to the process to make you as the customer whole in the end as much as possible.

Mycotoxin Testing of the Air and the Surfaces

1 out of 5 people are susceptible to mold growing in their bodies. When this happens it changes your whole life. Let us test your environment at this deep level to see if you have Mycotoxins in your environment. Once we test your environment, then we write a protocol for proper remediation.
