Common Questions About Mold Testing Costs
How much does mold testing cost in Florida?
Residential mold testing starts at $500 for up to 4 samples (air and/or surface) plus one exterior control sample. Commercial mold testing starts at $750. Additional samples are $100 each. These are out-of-pocket prices.
Why does mold testing cost vary?
The cost depends on several factors: property size, number of samples needed, extent of suspected mold growth, and type of sampling required. Larger properties or those with extensive suspected mold may require additional samples for accurate assessment.
What is included in professional mold testing?
Professional mold testing includes: visual inspection, moisture meter readings, thermal imaging (infrared), air and/or surface sampling, one exterior control sample, independent third-party laboratory analysis, detailed lab report, and a mold remediation protocol if elevated levels are found.
How many samples are needed for mold testing?
For most residential properties, 4-6 samples provide adequate coverage. This typically includes samples from suspected problem areas, unaffected areas for comparison, and an outdoor control sample. Larger properties or extensive mold issues may require additional samples.
Does insurance cover mold testing?
If you have an active insurance claim for water damage or mold-related issues, your insurance may cover mold testing costs. Dry Florida can bill your insurance company directly if you provide: copy of insurance policy, policy number, active claim number, and signed authorization agreement.
Is cheap mold testing reliable?
Beware of very low-cost mold testing. Professional mold assessment requires specialized equipment, certified laboratory analysis, and a Florida-licensed Mold Assessor. Quality testing uses independent third-party labs (not in-house testing) and provides detailed protocols for remediation if needed.
How fast do results come back?
Same-day or next-day inspection appointments are typically available. Once samples are collected, laboratory analysis usually takes 24-72 hours. You'll receive detailed lab results and a remediation protocol (if needed) within this timeframe.
