Joe Margherita, Florida licensed mold assessor and ACAC Certified Indoor Environmentalist

Founded by a 27-Year Industry Veteran

Mold Inspector Pros was founded by Joe Margherita, a Florida licensed mold assessor (MRSA4534) and ACAC Certified Indoor Environmentalist. Joe spent years in mold removal and restoration before switching to testing only, because he saw how often the company finding the mold was the same company selling the fix. Today, every inspection follows the protocols he developed, and our company never performs remediation. Joe is also a licensed Florida continuing education instructor for Community Association Managers and has been featured on ABC's The Morning Blend.

FAQ

Contact Our Sarasota Mold Testing Specialists Today to Clear The Air About Your Property

How quickly can mold grow after water damage?▾
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, which is why professional testing after any flooding or leak is strongly recommended.
Are DIY mold test kits the same as professional testing?▾
No. We use calibrated professional equipment with samples sent directly to an accredited third-party lab. DIY kits cannot replicate the accuracy of a professional test.
What is included in a mold inspection?▾
Our inspections include a thorough visual assessment of your property, moisture readings with professional meters, thermal imaging where applicable, and a detailed written report of findings.
Do you also do mold remediation?▾
No, and that is by design. We are an independent testing-only company. We have no financial incentive to find mold, which means you get an unbiased, honest assessment every time.
How long does a mold inspection take?▾
Most residential inspections take 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the property. Lab results are typically returned within 24 to 48 hours of sample collection.
What areas do you serve?▾
We are based in Sarasota and serve the entire surrounding Gulf Coast region, including Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and Osprey. If you are outside these areas, please call us to check availability.
Do I need a mold test for a real estate transaction?▾
Many buyers and sellers request mold testing as part of the due diligence process. Our accredited lab reports provide documentation that can be used in negotiations or disclosures.
What is post-remediation verification testing?▾
After mold remediation is completed, we perform independent testing to verify that mold levels have returned to normal. This gives you a written clearance report confirming the work was done properly.
