Mold Inspection Jacksonville: Protecting Your Home and Health

Mold is more than just an eyesore. It can cause serious damage to your property and even greater harm to your health if left unchecked. At First Coast Contracting, we offer professional mold inspection services in Jacksonville and nearby areas, helping homeowners identify hidden mold issues early and take action before the problem grows worse.

With over 50 years of combined experience in restoration and home repair, we understand what it takes to find mold where it hides and offer solutions that last. Whether you’re dealing with recent water damage or simply want peace of mind, our team is here to help.

Why Mold Inspection Matters in Jacksonville

Living in a humid climate like Jacksonville increases the risk of mold growth inside homes. Frequent storms, high moisture levels, and older housing in areas like Riverside, Arlington, and San Marco can all contribute to hidden mold issues. In many cases, the signs aren’t obvious—musty odors, unexplained allergies, or subtle wall discoloration can be the only clues.

Getting a mold inspection in Jacksonville isn’t just about spotting surface growth. It’s about identifying water intrusion, pinpointing hidden mold behind walls or under floors, and preventing long-term damage to your home’s structure and indoor air quality.

Our Mold Inspection Process

At First Coast Contracting, we follow a clear and detailed process for every mold inspection in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and nearby communities. Our focus is on providing accurate assessments, honest recommendations, and professional service from start to finish.

Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation to understand your concerns. Whether you’ve had recent water damage, noticed a strong odor, or simply want a routine inspection before buying or selling a home, we tailor the inspection to your needs.

Visual Inspection

Our trained professionals conduct a thorough visual examination of the property. We look for visible signs of mold, moisture stains, and areas prone to water intrusion—like bathrooms, kitchens, attics, crawl spaces, and around windows or roofing.

Moisture Mapping and Detection

Using moisture meters and infrared imaging, we locate damp areas that may be hiding mold beneath the surface. This step is critical in Jacksonville homes, especially in flood-prone areas like Atlantic Beach or Orange Park, where moisture can linger long after visible signs disappear.

Air and Surface Sampling (If Needed)

If mold is suspected but not visible, we may recommend air quality testing or surface sampling. These samples are sent to certified labs to identify mold types and concentrations. This helps us determine whether a problem exists and how serious it is.

Detailed Report and Recommendations

After the inspection, we provide a written report that includes findings, images, and recommendations for cleanup or further action if needed. Our goal is to give you clear, honest information so you can make informed decisions.
