Independent assessment & diagnostics

Services

Mold inspection, indoor air quality testing, water and fire damage assessment, LEED consulting and building forensics for homes and businesses across Florida.

Our services: independent testing and assessment, never remediation

As a leader in our field we find it important to stress our independence. As a company we do not perform any of the services that we recommend based on our assessment findings.

That independence means that we have nothing to gain by recommending a service, and only have the customer's best interest at heart.

Post-Fire Contaminant Testing

Fire can be devastating and cause damage beyond the flames themselves. Water damage, soot and air quality are all concerns after a fire.

Got mold? 8 signs you need a professional mold assessment

If any of these sound familiar, an independent assessment tells you exactly what is going on and what to do next.

  • Previous Flood

    Storm surge, roof leaks or a burst pipe leave moisture deep in materials long after the surface looks dry.

  • Deterioration or Warping

    Buckling floors, swollen baseboards and sagging drywall point to a hidden, ongoing moisture source.

  • Humidity & Condensation

    Indoor humidity above 60% and condensation on windows or vents create ideal growing conditions.

  • Unexplained Health Issues

    Allergies, coughing, headaches or fatigue that ease when you leave the building deserve an investigation.

  • Paint Peeling or Chipping

    Bubbling paint and chipping finishes are often the first visible sign of moisture inside a wall.

  • Poor Ventilation

    Bathrooms, laundry rooms and closets without airflow trap moisture and feed growth.

  • Water Leaks

    Even slow leaks under sinks, behind appliances or around AC lines saturate materials over time.

  • Seeing or Smelling Mold

    Visible spots or a persistent musty odor mean growth is already established somewhere nearby.

Questions about the assessment and testing process

What is a mold assessment?

A mold assessment is a licensed, systematic investigation of a property to determine whether mold is present, where it is growing, what species and concentrations are involved, and what moisture source is sustaining it. It ends with a written report and, when needed, a remediation protocol a contractor can follow.

Why do I need a professional assessment? Can't a remediation company just find it?

Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators separately, and the law keeps the roles apart because a company that profits from the repair has an incentive to find more work. An independent assessor defines the scope, the remediator performs it and the assessor verifies it afterwards.

What happens during a UES mold assessment?

Your consultant interviews you about the history and symptoms, performs a forensic visual inspection, takes moisture and humidity readings, uses thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture, collects air and surface samples for an accredited laboratory, and inspects the HVAC system. Results and recommendations are delivered through the UES Client Portal.

Are DIY mold test kits reliable?

Settle-plate kits sold in stores will grow mold almost anywhere because spores are always present, so a positive result tells you very little. They cannot measure concentration, compare indoor to outdoor air or find the moisture source. Professional sampling with laboratory analysis and an inspection is the only reliable approach.

How long does an assessment take?

Most residential assessments take one to three hours on site. Laboratory results usually return within two to three business days, and your full report is then published to your portal.

What is post-remediation verification (PRV) or clearance testing?

PRV is an independent inspection and sampling performed after remediation to confirm the contaminated materials were removed, the area was cleaned to the protocol and spore levels have returned to normal. It is the proof that the job was done right before you rebuild or move back in.

What our clients say

“The owner and her team are incredibly thorough. They spent hours in my home and shared what they were doing along the way. UES goes way beyond what I expected, providing an education along with a comprehensive analysis. A multipage report along with recommendations was professionally presented and staff was available to answer all of my questions. I have complete faith in UES's procedures and findings and highly recommend them with no reservations.”

“No home owner wants to hear the word "mold", but if you do, you need the best to support you through the journey. Ultimate Environmental Solutions (UES) is the best. Initially, I didn't know where to turn and UES was highly recommended to me by a friend. The owner and her team walked me through every step and created a plan of action. They were kind, responsive, professional, but most of all knowledgeable. The thorough protocol report they provided was a valuable asset in claiming mold and water damage compensation from my insurance company. Do not cut corners when it comes to mold. The owner is an expert in her field. She is my trusted ally and truly went above and beyond.”

“If you are wondering who to trust with the health and safety of your family, look no further than UES Ultimate Environmental Solutions, Inc. The owner came out to our home and put my mind and wallet to ease. She was transparent, authentic, and professional. She truly cared about my family and our needs, including financial and wellbeing. It's hard to trust anyone anymore. I promise you; you can trust UES. Once you meet her, you'll immediately know why I felt compelled to leave this review as soon as she left my home. Thank you for UES.”

“Ultimate Environmental Solutions provided the environmental testing during a remediation project due to hurricane damage to one of my commercial office building. I found UES to be very professional and easy to work with. I will definitely reach out to them should the need arise.”

Mary DillardGoogle review · 2025 · Commercial property owner

“My experience with UES was wonderful. The inspector was friendly, professional and thorough. The office staff was very competent and helpful. The mold specialists spent a great deal of time with me on the phone assessing my needs and guiding me to the type of inspection that was right for me, and she was very careful and thorough in explaining to me the results of the lab results. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone searching for mold inspections.”

Patricia McCallGoogle review · 2022

“Unbelievable customer service and professional knowledge even to non-customer!!! Right off the bat, the owner knew her FL company couldn't help my out-of-state situation; yet she spent her time offering me direction, tips, pointers, pointing me to national testing lab and national organizations which may be able to provide environmental test kit and consultants in my state to help me with the vapor invasion situation at my town home. She even helped me understand a bit on everything from typical airflow of building, firewall building code, construction layout of high density residence... The information she gave me will save me hours of researching. A true rarity.”

“Prompt, thorough and efficient. Did an in-depth survey and report of findings, after our recent fire. Not someone I want to see, again, LOL. But, would highly recommend their services.”

“The owner and her team were very thorough and very knowledgeable. We've been dealing with them for a couple years now. Look no further for mold experts.”

Cole KoonGoogle review · Feb 2026

“I highly recommend this company. I used their services on two separate occasions. The owner is awesome. The report was very comprehensive but she still took the time to review it with me by phone to ensure I had all the necessary information. The team are experts in what they do. I found them to be very knowledgeable, punctual and pleasant to work with.”
