Indoor Air Quality & Environmental Testing in Orlando, FL
Professional Air, Mold, Radon & Water Testing
The quality of the air and water inside your home can affect both your property and the people living in it. 5 Star Building Inspections provides professional environmental testing services throughout Orlando and Central Florida, including indoor air quality testing, mold sampling, radon testing, asbestos sampling, and water quality testing.
Our testing services use professional equipment and laboratory analysis when required to provide clear, reliable results. Whether you are buying a home, investigating a potential environmental concern, or simply want more information about the condition of your property, our team can help you determine which testing services are appropriate.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
Indoor air can contain airborne particles, mold spores, allergens, and other contaminants that are not always visible during a standard home inspection. Our indoor air quality testing can help evaluate conditions inside the home and identify potential concerns that may warrant further investigation.
Testing can be particularly useful when there are musty odors, previous water intrusion, visible staining, suspected mold growth, or concerns about the indoor environment.
Mold Inspection & Mold Sampling
Florida's warm, humid climate can create favorable conditions for mold growth, particularly when moisture intrusion, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, or elevated indoor humidity are present. Our mold testing services can help determine whether suspected growth or elevated airborne mold spores are present and provide laboratory documentation that can help guide the next steps.
Our mold sampling services can include air samples and surface samples based on conditions observed at the property. Samples are submitted to a qualified laboratory for analysis to help identify the presence and types of molds detected.
When appropriate, our inspectors can also use thermal imaging and moisture-detection equipment to help locate areas of elevated moisture that may contribute to mold growth.
Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. Testing is the only reliable way to determine the radon level within a home.
5 Star Building Inspections provides professional radon testing throughout Orlando and Central Florida using advanced continuous radon monitoring equipment. Unlike testing methods that require samples to be sent to a laboratory, our equipment provides results immediately at the end of the required testing period—so you are not waiting several additional days for lab results.
This is especially valuable during real estate transactions, where inspection and contingency periods can be short. Our testing provides clear, documented results quickly, helping buyers, sellers, and homeowners make informed decisions without unnecessary delays.
Asbestos Testing & Sampling
Some older homes and buildings may contain materials that could contain asbestos, including certain flooring products, insulation, ceiling materials, siding, and other building components.
When a suspect material is identified, asbestos sampling and laboratory analysis can help determine whether asbestos is present. Testing can be useful before remodeling, renovation, demolition, or when purchasing an older property.
Suspected asbestos-containing materials should not be disturbed unnecessarily, which is why proper sampling and laboratory testing are important.
Well Water & Water Quality Testing
The appearance or taste of water alone cannot confirm whether it is free from potentially harmful contaminants. We offer professional water testing for private wells and residential properties throughout Central Florida.
Testing options include:
Bacteria & E. coli Water Testing
Water can be tested for total coliform bacteria and E. coli, which can help identify possible bacterial contamination of a private well or water supply.
FHA / VA Water Testing
For real estate transactions requiring more comprehensive testing, we can provide a full FHA/VA water quality test suite based on applicable lender requirements. Depending on the required testing protocol, laboratory analysis may include bacteria and additional contaminants commonly required for private-well financing.
Because lender requirements can vary, we recommend confirming the required testing panel with the buyer's lender before sampling.
