Solid Ground Mold Inspections · West Palm Beach
Mold inspection in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach piles older houses east of the interstate next to waterfront condos and newer subdivisions farther west. A mold inspection here has to follow the water through that building, not stop at two air cassettes.

How the inspection is done in West Palm Beach
Buyers, owners, and property managers in West Palm Beach usually call for one of three reasons: a roof or plumbing leak, a smell that stayed after the air conditioner was serviced, or a contract deadline. Those are different jobs only at the front door. The assessment itself is still a full pass of the property by an independent mold assessor.
Moisture mapping is the base layer. Readings are taken through the rooms, not only beside the stain someone circled. Thermal imaging shows where a ceiling, a chase, or an exterior wall is cooler than the surfaces around it. In this climate that pattern often lines up with moisture behind paint. It is a map for where to sample, not a lab result.
If the wall needs to be understood without demolishing it, cavity samples and a borescope do that work. That matters in condos, where opening a party wall is not a casual decision, and in older houses around Northwood, Flamingo Park, and the neighborhoods east of I-95, where a small leak can sit in plaster or drywall for a season. Particle counts compare rooms on site. Air samples go to a laboratory.
The air handler is part of the visit whether it sits in a house closet, a garage, or the only mechanical space a condo has. Where the building has an attic, that space is inspected and the ducts are checked for openings that pull hot, humid air into the system. The full checklist lives on the homepage so this page does not pretend a condo and a house are identical.
West Palm Beach and the coast from Port St. Lucie to Miami
Solid Ground Mold Inspections serves West Palm Beach itself, including downtown and the older residential blocks, and the cities people pair with it on the same week: Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and Lake Worth. Lake Worth, where the practice is based, has a separate page because the housing and the usual leak patterns are not the same story as a West Palm Beach high-rise.
Beyond Palm Beach County the route is the same coast: north through Martin County and Port St. Lucie, south through Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Miami. You do not come to an office. This is a service-area business, and the appointment is at the property you need inspected.
Why the assessor does not also remediate
Jason DeFelice does not do mold remediation and does not sell any other inspection service. The report describes the inspection and the lab work. People use it during a purchase, for a landlord or property manager, for an insurance claim, or as the basis of a remediation protocol written by the company that will actually do the cleanup. If that cleanup is already finished, he can return for post-remediation clearance testing. He will not be the contractor who performed the work.
