A moisture meter reading of 230 at a ceiling is a red flag. That number tells us water is active in the material above, likely from a roof leak, AC condensate line, or plumbing in the attic. The surface may look fine, but the meter does not lie.
Ceiling stains and bubbling paint are late-stage symptoms. By the time you see them, moisture has often been sitting in the drywall and insulation for weeks, and hidden growth can follow. A professional mold assessment starts with moisture mapping to find the source and extent of the intrusion, then mold testing and IAQ testing to determine whether spores have spread into your living space. All findings are documented and interpreted under IICRC S520 and ASTM D7338-14 guidance, so you have defensible data rather than a guess.
Here is what makes us different from a company offering free inspections. Coastal Air Assessments is an independent third-party consultant serving Stuart, Palm City, and the Treasure Coast. We perform no remediation, abatement, or removal of any kind, so we have no financial interest in the outcome of any assessment. And if remediation has already been completed, our post remediation verification provides independent mold clearance before you accept the contractor's work as finished.
