Ongoing Work in Tampa Bay
In the wake of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, the Tampa Bay area has
experienced a long road to recovery. Flooding, water intrusion, and structural damage
affected homes, businesses, and entire neighborhoods many of which are still in the
rebuilding process. At Eco Mold Testing, we’ve been proud to serve as a trusted
environmental testing partner during these critical times.
Rebuilding Starts with Answers
Long before drywall is replaced or a fresh coat of paint is applied, the most important
first step is environmental testing. Hidden mold, asbestos, lead, and bacteria from
floodwaters can quietly compromise indoor air quality and future structural safety.
Testing isn’t just about checking a box it’s about protecting health, investments, and
peace of mind.
"You can't rebuild on top of a problem you can't see", says Andrew Sharpless,
Owner of Eco Mold Testing. “We’re not just testing materials we’re restoring
confidence for the families and businesses that call Tampa Bay home.”
Our Tampa Bay Commitment
Since these storms hit, our team has traveled to the Tampa Bay, providing
environmental testing for:
Mold
Water and moisture intrusion
Asbestos
Lead
Bacteria
Indoor air quality concerns after storm damage
Our approach follows a phased environmental testing process, which allows us to
address immediate concerns first and then monitor conditions over time:
Phase 1: Initial Inspection: Moisture Mapping
We identify immediate threats and moisture-prone areas to prevent further mold growth
and deterioration.
Phase 2: Detailed Environmental Sampling
Air and surface samples are taken to detect mold spores, bacteria lead dust, and other
contaminants not visible to the naked eye.
Phase 3: Mold Protocol: Clearance Testing
If needed, we provide a comprehensive Mold Protocol, outlining the exact
remediation steps and testing for clearance post-cleanup.
Ongoing Recovery, Lasting Partnerships
Tampa Bay is still in recovery mode and Eco Mold Testing is committed to seeing it
through. We work with both residents and commercial property owners, and we’re
often called on by local restoration companies to serve as an independent, third-party
testing provider.
As rebuilding continues, we’re proud to deliver accurate, ethical, and expert
environmental testing for the communities we’ve grown to know and care about.
