About Mold SharkLicensed Florida Mold Assessor Only The Science.
Never The Repair.

Mold Shark is an independent Florida mold assessor firm: founded in Deerfield Beach in 2019, headquartered in Port St. Lucie today, and built on one rule. We inspect, we test, we report. The repair is never ours to sell.

CLIENT REVIEW · ON RECORD
“Donovan is great! He's knowledgeable, responsive and lets you know if he's running late. And, since he can't legally fix any mold problem, he has no vested interest in “finding” one. I consider myself a pretty picky consumer, but I was 100% satisfied with my Mold Shark experience.”

Why Independence Holds

Independence Written Into State Law.

Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators separately, and it draws a hard line between the two. We hold both: Mold Assessor MRSA3341 and Mold Remediator MRSR3507. We still never perform remediation. That is a choice, not a limitation, and it is the whole reason our findings carry no conflict of interest.

FL Statute S. 468.8419

A licensed mold assessor may not perform remediation on a structure the assessor inspected within the preceding 12 months. That makes our independence provable, not just promised: no repair invoice can ever depend on what we find.

The mission has not moved since 2019: protect homes, safeguard health and preserve investments with fast, accurate, unbiased assessments, so families, owners and businesses can make decisions with confidence.

Yes. Mold Shark is a fully independent, licensed mold inspection company. We do not perform remediation, so there is never a conflict of interest, and every sample is analyzed by a third-party accredited laboratory for unbiased, scientifically accurate results.

Mold Shark was wonderful! Donovan was very respectful, and fast. Donovan helped me understand the mold inspection process clearly. I would recommend them to any anyone needing a mold inspection in Vero Beach Florida.

Mold is an issue for me, so I require extra caution when purchasing a property. I used them two times to inspect for a purchase and they are phenomenal. I only trust them when I want to be sure.
Donna Scott3 months ago · Read On Google
I was in need of a last minute mold, moisture, and IAQ inspection. I called Donovan around 11am and within 30 minutes we had the inspection scheduled that day. Donovan arrived same time as me and we went over what I needed and why. The agents and I sat in the kitchen while he carried out his visual inspections at which time he showed me the areas of concern, demonstrating the equipment used revealing moisture. He then gave me the choice of where I wanted air sampling set up before finishing those. He suggested expediting the lab results due to my time constraints allowing me to get his reports before the inspection period ended, a 2 day turnaround.
