Safe Haven Inspections really helped me out when I had a major water leak and subsequent mold growth in the area. The survey and report Landon did was so thorough and I was really impressed with the efficiency of the whole process and how much knowledge he had about the possible repair process. I was able to turn in the report to my landlord and they repaired the damaged areas with no question. Great company to work with! Highly recommend.

Landon was amazing from the first phone call I ever made with him all the way to the very end. Landon sat down with me and explained everything from the beginning of what's going to happen, what I should expect, how long it's going to take, and all the details in between. He was able to email me my invoices as well as the report, and I was easily able to save them to my phone and upload them directly to my insurance carriers app.

Landon was great to work with. Very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. After the appointment he sent a very thorough email explaining everything. I would recommend this company for home mold testing!

I had a bad issue with my roof, in South Florida sometimes its hard to trust contractors. Landon from Safe Haven was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He communicated throughout and answered all my questions. I couldn't have asked for a more thorough inspection and recommend this company for anyone having mold issues in their house.

Why we're different

Assessment is our specialty, and your advantage.

Many companies handle both testing and repairs. We keep our focus on assessment, so our findings stand on their own.

Safe Haven is an independent third-party assessor. Our reports give you an objective, lab-backed picture of your home, along with clear recommendations, and complete freedom to choose your next step.

The independent difference

  • Focused exclusively on inspection and testing
  • Reports written for you, in plain language
  • Third-party accredited lab analysis
  • Objective evaluation of any remediation proposals you receive
  • Post-remediation verification testing available

From the founder

"I'm a lifelong South Florida resident, born and raised here. I wanted to build something trustworthy in the place I grew up in, for the people who live here. Safe Haven is a small, family-operated company, and the people I work with are people I've come to know and trust in this community."

"My background is in remediation. I spent years doing the hands-on cleanup work and learning which techniques actually work, so when I inspect your home, I'm not guessing at what a remediation job will take. I know the process start to finish."

Our equipment

Professional-grade tools, top to bottom.

We invest in the same equipment used by industrial hygienists, because catching hidden moisture and mold requires more than a flashlight.

Moisture meters

Pin and pinless meters to detect elevated moisture in drywall, wood, and flooring.

Infrared / thermal cameras

Locate hidden leaks and cold-spot condensation without cutting into walls.

Air sampling pumps

Calibrated pumps with spore-trap cassettes for accurate indoor and outdoor comparisons.

Common symptoms

  • Chronic sinus congestion
  • Coughing or wheezing
  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • Headaches or fatigue
  • Asthma flare-ups
  • Skin irritation

Your family's health

Mold hides. Its effects don't.

Mold thrives inside walls, under floors, and in HVAC systems, especially after leaks, storms, or long-term humidity. Long before you see it, it can trigger respiratory issues, allergies, and worsen asthma for children, elderly family members, and anyone with a weakened immune system.

Catching mold early protects your family and your property. An independent inspection tells you exactly what's there: before it turns into a much bigger, much more expensive problem.

Storm & water damage

After a Storm, Leak, or Flood?

South Florida's hurricanes, heavy rain, roof leaks, and plumbing failures create exactly the damp, humid conditions mold needs to take hold. Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water intrusion, often behind walls or under flooring where you can't see it.

A fast, independent assessment tells you whether you have a problem before it spreads, damages more of your home, or complicates an insurance claim.

Hidden moisture

Water travels through drywall, flooring, and framing long before it shows.

24–48 hours

Mold can begin colonizing surfaces within a day or two of water intrusion.

Insurance-ready

Independent, lab-backed documentation to support your claim.

Peace of mind

Know exactly what's there (and what isn't) before repairs begin.

Greenacres, FL

Greenacres-specific moisture concerns

Greenacres is dominated by 1970s and 1980s CBS single-family homes on modest slab-on-grade lots. That construction generation has a very predictable failure pattern: aging galvanized supply lines that sweat inside wall cavities, single-pane aluminum windows whose sills stain and rot, and original flat-tile roofs whose underlayment has aged out even when the tile still looks intact from the ground. We consistently find mold at ceiling perimeters below roof valleys and around bathroom windows that have never been resealed.

The other Greenacres driver is HVAC that has been patched rather than replaced. In an affordable-housing market, owners understandably keep older systems running past their useful dehumidification life. The system cools, but indoor humidity stays high, and mold appears on primary-bedroom exterior walls, inside master closets, and on the underside of ceiling drywall in the coolest rooms in the house. Our inspection includes humidity logging and mechanical-closet checks to catch this directly.

Frequently asked

Straight answers to common questions.

Do you also do mold removal?+
No. Our specialty is assessment. We inspect, test, and report, so the findings you receive are fully objective. If remediation turns out to be needed, our report gives you everything required to hire the right company with confidence, and we can verify the work afterward.
What's the difference between a mold assessment and mold remediation?+
An assessment identifies whether mold is present, where it is, what's causing it, and how severe it is, backed by lab testing. Remediation is the physical removal and cleanup. We handle the assessment side independently.
Do I need to leave my home during the inspection?+
No. You're welcome to stay. Most homeowners like to walk through with us so we can point out what we're seeing in real time.
How long does the inspection take?+
Most residential mold inspections take about 60–120 minutes on site, depending on the size of the home and how many areas of concern we need to evaluate.
How soon will I get my results?+
Field observations and moisture data are captured the day of the visit. Lab-analyzed samples and the written report are typically delivered within 24 hours.
What does a mold inspection cost?+
Every home is different: square footage, number of areas of concern, and how many samples the job actually needs all factor in. We give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins, with no surprise fees. Call (561) 632-6387 or request an inspection for exact numbers.
Do you test for asbestos as well as mold?+
Yes. Landon is a certified asbestos inspector on top of his Florida mold assessor license, so popcorn ceilings, floor tile, and pipe wrap can be sampled on the same visit as the mold inspection. Results come back from an accredited lab within 24 hours. See asbestos testing for what we sample and how it works. We test only, and never remove.
Our Greenacres house is from the 1970s. What's the most likely source?+
Two things, both age-related. Aging galvanized supply lines sweat and seep inside wall cavities long before anything reaches the surface: the drywall face can look perfect while the cavity behind stays damp. The second is HVAC that has been repaired rather than replaced. An older system still cools, so it feels like it's working, but it has lost the ability to actually dehumidify. Indoor humidity climbs and mold appears on the coolest surfaces in the house. Moisture meters and thermal imaging locate both without opening walls.
Is Greenacres in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone?+
No. The Florida Building Code defines the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone as Broward and Miami-Dade counties only, so Greenacres (in Palm Beach County) is built to the standard statewide code rather than HVHZ requirements. That matters for moisture because the housing stock here is mixed: homes with original single-glazed openings and more incidental air exchange sit alongside newer or impact-retrofitted homes that seal far tighter. The two fail in opposite ways: older homes tend to let water in at windows, doors, and roof penetrations, while tighter homes trap humidity and condense it on cool interior surfaces. We test for both rather than assuming which one you have.
Which areas do you serve?+
We serve Martin, Palm Beach & Broward Counties across South Florida's Treasure Coast and Gold Coast region.
