The licensed professional behind every Sterling report.
Your inspection is performed by a Florida-licensed mold assessor — not a subcontractor, and not a remediation salesperson.
Short answer
Sterling inspections are carried out by a Florida Licensed Mold Assessor (MRSA5798) with 10+ years of building-science experience across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County — independent, insured, and assessment-only.
Your assessor's focus is building science: how water moves through a structure, why Florida's humidity and cooling loads create hidden moisture, and what the evidence actually supports. The work is methodical and calm — a diagnostic visit, never a sales call.
Because Sterling only assesses and never remediates, there is no incentive to overstate a problem or recommend work we'd be paid to perform. The recommendation reflects your property — nothing else.

Equipment that sees what the eye can't.
Diagnostics do the talking — so findings rest on readings and images, not guesswork.
Infrared thermal imaging
Reveals the temperature signatures that can indicate hidden moisture behind finishes.
Moisture meters (pin & pinless)
Measure dampness in building materials without cutting into them.
Hygrometer
Tracks indoor humidity — a primary driver of Florida mold.
Air & surface sampling pumps
Accredited-lab sampling, used when it will answer a real question.
How the work is held to account.
Independent by design
Assessment-only. Florida law (F.S. 468.8419) separates the mold assessor from the remediator on the same project — Sterling never sells the remediation it might scope.
Recognized standards
Assessments and any remediation protocols reference the IICRC S520 standard for professional mold remediation, so a contractor has a clear, defensible scope to follow.
Documentation that holds up
Every visit produces plain-language findings, moisture readings, and photos — a record buyers, sellers, attorneys, and insurers can rely on.
