Independent by design.
The most important thing about a mold inspection is who's giving it. Here's what sets Sterling apart, and why Florida law keeps our inspections independent.
Short answer
Sterling inspects, tests when warranted, and verifies other companies' remediation. We also remediate mold and dry out water damage, but never inspect and remediate the same home within 12 months. Florida law requires that, and it means our findings serve your decision, not our invoice.
Truly independent
Florida law bars us from remediating a home we inspected for 12 months, so our recommendations reflect your property — not a remediation invoice.
Whole-building diagnostics
We investigate moisture across the building, not just collect a single air sample.
Clear, documented reporting
Photos, readings, plain-language findings, and honest limitations you can actually use.
Calm and factual
No scare tactics, no exaggerated claims. Just what we found and what to do about it.
Science-based method
Thermal imaging and moisture metering used to answer real questions — with results explained.
Local knowledge
We understand the moisture conditions Treasure Coast properties actually face.
We earn the same whether we find a problem or not. That is exactly what makes the finding worth trusting.
Two very different incentives.
One company inspecting and remediating the same home
- Earns more when more work is recommended
- May lean on a single air sample to justify a job
- Inspects and then clears its own remediation
Sterling — licensed for both, never both on one home
- Earns the same on your inspection regardless of what's found
- Investigates the moisture source, not just a number
- When we remediate, an independent assessor runs the clearance
