Mold Assessment in Fort Lauderdale, FL

M&P Consulting Engineers provides mold assessment and moisture intrusion investigation for property owners, condominium associations, and insurers throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Jonnatan R. Mendez, PE, SI, is a licensed mold assessor and a structural engineer, so the assessment follows the water back to where it enters the building. Call 866-531-7621.

Mold Inspection in Fort Lauderdale Starts With the Water

Mold is a moisture problem first. Our mold inspection in Fort Lauderdale documents where growth is, how far it extends, and which leak, envelope failure, or humidity condition is feeding it.


Removing mold without fixing the water source means paying for remediation twice. The assessment gives the remediator a defined scope and gives the owner a repair list for the cause.

An Assessment Kept Separate From the Remediation Bid

Florida law bars the company that assesses a building for mold from remediating that same building within 12 months. That keeps the scope honest: the report says what needs removing and why, with no remediation contract riding on the answer.

Condos and Multi-Unit Buildings in Broward County

In a condominium, water from one unit, a balcony, or a roof often shows up as mold in another. We trace that path so the association and the owners know where the water entered and whose repair it is.


For claims and disputes, the same finding can be written to the standard of our forensic engineering reports  for carriers and counsel.

Storm Water, Humidity, and Mold in Fort Lauderdale

On April 12, 2023, Fort Lauderdale recorded 25.91 inches of rain in a single day, the wettest day in the city's history. Where water got into wall cavities or under flooring and was not fully dried, mold can surface months later.


Beachfront towers, Intracoastal and canal-front homes, and older concrete block houses each let water in differently. We check the envelope, roof, windows, and plumbing that apply to the building in front of us.

Common Questions About Mold Assessment in Fort Lauderdale

  • Is Jonnatan licensed to perform mold assessments in Florida?

    Yes. Florida requires a state license for mold assessment work over 10 square feet, and Jonnatan R. Mendez holds a mold assessor license alongside his PE and SI credentials.

  • Can the company that inspects for mold also remove it?

    Not in Florida. A mold assessor's company cannot remediate the same building within 12 months of assessing it, so you hire a separate licensed remediator to work from our scope.

  • Our unit dried out after a leak. Do we still need a mold assessment?

    It depends on how long materials stayed wet. EPA guidance treats 24 to 48 hours as the window before mold can start growing, so drywall and flooring that stayed damp longer are worth checking.

  • How quickly can you get to a Fort Lauderdale property?

    Call 866-531-7621 with the address and what you are seeing, and we will give you a timeline on the call.
