Assessment only — we never sell remediation, so there is no incentive to over-test or inflate scope. Full diagnostic instrumentation reads the building first, and sampling is recommended only when the data justifies it.
Serving Downtown, Northwood, Flamingo Park, El Cid, Grandview Heights, SoSo, and all of Palm Beach County.
Independent by Design
The value of an assessment depends on who is paying for the answer. Because Coastal Air Assessments performs assessment only and never cleanup, the findings are not shaped by what the answer is worth.
We do not perform cleanup, so a finding is never a sales lead. Florida Statute §468.8419 bars the same company from assessing and remediating the same project.
Sampling is recommended only when the diagnostic data calls for it. Sometimes the right number of samples is zero — and we will tell you so.
The report documents what the instruments and accredited lab actually show — not a scope sized to justify a cleanup bid.
The difference comes down to who profits from the result:
Scope set by instrument and lab data · sampling only where justified · "you don't need testing" is a possible answer · report written for insurance, legal, and real estate use.
Scope can track the size of the cleanup bid · incentive to find more · "free inspection" recovered through the remediation contract · findings and the work paid by the same hand.
100+ Google Reviews
Based on 100+ verified Google reviews across Palm Beach County — consistently noting thoroughness, unbiased guidance, and clear reporting.
“Cory King did my mold inspection and did an amazing thorough job. He is friendly, professional and a man of integrity. I highly recommend him.”
“Cory’s expertise and clear communication was a welcome relief in working with multiple contractors on a project. Highly recommend.”
“What a great experience! Cory was professional, efficient and on time. He has a machine where he is able to get mold readings immediately which expedited the process. Highly recommend.”
“Coastal Air responded promptly and gave excellent direction to the remediator and provided the documentation my homeowner’s insurance needed. I appreciate the time Cory spent explaining his findings.”
Local Building Science
West Palm Beach has one of the most diverse building stocks in South Florida. Different eras and construction types fail in different ways — here is what we actually see.
Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Grandview Heights homes from the 1920s–30s often have original plumbing, inadequate bathroom ventilation, and no vapor barrier in the envelope.
HVAC condensation and water intrusion at balcony sliding-door thresholds are recurring issues in downtown and Intracoastal condominium buildings.
Flat and low-slope roofs common on older commercial and mid-century residential buildings develop drainage failures that drive concealed moisture into assemblies.
Continuous cooling and oversized systems create persistent cold-surface condensation — a quiet, ongoing moisture source independent of any leak.
Seasonal and snowbird units closed for months without adequate HVAC cycling accumulate humidity and biological growth that surfaces when the property reopens or lists.
Hurricane and tropical-storm water events that were incompletely dried or improperly repaired leave concealed moisture behind finishes long after the storm.
Scoped to the Building
Not every property needs every testing method. Methods are grouped below by investigative function and deployed based on what the building and the complaint indicate.
Systematic visual inspection of accessible areas and quantified moisture readings with a Protimeter MMS2 — documented levels, not subjective observation.
Thermal imaging locates temperature differentials behind surfaces; dew point analysis identifies where condensation is likely forming. Together they direct where to confirm moisture.
A particle counter, CO₂ monitoring, and InstaScope® real-time airborne detection read the air before any lab sample is placed.
Air spore-trap and surface tape-lift or swab sampling, analyzed by an accredited independent laboratory — placed only where the diagnostic data warrants it.
A written report covering methodology, instrumentation, lab data, findings, and recommendations — built to withstand insurance, legal, and transaction scrutiny.
The Instrument Is Not the Product
Anyone can buy the instruments. What matters is the decision each reading informs — the interpretation built from 1,000+ buildings assessed.
Quantifies airborne particulate load — informs whether and where air sampling is warranted.
Identifies surfaces at condensation risk — informs where hidden moisture is likely forming.
Evaluates ventilation adequacy — informs whether a complaint is ventilation- or contamination-driven.
Reveals temperature differentials behind surfaces — informs where to confirm moisture with contact meters.
Quantifies moisture in building materials — informs the extent and source of intrusion.
The Process
We discuss the concern, symptom history, and any water events before scheduling the right assessment.
Calibrated instruments read the building — moisture, thermal, particle, dew point, and CO₂.
We recommend sampling only where the diagnostic data justifies it — sometimes none.
A written report with accredited lab data, findings, and prioritized next steps.
A re-check 3–6 months later turns a snapshot into a documented trend.
The Deliverable
The written report is the product. Every assessment delivers documentation built to be acted on — and to hold up to outside scrutiny.

Peace of Mind, Documented
For about the price of one competitor assessment, you get two documented inspections 3–6 months apart — so you can see whether conditions are stable, improving, or changing. A trend, not a snapshot.
A full diagnostic and a DMAT-style written report establishing the building’s documented baseline condition.
A re-baseline at 3 or 6 months, compared against Visit 1 to reveal the direction conditions are heading.
Document a newly bought West Palm Beach home or condo so any future change is measured against a known starting point.
Compare a property across the humid and dry seasons — ideal for seasonal residences and units that sit closed.
Confirm that a repair or moisture correction actually held by re-measuring the building months later.
