Mold & air quality

Mold inspection & testing

Discuss a moisture, odor or mold concern, whether sampling will help, and what the results can—and cannot—tell you.

Timing
Laboratory results can take 2–4 business days; no same-day laboratory promise
Scope, limitations & sources

Mold inspection and mold testing answer different questions. An inspection concerns the property and the observed problem; testing involves samples. EPA says that in most cases, sampling is unnecessary when mold is already visible.

  • Testing cannot certify a property as mold-free or guarantee that it is safe for every occupant.
  • Sampling does not automatically identify or resolve the source of moisture. Do not treat a result as a substitute for addressing an ongoing leak.
  • This service is not a medical diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional about symptoms or individual health concerns.
  • Mold testing is not automatically a test for every indoor air pollutant, and this page does not include a remediation or treatment promise.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

Mold & air quality

Indoor air-quality testing

Start with the air-quality concern you want to investigate, then discuss the relevant testing scope and its limits.

Timing
Laboratory results can take 2–4 business days; no same-day laboratory promise
Scope, limitations & sources

Indoor air quality is broader than mold alone. An air-quality test should have a defined scope; do not assume that one service measures every possible pollutant or certifies the air as universally safe.

  • A test with a defined scope does not measure every possible indoor air pollutant.
  • Results cannot guarantee the same conditions throughout a building or under every future condition.
  • Testing is not a medical assessment or a guarantee of healthy or safe air for every occupant.
  • General EPA discussion of pollutants is not a list of substances Kerwin tests for. Confirm the actual scope before booking.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

Home inspections

Home inspections for buyers

A purchase-focused inspection, size-based starting prices and a same-day home-inspection report to support your next questions.

Timing
Same-day home-inspection report delivery
Scope, limitations & sources

A purchase home inspection serves a different purpose from a four-point insurance inspection. Choose a purchase-focused inspection for your buying questions, and discuss any separately requested insurance forms or specialty services before booking.

  • A home inspection is not a guarantee of future condition or a substitute for discussing the actual inspection scope and access limitations.
  • Do not assume specialist testing, insurance forms or treatment services are included in the purchase inspection.
  • An inspection report does not decide whether you should buy the property or whether an insurer will accept it.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

Home inspections

New-construction inspections

Discuss an inspection for a newly built property, with scope and access matched to the home and your decision deadline.

Timing
Confirm the particular report or service timeline before booking
Scope, limitations & sources

New-construction inspections are offered. The appropriate scope depends on the property and access available; this service is not advertised as a code-compliance certification or a fixed series of construction-stage inspections.

  • This page does not promise inspections at unconfirmed construction or warranty stages.
  • An inspection is not a code-compliance certification, builder warranty or guarantee of future performance.
  • Access and the condition of the property at the appointment can affect what can be evaluated. Discuss those constraints in advance.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

Insurance & specialty

Four-point inspections

An insurance-focused inspection of roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC; confirm your insurer’s form and acceptance requirements.

Timing
Confirm the particular report or service timeline before booking
Scope, limitations & sources

A four-point inspection focuses on roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems for insurance underwriting. The insurer decides its required form, report age and acceptance criteria; an inspection does not guarantee coverage.

  • A four-point inspection is limited in purpose and does not replace a full purchase home inspection.
  • The insurer—not the inspection company—decides acceptance, eligibility and any required repairs.
  • General state or insurer guidance does not establish an individual inspector’s qualifications. Confirm the required qualifications and acceptance with your insurer before booking.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

Insurance & specialty

Wind-mitigation inspections

Discuss wind-mitigation documentation for your insurer, with current-form guidance and no promise of a particular credit.

Timing
Confirm the particular report or service timeline before booking
Scope, limitations & sources

A wind-mitigation inspection has a different purpose from a four-point inspection. Florida updated its uniform wind-mitigation form effective April 1, 2026. Get current requirements from your insurer rather than relying on an older form or a promised discount.

  • An inspection does not guarantee premium credits, lower insurance costs or insurance eligibility.
  • A wind-mitigation form does not replace a four-point insurance inspection or a purchase home inspection.
  • Report acceptance depends on current insurer requirements, accurate information and relevant property conditions. Ask the insurer before relying on a prior report.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

Insurance & specialty

Termite inspections

Discuss a termite-inspection request for a purchase or property concern, including the scope and any required document.

Timing
Confirm the particular report or service timeline before booking
Scope, limitations & sources

Termite inspections are offered as a service. Confirm the actual inspection scope and any lender or transaction document requirements before booking; no treatment plan, clearance guarantee or particular credential is promised on this page.

  • This page does not promise treatment, repairs, a termite-free guarantee or future protection.
  • Do not assume the scope covers every concealed condition or every type of pest.
  • A particular transaction document or required qualification must be discussed before booking; no unverified license or certification is claimed here.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

Insurance & specialty

Sewer-scope inspections

Discuss a separate sewer-scope service, the line or concern you want evaluated, access and the agreed deliverable.

Timing
Confirm the particular report or service timeline before booking
Scope, limitations & sources

A sewer-scope inspection is a separately offered service. Clarify which line or area is part of the requested scope, what access is available and what deliverable is included before booking. No repair or future-performance guarantee is advertised.

  • The agreed scope and available access matter; do not assume every part of a sewer system can be evaluated.
  • An inspection is not a repair service or a guarantee against future sewer problems.
  • No particular recording, equipment method or diagnosis of every possible plumbing issue is promised on this page.

Starting estimates only. Confirm property details, requested scope and the total before booking.

03 / A USEFUL STARTING QUESTION

Start with your concern.

The right inquiry begins with the decision you need to make—not an assumed testing package.

Buying a house or condo

06 / SOURCE-GROUNDED BUYING INFORMATION

Questions worth asking.

The Learning Center explains costs, comparisons and testing limits. General guidance does not diagnose a particular property.

Mold & air quality

Mold inspection vs. mold testing: what is the difference?

Understand the difference between investigating a mold concern and sampling, when a test may help, and what to ask before booking.

Key takeaway & references

Start with the question you need answered, not the number of samples you think you need. Ask what an inspection or test will help you decide and what will remain outside its scope.

General mold and air-quality guidance is based on the EPA references below. Kerwin’s service, starting-price and laboratory-timing information was supplied by the company. The EPA references do not verify company methods or credentials.

Mold & air quality

When mold testing may not be needed—and what it cannot prove

EPA says visible mold usually does not require sampling. Learn why more testing is not always more useful, and where a sample’s limits matter.

Key takeaway & references

Skipping unnecessary sampling does not mean ignoring mold. Keep attention on the observed problem and moisture source, and request testing only with a clear purpose and an understanding of its limits.

The limitations and general sampling guidance are drawn from EPA. Kerwin supplied its service, starting-price and timing information. This article is property education, not medical advice or a professional review of your specific home.

Home buying & insurance

Four-point vs. full home inspection: which do you need?

A four-point report serves insurance underwriting, not the same purpose as a purchase inspection. Compare the questions, scope and documents.

Key takeaway & references

First identify who needs the information and what decision it supports: you as a buyer, an insurer evaluating a policy, or both. Then confirm the scope and required documents before booking.

Insurance education is based on the Florida Insurance Consumer Advocate, Citizens and OIR references below. Kerwin supplied its service, home-price and report-timing information. These general sources do not verify company qualifications or insurer acceptance.

Planning & timelines

Home-inspection report vs. laboratory results: plan for both timelines

Kerwin provides same-day home-inspection reports. Mold and air-quality laboratory results can take 2–4 business days. Know which deadline applies.

Key takeaway & references

Match each service to its own deliverable and confirmed timeline. Tell Kerwin about your decision deadline before booking, especially when laboratory results are part of the information you need.

The distinct report and laboratory timelines, confirmed offerings and request-and-follow-up process were supplied by Kerwin Inspections. EPA supplies the general mold-sampling guidance; the Florida consumer guide supplies the insurer-timing context. No outside source is presented as verification of Kerwin’s turnaround.

Choosing an inspector

How to compare South Florida home inspectors

Compare inspection scope, individual credentials, real reports, complete quotes and delivery timelines before choosing a South Florida home inspector.

Key takeaway & references

Choose a provider whose proposed scope answers your questions, whose relevant credentials you can verify and whose deliverables fit your deadline. A higher price, longer report or larger sample count is not proof of a better inspection.

Official DBPR, EPA and Florida Insurance Consumer Advocate guidance supports the attributed technical points. Kerwin supplied its service, pricing and delivery information. These sources do not verify company credentials, report examples, testing methods or insurer acceptance. General comparison questions are editorial guidance, not a ranking.

07 / COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you decide.

What are the published inspection starting prices?

Single-family inspections start at $450 for 800–1,200 square feet. Condo inspections start at $350 through 1,500 square feet of unit interior/living area, for studios and all bedroom counts. Larger eligible properties follow the published size brackets. Mold inspections start at $350 and full air-quality testing at $425. A selected private pool or private garage adds $75 each to a home or condo inspection; each additional testing sample beyond the agreed base scope adds $75. Confirm the property-specific scope and total before booking.

Does same-day delivery apply to laboratory results?

No. Same-day delivery applies only to home-inspection reports. Laboratory results can take 2–4 business days. Confirm insurance and other specialty-document timing separately; a request does not establish availability or a guaranteed appointment.

Where does Kerwin Inspections offer services?

Kerwin serves Miami-Dade County and Broward County. Doral, Pinecrest, Coral Gables, Kendall and Pembroke Pines are priority communities. The directory links all currently published locality guides; it does not imply a branch office or an inspection case in each place. Confirm the exact property location and scheduling with Kerwin.

Do visible mold concerns always require sampling?

No. EPA says sampling is unnecessary in most cases when mold growth is visible. Sampling should have a defined purpose. There are no federal mold or mold-spore limits against which a sample establishes compliance, and a result is not a blanket health or mold-free certificate.

Are testing, insurance forms and shared condo areas included automatically?

No inclusion should be assumed from a starting price. Confirm the inspection purpose, requested reports and separate testing scope. Condo prices use the unit's interior/living area; balconies, terraces, storage, shared amenities, building-wide work and access costs require separate scope confirmation. The $75 private amenity selections do not represent HOA shared-pool or shared-parking inspections.

What information is required to request an inspection?

Name, phone number and email address are required. Property details, service interest and notes are optional. Kerwin follows up to discuss scope, price and scheduling. Sending a request is not an instantly confirmed appointment. This public catalog cannot submit a lead or book an inspection.

Does an air-quality starting price identify every test or included sample?

No. The catalog does not specify a complete analyte panel, laboratory identity, included base sample count or laboratory-fee treatment. Ask which parameters will be tested and how the results will be interpreted for your concern. Mold sampling is not automatically a test for all indoor-air pollutants.

How should I verify the inspector's credentials?

Ask who will perform the work and verify that person's relevant current credentials with the appropriate official authority. This catalog does not publish a verified Kerwin license number or assert insurer acceptance. Apply the same scope, report, quote and credential questions to Kerwin as to another provider.
