Mold inspection in Wynwood: what to know
Wynwood's industrial and warehouse buildings — many repurposed as art galleries, studios, and mixed-use spaces — have flat roofs and minimal insulation that create extreme attic and roof-deck heat and humidity, driving rapid mold growth after any roof membrane failure.
The neighbourhood's rapid gentrification has produced many renovation projects in buildings not remediated after historic flooding — mold discovered during demolition is common in older Wynwood industrial stock.
Mold conditions in Wynwood

How we handle mold inspection in Wynwood
A mold inspection is the essential first step before any remediation work. A licensed mold assessor conducts a systematic visual survey of the property, uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate hidden wet areas, and collects air or surface samples where mold is suspected or confirmed. Samples are sent to an accredited AIHA laboratory for species identification and spore-count analysis.
Under the NYS 2015 Mold Law and analogous Florida and New Jersey regulations, the mold assessor and the mold remediator must be separate companies. This independence protects homeowners from inflated scopes and conflicts of interest. MoldAct works exclusively with licensed, independent assessors in each market.
