Results can help identify potential risks and guide appropriate corrective actions to improve water system safety.

What is Legionella?
Legionella is a naturally occurring bacteria that can grow in building water systems, particularly in warm, stagnant water. When contaminated water droplets become airborne and are inhaled, they can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious respiratory illness.
Why is Legionella testing essential?
Legionnaires’ disease, caused by inhaling Legionella bacteria, can lead to serious respiratory problems, including pneumonia. While not everyone exposed becomes ill, those at higher risk include:
- Smokers
- People over 50 years old
- Individuals with chronic health conditions
Regular Legionella testing helps prevent outbreaks and protect the health of those in your building.
How does Legionella get in my water system?
Legionella bacteria can grow in warm, stagnant water environments. Common sources include:
- Hot water tanks and heaters set at low temperatures
- Cooling towers and misting systems
- Plumbing fixtures that are rarely used
When will I get the results?
After collecting, we will carefully rush the sample over to an approved water testing laboratory to begin the analysis process. Typically, you can expect to receive your results within 2 weeks of sample collection.
What happens if Legionella is found in the water system?
If Legionella is detected, corrective actions may include system disinfection, thermal treatment, hyperchlorination, plumbing modifications, enhanced maintenance procedures, and follow-up testing to verify remediation effectiveness.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Eduardo and the entire team. I discovered mold in my mom’s apartment shortly after she had undergone surgery, and she was already dealing with enough physically and emotionally. Eduardo immediately understood that I was trying to get answers without causing her any additional stress. He was incredibly kind and discreet, sharing his concerns with me privately as her caretaker rather than alarming her before we knew exactly what we were dealing with.
Throughout the entire process, communication was excellent. Everything was clearly explained, questions were answered promptly, and the pricing was fair and completely transparent. There were no surprises or attempts to take advantage of an already stressful situation.
Eduardo was compassionate, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about handling a difficult situation the right way. The entire staff was wonderful from beginning to end.
I sincerely hope I never need mold testing again, but if I do, I know exactly who I’ll call. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eduardo and this team to anyone who needs this kind of service. An easy five stars.

Definitely recommend Elite Mold Services! Scheduling with Roxy over the phone was fast and easy. She was very kind and helpful. We were assigned James as our inspector. He was incredibly thorough. After his investigation, he went over everything with us in a way that showed he was knowledgeable and caring. The way he shared everything, we felt it easy to follow and trust his observations.
We probably could have done a more focused investigation in certain areas of our home, but having the whole home inspected was helpful and gave us more peace of mind. James was able to detect concerns and things to look out for we wouldn't have otherwise noticed.
With the whole home investigation and adding on air sampling to detect any mold, we ended up paying close to $500. But it was a worth it investment for sure, based on what we got. We received an easy to read report afterward, as well as a call from James to go over the air sample results. Overall, great job Elite Mold! Thank you!!

I received excellent customer service. Our inspector Roger Rhule was knowledgeable, thorough. He went into the attic to inspect an area where there was water damage to see if there was any active organism growth. He made realistic and conservative recommendations for better indoor air quality. Highly recommend this company.

I had a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious experience with Elite Mold Services from start to finish. Scheduling was easy, they inspected the next day, arrived on time, and the entire process was handled professionally. The inspector, James, was knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to carefully inspect my condominium for mold.
What I appreciated most was how clearly James explained everything to me. He answered all of my questions with patience and honesty, making sure I understood his findings. I also received a written report without delay. It’s clear that James and Elite care about their customers and take pride in doing a thorough job.
I highly recommend Elite! Their professionalism, attention to detail, and outstanding customer service made the entire experience stress-free.
Thank you for giving me such excellent service!

Elite Mold Services were extremely helpful in both setting up an inspection and in going over the results of the sampling. Roger was very knowledgeable about the situation and how mold build-up occured. He's experienced and professional, and took the time to explain each part of the inspection and sampling proccess. If I end up in another situation where I need to hire an inspector, I will be calling Elite Mold Services first.

Elite Mold Services was wonderful to deal with after our recent water leak damage. Their website is easy to utilize. They were excellent with communications, following up with emails and texts to confirm documents and appointments. The tech, Derek, showed on time for our appointment and was efficient and friendly to deal with. His report was forwarded on time and well presented.
If you need to ease your mind about mold in your home, I highly recommend calling Elite.

Delighted! Besides the excellent, timely, respectful, thorough inspection, my wife and I received useful knowledge and recommendations which rounded the experience. There are times you feel like you got what you paid for and others where you want to have someone as your friend because you felt safe and trusted what they told you. James was the ultimate professional, asking about areas of concern, thoughtful in his response, and informative about every aspect. Thanks James and Elite Mold Services keep up the client centeredness!

Derek Downs is the Mold inspector who was amazing. He checked our home thoroughly. He kept my wife and I informed throughout the process. He inspected even under our home. Honesty is the most important part of any inspection. Mr. Downs showed us parts of our house we thought had Mold, and he said those places were fine. The bottom line is I recommend Elite Mold Services for their integrity and honesty.

We were so pleased with the experience we had with Elite Mold Services. Edwardo came to our home in Lakeland and was so knowledgeable and pleasant. He explained everything to us and answered all our questions. He told us when he left that if we had any questions to call him anytime. When I got my report I had some questions and called him. He talked to me at 7:30 pm (my husband and I work nights so this was such a convenience for us) I was so impressed and grateful for his excellent customer service. I highly recommend this company and actually have already recommended them to a close friend.
