Testing Process
How do we test for VOCs?
Elite’s Professional VOC testing provides homeowners, business owners, property managers, and real estate professionals throughout Central Florida with valuable information about chemical contaminants that may be affecting indoor air quality. Whether you’re evaluating a newly constructed home, investigating persistent odors, or assessing a property after renovations or fire damage, VOC testing helps identify potential indoor air quality concerns and supports informed decisions for creating a healthier indoor environment.
Property Evaluation –
Our inspector discusses your concerns, recent renovations, water or fire damage, new furnishings, chemical use, and any health symptoms experienced by occupants.
Visual Inspection –
Areas that may be contributing to VOC emissions, such as new flooring, paint, cabinetry, furniture, adhesives, or stored chemicals, are identified.
Air Sampling –
Specialized VOC monitoring equipment or air sampling devices collect indoor air samples from one or more locations throughout the property.
Laboratory Analysis –
Samples are sent to an accredited laboratory to identify and quantify specific volatile organic compounds present in the air.
Results Interpretation –
We obtain results within 3-4 days of the appointment and a detailed report is issued identifying the types and levels of the VOCs within the property.
What symptoms may indicate elevated VOC levels?
Elite Mold Services provides comprehensive volatile organic compound services for residential and commercial properties throughout Orlando, Tampa, and Central Florida. Our thorough testing process helps identify hidden contaminations.

What is VOC testing?
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) testing measures the concentration of airborne chemical compounds inside a home or commercial building. These compounds can be released from paints, cleaning products, flooring, furniture, adhesives, fuel, and other common materials that may impact indoor air quality.
Why should I have VOC testing performed in Central Florida?
VOC testing helps identify chemical pollutants that may affect the health and comfort of building occupants. In Central Florida, where homes and businesses are often tightly sealed to improve energy efficiency, indoor chemicals can accumulate if ventilation is inadequate. Testing provides valuable information about your property’s indoor air quality.
What are common sources of VOCs inside a building?
Common VOC sources include fresh paint, stains, varnishes, new carpeting, vinyl flooring, composite wood products, cabinetry, furniture, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, pesticides, adhesives, gasoline, and smoke from fireplaces or fire-damaged materials.
What symptoms may indicate elevated VOC levels?
People exposed to elevated VOC levels may experience headaches, dizziness, eye, nose, or throat irritation, fatigue, respiratory discomfort, or strong chemical odors. If symptoms improve after leaving the building, professional VOC testing may help determine whether indoor air quality is a contributing factor.
Is VOC testing beneficial for commercial buildings?
Absolutely. Offices, medical facilities, schools, retail stores, apartment complexes, and industrial buildings can all benefit from VOC testing. Maintaining good indoor air quality supports occupant comfort, employee well-being, and a healthier indoor environment for customers and visitors.
Can VOC testing be combined with other indoor air quality services?
Yes. VOC testing is frequently performed alongside mold testing, allergen testing, particulate matter (particle counting), combustion byproduct testing, humidity measurements, and ventilation assessments. Combining multiple indoor air quality tests provides a more complete picture of the building’s environmental conditions.

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 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.

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.
