ABOUT US
Avoid the Damage Pains and Call Hanes
When water, mold, smoke or sewage gets into a Florida property, the expensive mistakes happen in the first 48 hours — the wrong scope, the wrong dry-out, the wrong assumption about what is behind the drywall. We start with evidence, then act on it.
What We Do
Two things, and the order matters.
We find out what is actually wrong. Licensed assessment and accredited lab testing for mold, indoor air quality, water intrusion, smoke and soot, sewage and bacteria. You get a written report with findings, photos, lab data and a defined scope — the document your contractor bids from and your adjuster works from.
We put the property back. Emergency water mitigation, structural drying, fire and smoke restoration, and full contents packout, cleaning and storage. Documented from the first moisture reading to final verification.
Most companies do one or the other and guess at the rest. Alan Hanes has spent 18 years on the diagnostic side of Florida losses, which is why the restoration side is measured instead of estimated.

Why Hanes
Licensed, Not Self-certified
Florida Mold Assessor MRSA #3646, issued by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Florida licenses this work for a reason, and the license number is on every report.
Independent Testing You Can Rely on
Florida law bars a mold assessor from remediating a structure it Assessed within 12 months. We treat that as a feature. Our findings are not a sales document for our own removal work.
Reports That Hold Up
Photographs, moisture readings, lab results, and a scope specific enough to bid. An accreditied lab handles our analysis. Water work follows ANSI/IICRC S500 and mold work follows S520 — named standards, not "industry best practice."
One Responder, Whole Picture
Air, water, structure and contents assessed by the same person who has seen how Florida humidity, slab construction and storm exposure actually behave.
Owner-operated
Alan Hanes is on the job. The person who inspects your property is the person who writes the report and takes your call about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do both the mold testing and the mold removal?
Not on the same property inside 12 months, and that is Florida law rather than a policy choice. Section 468.8419 of the Florida Statutes bars a licensed mold assessor from remediating a structure it assessed in the previous year, and the reverse. We work as your independent assessor: we define the problem, write the remediation protocol, and verify the result after your remediator finishes.
How fast can you get here?
We are based in Palm Bay. Most of Brevard County is inside a timed response window..
Do you work with insurance?
We document losses so the file is complete: photos, moisture maps, lab data, itemized affected materials and contents inventories. We do not adjust claims or negotiate on your behalf, and we do not pay or accept referral fees.

It depends on property size and how many sampling points the situation warrants. We quote before we schedule, and we tell you when testing is not necessary.
