Licensed assessments, engineering, and forensic documentation for residential and commercial properties throughout Ocala.
Property issues are not always obvious from the surface. We investigate the conditions, explain what they mean, and outline practical next steps.

Ocala does not face the coast's surge and salt air, but Marion County has its own profile. Karst geology, the same limestone that feeds the region's springs, puts sinkholes and subsidence on the table whenever a foundation moves.
Tropical rainfall overwhelms stormwater drainage and ponds on low-lying ground. Heat and humidity run the air conditioning hard year-round, and where it condenses it feeds mold. A building stock that spans a historic downtown, post-war ranches, newer master-planned growth, barns, and farm structures carries asbestos and a wide range of construction types.
That is why our approach is forensic-first across every service. Conditions documented, cause established, findings tied to evidence, so owners, attorneys, and insurers act on confirmed facts.
Six core services, each independent, each documented to a forensic standard. Each card links to its full Ocala service page.
Ph.D.-led forensic assessments, sinkhole and subsidence evaluations, foundation analysis, equestrian and agricultural structure evaluations, and sealed permit-ready plans.
Licensed, independent mold assessment that finds the growth, names the moisture source, and confirms species through accredited analysis, with no remediation to sell.
AHERA-certified surveys and accredited lab analysis across historic, mid-century, commercial, and farm building stock, with independent clearance after abatement.
Cause-specific IAQ testing that names the compound, the concentration, and the driver, from VOCs to spores to AC-driven humidity.
Full-scope forensic documentation of structure, smoke and soot migration, and suppression moisture, including barn and agricultural fires, built for carriers and legal proceedings.
Cause-and-origin documentation with flood-versus-wind allocation for stormwater and rainfall flooding, backed by Xactimate-certified estimating.
Most providers assess and sell the fix. Everest assesses only, and that difference is the entire value of the report.
On a suspected sinkhole especially, where the firm diagnosing the ground often sells the underpinning, removing that conflict is the whole point. Our scope is driven by evidence, not by sales.
We inspect, test, and document. We do not sell the repair, remediation, abatement, or underpinning that follows.
Recommendations are driven by lab results, field observations, and engineering evidence rather than an incentive to expand a job.
Our reports are built for carriers, counsel, closings, permitting authorities, and dispute review.
Post-work review is available when you need confirmation from a team outside the repair scope.
Reviews highlight fast inspections, responsive communication, professional reports, and support when property questions get stressful.
I have been investing in property for twenty years. I cannot overstate the importance of getting quality testing done before your purchase, for the safety of your investment and for the safety of the occupant(s). I have used multiple companies in multiple states and Everest has by far been the best. I highly recommend.
I have worked with the folks at Everest for about 5 years now and have found their service to always go beyond expectations their professionalism exemplary and their communication extremely responsive. I would recommend them for any level of moisture mapping mold testing and or structural engineering.
Everest is a great company to work with. They have inspected my clients' homes quickly and they have helped me overturn insurance denials. Special thanks to Yaritza Mejias and Yanitza Figueroa.
Professional engineering reports and quick turn around service. Its a pleasure working with Everest. Top notch company and staff
I have used EBCG many times and could not be happier with their response time, the quality and detail of their work, and the professionalism of their staff. From the scheduling process to the thoroughness of their reports and the support they provide after testing, they are truly at the top of their field.
I am incredibly grateful to have an organization like EBCG in my corner when navigating the stressful process of dealing with insurance carriers. Their involvement in the claims process has consistently helped both my company and our customers achieve positive outcomes in every case.
Great assistance with providing Planned Systems International Inc (Valparaiso, FL) with a report that details what is in the air in our commercial building. We had a Mold and Moisture Assessment done. We can now take this report and update our HVAC system to help mitigate anything toxic we may be breathing in. The test itself was non-evasive and only took a few hours. Thank you to Les Retherford for being so nice and helpful with explaining the process.
Independent documentation serves everyone with a stake in the building.
Straight answers before you repair, remediate, or buy, including whether that crack is a sinkhole or ordinary settlement.
Defensible documentation for barns, arenas, outbuildings, and commercial structures from a firm that understands agricultural construction and will not bid the work.
Independent findings for Ocala transactions, due diligence, sinkhole questions, older materials, and pre-closing damage concerns.
Cause-and-origin findings, quantified damages, and expert support that stand on confirmed evidence in sinkhole, defect, and damage disputes.
Independent testing and permit-ready engineering that cut rework, change orders, and approval cycles.
Licensed, independent documentation for occupant concerns, maintenance planning, compliance questions, and Marion County building issues that need a neutral record.
The same direct process behind every service on this page.
Call (844) 322-2946 and describe the property and the issue. We confirm the right service, the access, and the urgency, whether the matter is structural, environmental, or damage-related.
Our licensed team documents conditions, establishes cause, and collects the samples or measurements the service requires, recorded so findings read in context.
A forensic-grade report with accredited lab results or PE-stamped engineering as the service requires, built for the claim, the closing, the permit, or the courtroom.
Structural, environmental, or damage-related, our licensed Ocala team delivers independent documentation built for the decision in front of you. The report is the product; the evidence is the pitch.
