Get The Answers You Need
We offer comprehensive building damage assessment and testing services to ensure your home and commercial buildings are safe for people and pets.
Wind Damage Inspection
High winds place immense pressure on your building and often leave behind hidden damage. Our licensed experts identify these structural failures to support your claim with accurate engineering data.
Hail Damage Inspection
Hail impacts shorten your roof’s lifespan, even when you cannot see the damage yourself. We inspect your exterior to document functional damage and provide the proof you need for coverage.
Fire Damage Inspection
Fire compromises the structural integrity of your property far beyond the visible burned areas. Our team evaluates the framing and soot distribution to define the complete scope of repairs you require.
Flood Damage Inspection
Floodwaters create immediate structural risks that demand a professional assessment. We examine water lines and building components to document the exact extent of the intrusion for your records.
Plumbing Damage Inspection
A sudden pipe failure causes water damage that spreads quickly through your walls and floors. Our investigators pinpoint the exact leak source to establish the origin and cause of the loss.
Xactimate Estimates
You need an accurate calculation of repair costs to move forward with your recovery. We generate precise estimates using industry-standard software to ensure your claim reflects real construction prices.
Mold Inspections
Our mold testing services include an in-depth inspection of the premises by our licensed Mold Assessors with the most up-to-date equipment. Prior to testing we provide you with a detailed report along with an explanation of areas affected.
Moisture Mapping
We use specialized tools to detect and document moisture levels within a structure. It helps identify hidden water intrusion, assess damage, and guide effective repairs to prevent mold growth and future issues.
Moisture Evaluation
Moisture mapping is the action taken to locate excess moisture in building materials. Once the excess moisture is located, it is then documented and evaluated to create the proper credentials so that the drying and/or removal process can begin.
Fire Investigations
Picking up the pieces after a fire is something you hope you never have to go through, but our skilled team will help confirm the levels of cross contamination from the fire in your home or business. Our fire investigators will take soot samples to help confirm the level of cleaning or demolition recommended to help bring you back to pre-loss conditions.
Asbestos Testing
If you suspect asbestos in your home or building, it is important to get accurate testing done quickly. Our team will collect samples from various areas of your property and perform laboratory analysis to determine the presence and concentration of asbestos. Rest easy knowing our accurate testing will give you the full picture of what may need to be done to get your property to healthy levels.
Lead Testing
If you are planning on doing renovations to your older home, it is best to have the home tested for lead paint and where it is located. By having this done you can implement lead-safe work practices when doing renovations, making repairs, or painting.
VOC Testing
Volatile Organic Compounds are carbon based chemicals that evaporate at room temperature. Theses chemicals start off as either a solid or liquid and evaporate as a gas. VOC’s are sometimes suspected through their strong odors, where some are completely odorless. Our VOC testing machines take very in-depth samples that can test in the air for many different chemical compounds. The test results will be available in 1-2 weeks and will be presented with a detailed report along with an explanation of what chemicals are present.
Allergen Testing
Allergens are airborne substances that cause an allergic reaction in humans and pets that come in many different forms. Allergy Watch states that health experts estimate that 35 million Americans suffer from allergic reactions to airborne allergens.
Formaldehyde Testing
By definition, formaldehyde is a colorless pungent gas made by oxidizing methanol. Formaldehyde is included in many of our everyday products, but there are specific regulations set by the EPA to control the amount of exposure.

The Everest Team did a very thorough evaluation of water intrusion in my new home after hurricane. Very professional and detailed in work and report. Cost was covered by my insurance and also helped me in the process of insurance review, mold remediation and repairs. Without this report much would have been missed and would have had to be contended with later when the problem became bigger. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again.
Janet S.
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.

During a very heavy hail storm I noticed water dripping from the ceiling in the kitchen on the first floor. The technician that showed up was very polite and knowledgeable. Within a matter of minutes, he was able to identify the point of entry. I was very satisfied with Everest’s response and service.
