Disaster Response & Environmental Recovery Testing
When a hurricane, flood, fire, or major water event hits your property, the visible damage is only part of the story. Standing water and moisture quickly lead to mold, bacterial contamination, and air-quality hazards that threaten health and complicate insurance and reoccupancy. AERIS provides fast, independent environmental testing to guide a safe recovery across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach.

Environmental Testing After a Disaster
After flooding or storm damage, properties face several overlapping risks:
- Mold growth – mold can establish within 24-48 hours of water intrusion.
- Bacterial contamination – floodwater can carry sewage and harmful bacteria.
- Moisture in hidden cavities – trapped water behind walls and under floors fuels long-term damage.
- Air-quality hazards – disturbed materials and contaminants degrade indoor air.
Independent testing tells you what’s actually contaminated, how bad it is, and what’s safe – so cleanup is targeted, documented, and verifiable.
When You Need Disaster Response Testing
You likely need this service if:
- Your property has experienced flooding, storm surge, or hurricane damage.
- You’ve had a major leak, burst pipe, or sewage backup.
- You’re a property manager or business needing to safely reopen.
- You need independent documentation for insurance or claims.
- A remediation crew has finished and you want independent verification the property is safe.
Why independent testing matters after a disaster: restoration companies often both test and remediate. AERIS only tests – so our assessment of what’s contaminated and whether cleanup worked has no conflict of interest. That objectivity is valuable for insurance and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should I test after flooding?
As soon as it’s safe. Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours, so early moisture and mold assessment limits damage and guides effective cleanup.
Do you provide documentation for insurance claims?
Yes. We provide clear, independent reports documenting contamination and conditions, which support insurance and claims processes.
Why not just let the restoration company test?
Many restoration companies both test and remediate, which is a conflict of interest. AERIS only tests, so our findings – including whether cleanup worked – are objective.
What do you test for after a disaster?
Depending on the event: moisture, mold, bacteria (including from floodwater/sewage), water quality, and indoor air quality.
Can you verify a remediation was successful?
Yes – independent post-remediation verification is one of our core services.
