🛥️ Marine Mold & Air Quality Inspections

 

Breathe Easy — Even at Sea

Moisture and marine life go hand in hand — but that also makes boats especially vulnerable to mold and poor air quality. At Pine & Particle LLC, we provide specialized mold and air quality inspections for all types of marine vessels, from sailboats and yachts to fishing boats and houseboats. Whether your boat is docked, stored, or lived in year-round, we help ensure your onboard environment is clean, safe, and breathable.

Why Marine Testing Matters

The confined spaces, high humidity, and limited ventilation common in boats make them ideal environments for mold to thrive. Mold can affect not just the structure and value of your vessel, but your health and comfort while onboard.

Our certified, third-party testing is designed to give you clear, unbiased answers — not upsells or scare tactics.

🔍 What We Inspect

During your inspection, we’ll walk through your vessel with you to identify areas of concern. Common problem areas include:

  • Cabins and living quarters

  • Bilges and below-deck storage

  • Cushions, carpeting, and wall liners

  • Headliners and overhead compartments

  • Engine compartments and water systems

We'll perform air sampling and/or surface swab testing in the locations you select, carefully targeting areas where moisture, odor, or discoloration may indicate mold growth or air contamination.

🧪 What the Lab Tests For

All samples are analyzed by a certified ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory, giving you reliable, accurate results. Your detailed report will include:

  • Lab-identified mold types, including:

    • Stachybotrys (Black Mold)

    • Cladosporium

    • Aspergillus/Penicillium

    • Chaetomium

    • Ulocladium

  • Other particles and allergens:

    • Pollen

    • Insect parts

    • Dust

    • Human and animal skin cells

We interpret the results in a clear, digestible format, so you understand what was found and what it means for your space — with no pressure to buy remediation.
