Advanced Mold DNA Testing for Hidden Mold Problems
Hero Inspection Services offers comprehensive Indoor Air Quality testing that includes both airborne sampling (mold and particles) and ERMI/HERTSMI-2 surface analysis, providing a more complete understanding of indoor environmental conditions.
Unlike traditional air testing that captures mold spores and particles present at one moment in time, ERMI and HERTSMI-2 testing evaluate mold DNA in settled dust, helping identify long-term mold patterns inside a home. Our package is intended to be the best and most comprehensive option for Advanced Indoor Air Quality Evaluations.
This service is often used when homeowners suspect hidden mold contamination, chronic moisture problems, or health concerns related to indoor air quality.
Service areas include Orlando, Mobile, Pensacola, Baldwin County, and surrounding Gulf Coast communities

What Is ERMI and HERTSMI-2 Testing?
This service combines two powerful mold DNA analysis methods:
ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index)
ERMI testing analyzes dust for 36 species of mold commonly associated with water-damaged buildings. This provides a broad environmental profile of mold contamination inside the home.
ERMI is useful for identifying:
• Hidden mold problems
• Long-term mold contamination patterns
• Homes with previous water damage
• Environmental concerns that air testing alone may miss
HERTSMI-2 Scoring
HERTSMI-2 is a scoring method based on five mold species strongly linked to water-damaged buildings.
This scoring system is often used by homeowners seeking to evaluate whether a property environment may be problematic for individuals with mold sensitivities.
By combining ERMI with HERTSMI-2, we can provide both a detailed mold profile and a simplified risk scoring method.
