Fast Mold Testing Launches National Platform to Standardize Conflict-Free Mold Inspections
Fast Mold Testing introduces an independent model for mold inspections, separating diagnostics from remediation across over 10 U.S. cities.
San Francisco, United States, 2nd Jul 2025 – When Jordan Gruber first arrived at the University of California, Berkeley from rural Australia, he didn’t anticipate building a business around property inspections. As a participant in the prestigious SkyDeck accelerator—known for backing startups in fields like robotics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence—Gruber stood out for focusing on what some considered an unconventional sector.
“In a room full of founders aiming to send robots to Mars or develop cancer therapies, I was pitching a solution for property inspections,” Gruber recalls. “That’s when I realized that sometimes, the biggest gaps lie in the least expected places.”
Reexamining the Mold Inspection Landscape
In the three years since his SkyDeck debut, Gruber identified a systemic issue within the mold testing and inspection market, a space projected to reach $15 billion by 2030. His concern wasn’t the market’s size but rather the potential for conflicting interests in its service model.
“In many U.S. states, the same individual who performs the inspection may also recommend and sell remediation services,” Gruber notes. “This dual role raises legitimate questions about objectivity.”
Fast Mold Testing emerged in response to this dynamic. The company is structured to eliminate potential conflicts of interest by ensuring that inspectors perform diagnostics only. They are prohibited from offering remediation or referring others for those services.
From Silicon Valley Ideas to In-Home Inspections
While Gruber’s peers at SkyDeck were pursuing ambitious technological frontiers, his early days involved hands-on learning in crawlspaces and basement inspections.
“I wasn’t just trying to solve a technical issue,” Gruber says. “I was trying to solve a trust issue. That required a model with no incentives to distort results.”
The company’s solution leverages AI to analyze mold samples and produce comprehensive inspection reports, often within 24 to 48 hours. This approach contrasts with traditional timelines that can take significantly longer.
A New Model for Inspectors and Consumers Alike
Fast Mold Testing’s model has evolved into a nationwide platform that serves both customers and certified inspectors. Independent inspectors working under the traditional model may face commercial pressure to cross-sell remediation services. Gruber’s platform aims to relieve that pressure.
“We provide inspectors with access to lab analysis, proprietary software, and a reliable stream of customers,” he explains. “That allows them to focus solely on professional evaluations.”
With this approach, the company has expanded its operations to more than 10 U.S. cities. The service is now used by property managers, homeowners, tenants, and real estate professionals.

Meeting the Demands of Modern Real Estate
San Francisco served as a key pilot market. Its blend of historic properties, varied microclimates, and data-conscious consumers offered a unique test environment for the platform.
“Whether it’s tech professionals seeking quick turnarounds, families concerned about home safety, or agents navigating tight closing schedules, the goal remains the same: clear, unbiased information,” says Gruber.
The service is increasingly relied upon during property transactions and tenant complaints, with its neutral stance proving valuable across multiple use cases.
Scaling a Standardized Inspection Model
Rather than aiming to promote testing services where none are needed, Fast Mold Testing focuses on refining the experience for those already seeking mold evaluations.
“We’re not convincing people to test,” Gruber emphasizes. “We’re offering a more transparent way to do so.”
The company’s expansion strategy prioritizes real estate markets with informed consumers and high transaction volume. With each new market, the organization builds a consistent standard that separates diagnostics from sales.
Redefining the Role of Technology in Property Services
As Fast Mold Testing grows, its mission remains grounded in reshaping industry practices that may not have kept pace with consumer expectations.
“Digitizing old models isn’t enough,” says Gruber. “We believe technology should help eliminate the conflicts that have made certain services difficult to navigate.”
While mold testing may not attract the attention of headline-grabbing sectors, the company’s commitment to independent, AI-enabled inspections presents a new standard for property services.
