Licensed Florida mold remediation
Mold remediation is one of our core services, and we are a licensed Florida mold remediator. License MRSR4300.
Mold needs moisture to grow, so a lasting solution means dealing with both the mold and the source of the moisture. In Florida's humid climate, leaks, flooding and high humidity can all contribute.
Typical remediation process
Each situation is different, but mold remediation generally includes:
- Inspection & assessmentWe look at the affected areas and look for the moisture source.
- ContainmentWork areas are set up to help keep mold from spreading to other parts of the property.
- Removal & cleaningMold-affected materials are removed or cleaned, depending on the material and conditions.
- Drying & moisture controlAreas are dried and we discuss steps to address the moisture that allowed mold to grow.
- Follow-upWe discuss what we found, what was done and recommended next steps.
Signs you may have a mold problem
- Visible growth or discoloration on walls, ceilings or other surfaces
- A musty odor that doesn't go away
- A history of leaks, flooding or water damage

Frequently asked questions
What is mold and why does it grow?
Mold is a type of fungus. Mold spores are naturally present in the air, indoors and out. They need moisture to grow, which is why leaks, flooding, condensation and high humidity can lead to mold problems indoors.
What are signs of a possible mold problem?
Common signs include visible growth or staining, a persistent musty smell, and past or ongoing water leaks or moisture. Not every stain is mold, and mold can be hidden, so an inspection can help.
Can I just clean mold off the surface?
Surface cleaning alone may not solve the problem if the moisture source is still there or if mold has spread into porous materials. For anything beyond a small area, it's wise to have a professional take a look.
Is mold a health concern?
People react differently to mold, and some are more sensitive than others. If you have health concerns, talk with a healthcare professional. We can't provide medical advice.
