Mold Remediation · MRSR142

Florida Licensed Mold Remediation, Done Right

Mold is regulated in Florida for a reason. As a state-licensed mold remediator (MRSR142) since 2010, we contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials, clean and treat surfaces, verify the space is safe — then rebuild it. One company, start to finish.

Why licensing matters

Mold removal is not a DIY job — and not every company is licensed to do it

In Florida, mold remediation is a regulated trade. Anyone can spray bleach, but improper removal releases millions of spores into your HVAC system and spreads the problem through the entire home. Our MRSR142 license means the work follows Florida statute, is fully documented, and is verified by independent clearance testing before we rebuild.

Our Process

How mold remediation works, step by step

A clear, documented process — from first inspection to a rebuilt, verified space.

Step 1

Inspection & Written Scope

We locate every area of visible and hidden mold growth using moisture meters and thermal imaging, then document a clear, written IICRC-compliant scope of work before anything is touched.

Step 2

Containment & Negative Air

The affected area is sealed off with heavy plastic barriers and placed under HEPA negative air pressure so spores cannot spread to the rest of your home during removal.

Step 3

Removal of Contaminated Materials

Porous materials like affected drywall, insulation and baseboards are carefully removed and bagged. Non-porous surfaces are scrubbed and treated with antimicrobial agents.

Step 4

Cleaning & HEPA Vacuuming

Every surface inside containment is HEPA-vacuumed, wiped down and treated again. The air is scrubbed continuously until the chamber is clean and dry.

Step 5

Post-Remediation Clearance Testing

An independent licensed assessor takes air and surface samples and issues a formal clearance report — so you have third-party proof the mold problem is resolved, not just our word.

Step 6

Reconstruction & Rebuild

Because we are a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1535089), we reinstall moisture-resistant drywall, paint and finish the space back to its original condition — all under one contract.

Common in South Florida

Where mold hides in South Florida homes

Our climate makes mold growth fast and frequent. These are the problems we see most — and how we handle each one.

AC Air Handler & Drain Pan Leaks

The single most common cause of hidden mold in South Florida. A clogged condensate drain or overflowing pan in a tight closet saturates the drywall, and mold spreads through the AC duct system. We detach the unit, remove affected drywall, sterilize the ductwork, and rebuild the closet with moisture-resistant materials.

Slow Plumbing Leaks Behind Walls

A pinhole leak in a supply line or a failed supply line to a toilet or sink can run for weeks inside a wall cavity. By the time a stain or musty smell appears, mold is already established behind the drywall. We locate the source, remove the contaminated materials, and rebuild.

Roof Leaks & Wind-Driven Rain

South Florida storms push water under flashing and around vents. It travels down rafters and collects in ceiling drywall or wall cavities. If not dried within 48–72 hours, mold follows. We open the affected area, dry the structure, treat for mold, and restore the ceiling or wall.

Water Heater & Appliance Failures

A burst water heater or failed washing machine hose dumps gallons of water fast. Standing water is extracted, but the moisture that wicks up drywall and under baseboards is what grows mold. We dry to standard and remediate any growth that has started.

Condensation on Exterior Walls & Windows

High humidity plus cool interior surfaces causes condensation, especially on north-facing walls and around windows. Persistent dampness grows mold on drywall, trim and around the window frame. We treat the growth and address the moisture source so it does not return.

Previous, Improperly Handled Water Loss

If a past leak was dried by a company that did not open the walls or verify moisture, hidden mold can surface months later. We inspect, scope the actual extent of the growth, and remediate it correctly — with clearance testing to prove it.

Smell something musty, or see discoloration? Don't wait — mold spreads fast.
