What we do
Where there is water, mold follows, and in Florida it often ends up in the AC. We handle all of it, so you never have to coordinate a second company.
We physically remove mold and the materials it has damaged, then clean and dry the area. No biocides sprayed in your home.
Leaks, AC drips, roof leaks and storm flooding. We dry what can be saved, remove what can't, and put your home back together.
Mold in vents and ductwork is common in Florida's humidity. We remove mold around vents and air handlers, and when ducts are too far gone, we coordinate full duct replacement with our trusted licensed AC partner.
Our work
Two Naples homes we brought back from flood damage and the mold that followed: water out, mold removed, and the kitchens rebuilt from the studs.

Leak detection
Leaking windows, slow plumbing leaks and AC condensation can hide inside walls for months. We track them down with professional detection equipment, not guesswork.
Two types, to measure moisture in drywall, wood and subfloors and map exactly how far water has spread.
Show temperature differences that reveal wet areas behind walls and ceilings without opening them up.
A small camera through a tiny hole lets us look inside wall cavities before anything is torn out.
Measure humidity in the air, so we know when a room is truly dry and mold won't come back.
Water in your home
The longer water sits, the dirtier it gets, the deeper it soaks in, and the more has to be torn out. The EPA's guidance is to dry wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold.
Water wicks up drywall and into wood, insulation and carpet pad. Bacteria can begin multiplying.
The window for drying wet materials to prevent mold. Inside it, much can often be saved.
In warm, humid conditions some molds can start colonizing wet materials. Florida heat speeds this up.
Clean water turns dirty as it sits, and everything it touched has to come out.
Some materials can't be dried in time or cleaned once soaked. EPA guidance calls for replacing wet ceiling tiles and insulation, and drywall that has swollen or opened at the seams. Left in place, they trap moisture inside the walls.
Rising river or surface water, sewage backups and hurricane-driven rain are treated as grossly contaminated from the start under the industry's IICRC standard. Everything they soaked needs professional removal and cleaning.
Your health
The CDC, EPA and World Health Organization all link damp, moldy homes to health problems. Mold releases spores and allergens into the air, and it can irritate people with or without allergies.
Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, red or itchy eyes, skin rash.
Sore throat, burning eyes, irritation of the nose, skin and lungs.
Coughing, wheezing, and asthma attacks in people with asthma.
The WHO links damp, moldy buildings to more respiratory infections.
Pet health
Dogs and cats spend their days close to the floor, in the same air and on the same surfaces as the mold. Veterinary sources report that mold exposure can cause in pets:
Flat-faced breeds like Fred, along with pugs and Boston terriers, already have narrowed airways, so anything that irritates breathing can hit them harder. If your pet has symptoms, see your vet.
General education, not medical advice. Anyone with ongoing symptoms should see their doctor or vet. Sources: CDC, EPA, WHO guidelines summary, PetMD, UF Small Animal Hospital.
Clean · Green · No biocides
We remove mold.
We don't spray poison on it.
That matches EPA guidance, which advises against using bleach or other biocides as a routine part of mold cleanup.
What chemicals will you spray in my home? Will you remove the moldy materials or treat them in place? How will you find and fix the moisture source?
How we do it
Moisture meters, thermal imaging and borescope cameras trace the source and map how far the damage goes, inside walls and under floors.
Plastic barriers and filtered air keep spores out of the clean parts of the house.
Wet or moldy drywall, insulation and carpet pad come out and are bagged for disposal.
Surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and cleaned to physically remove mold.
Air movers and dehumidifiers bring the structure back to normal moisture levels.
We check moisture levels again before anything is closed up.
As a licensed building contractor, we put it back: drywall, flooring, trim and paint.
Warning signs
Mold often grows inside walls and under floors long before a spot shows. These are the clues that something is going on.
