Professional Mold Remediation — By the Book
Florida law requires licensed mold remediators for any remediation exceeding 10 square feet. We follow IICRC S520 standards — the industry benchmark — on every job. No shortcuts, no surface-only treatments.
Mold Inspection & Air Quality Testing
We perform a thorough visual inspection and collect air quality samples from affected areas and an outdoor baseline. Samples go to an AIHA-accredited lab to identify species, spore counts, and contamination extent. You receive written results before any work begins.
Negative Air Containment Setup
We seal off affected areas with 6-mil polyethylene sheeting and negative air pressure fans that exhaust through HEPA filters to the outside. This prevents mold spores from migrating to unaffected areas during remediation — standard protocol per IICRC S520.
HEPA Air Scrubbing
Industrial HEPA air scrubbers run continuously throughout the remediation area, capturing airborne spores (including Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and others) down to 0.3 microns. We maintain negative air pressure throughout the process.
Physical Mold Removal
Affected porous materials — drywall, insulation, wood framing when necessary — are carefully removed, double-bagged, and properly disposed of per EPA guidelines. Non-porous surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and cleaned with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
Moisture Source Correction
Mold always has a moisture source. We identify and address the underlying cause — whether it's a plumbing leak, roof intrusion, HVAC issue, or structural moisture — before closing up walls. Without fixing the source, mold returns.
Post-Remediation Testing & Clearance Certificate
Independent clearance testing by a third-party industrial hygienist (required by Florida law — the remediator cannot self-certify). Air samples confirm spore counts are back to acceptable levels. You receive a written clearance certificate accepted by all insurance carriers and required for home sales.

⚠️ Florida Law — License Required
Any mold remediation over 10 square feet in Florida requires a licensed mold remediator (Florida Statute 468.842). Hiring an unlicensed contractor can void your insurance claim, expose you to legal liability, and leave the mold problem unsolved.

Types of Mold We Remediate in Florida Homes
Florida's heat and humidity support dozens of mold species. Here are the most common ones we encounter in Orlando homes.
Stachybotrys (Black Mold)
The most feared mold — dark greenish-black, associated with chronic moisture. Found behind drywall and in water-damaged insulation. Requires full remediation protocol.
Aspergillus
One of the most common indoor molds in Florida. Many species; some produce mycotoxins. Found in HVAC systems, drywall, and insulation. Can cause serious respiratory issues in immunocompromised individuals.
Penicillium
Grows rapidly after water damage — often the first mold species to appear. Blue-green in color, found on water-damaged wood, drywall, and carpet. Spreads through HVAC systems.
Cladosporium
Very common in Florida — appears as olive-green or brown spots. Thrives in bathrooms, HVAC ducts, and areas with condensation. Less toxic but can trigger allergic reactions.
Chaetomium
Found in water-damaged drywall — has a musty, earthy odor. Changes color from white to gray to brown to black over time. Strong indicator of significant water intrusion.
Trichoderma
Common in water-damaged wood and paper products. Produces enzymes that break down building materials. Indicates long-term moisture presence and often appears alongside Stachybotrys.
“Found black mold behind our bathroom wall during a renovation. Ryan came out the same day, gave us a clear scope of work, and had it fully remediated with a clearance certificate in 3 days. Very professional and fairly priced — and his license is real, I verified it myself.”
