Who we are: a locally run mold remediation company in Tampa. We remove mold from homes, condos and small commercial spaces across Hillsborough County and into south Pasco, dry out water damage before it turns into mold, and leave every job with readings and photos that show it is finished. Our Florida mold remediator license is MRSR4758.
Who is behind the company
We are a small, owner-led business based in east Hillsborough County, and the owner is a military veteran. The company has been doing restoration and construction work around Tampa Bay since 2005, long enough to have seen what a few hurricane seasons do to local houses. The state mold remediator license we work under is held in the owner’s own name, not rented from someone else, and the owner also holds a Florida certified building contractor license.
That second license matters more than it sounds. Mold work leaves holes: drywall cut out to the studs, baseboards pulled, sometimes a cabinet or a closet floor removed. Plenty of mold companies stop there and hand you a list for someone else. We can put the room back as well, with the same people who took it apart, and those people are our own employees rather than a crew hired for the week. The firm is IICRC certified, and our estimates for insurance work are written in Xactimate, the pricing software most carriers and adjusters already use, which tends to make the claim conversation shorter.
Why a mold company in Tampa stays busy
Tampa is humid most of the year, the AC runs nine or ten months out of twelve, and the summer brings an afternoon storm most days. Add slab foundations, stucco walls and a housing stock that runs from 1920s bungalows to brand-new two-story builds, and water finds a way into a lot of houses. Mold needs very little to get going: a damp surface, something organic to feed on like drywall paper or dust, and a day or two. In this climate, the hard part is not killing mold. It is keeping a building dry once it has been cleaned.
The water comes first
Every job starts with the same question: where is the moisture coming from? A slow drip under a sink, a condensate line that backed up, a window that leaks only when rain comes from the west, a roof that lost shingles in the last storm. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to follow the water back to its source, and we write the source into the scope. If it needs a plumber, a roofer or an HVAC tech, we say so plainly. Removing mold from a wall that is still getting wet is money spent twice.
What containment looks like in your house
Before anything is cut out, the work area is closed off with plastic sheeting and zipper doors, and an air scrubber pulls air out of it through a HEPA filter. That keeps the enclosure under slight negative pressure, so air flows into it from the rest of the house rather than out of it. The crew wears protective suits and respirators inside. Debris is bagged inside the enclosure and carried out along a covered path. For most jobs, you can keep living in the rest of the home while we work.
Removal, not cover-up
We don’t fog a room and leave, and we don’t paint over stains. Drywall, insulation and carpet pad with growth in them are cut out past the visible edge, because what you see is rarely all there is. Wood framing that is sound is cleaned, sanded where needed and HEPA vacuumed. Hard surfaces are wiped and vacuumed again. An antimicrobial or sealer goes on framing only when there is a reason for it, not as a substitute for removing the growth.
Proving it is dry
Dry is a number. On day one we take readings from materials that never got wet, and those become the target. Air movers and dehumidifiers run until the affected framing and subfloor read the same. You get the before and after numbers on paper, and so does your insurer if there is a claim. Closing a wall up before it reaches that target is how mold comes back six months later.
Testing stays independent
Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators separately, and an assessor isn’t allowed to remediate a building they assessed within the previous year. We think that is a good rule, so we follow its spirit on every job. When you need air or surface sampling, or a clearance test at the end, it is done by a licensed assessor who doesn’t work for us. We can suggest assessors who cover Hillsborough and Pasco; who you hire is your choice, and you pay them directly.
Paperwork for your insurer
Most mold claims rise or fall on documentation. On every job we photograph the damage before work starts, record moisture readings daily, keep a list of what was removed and why, and photograph the open cavities before they are closed up. If your adjuster wants something in a particular format, tell us at the start. We won’t tell you what your policy covers; that is between you and your insurer. We just make sure the evidence exists.
Who we work for
- Homeowners dealing with a leak, a smell or a stain that keeps coming back.
- Condo owners and associations, where the source and the damage may sit in different units.
- Landlords and property managers who need a clear scope and a turnaround date.
- Small offices, shops and restaurants, scheduled around opening hours.
- Buyers and sellers who need a problem fixed and documented before closing.
Things we won’t do
- Test a property and then sell you the remediation based on our own results.
- Quote a price over the phone for something we haven’t seen.
- Spray a product and call it removal.
- Close up a wall before the readings say it is dry.
- Recommend whole-house work for a problem that is in one room.
