Mold remediation is the work of locating mold in a building, taking it out and correcting the moisture behind it. Mold Remediation Fort Myers does this work in Fort Myers, Florida homes, and the phone, (239) 686-2400, is picked up day and night.
What’s included in a Mold Remediation job
- Tracing the growth through the affected rooms, and the damp that is feeding it.
- Sheeting off the work zone so spores that come loose stay put.
- Cleaning tile, metal and painted surfaces, and removing soaked drywall, carpet pad and other porous material that will not come clean.
- Running dehumidifiers and air movers until moisture readings settle.
- A final check of the area before it goes back to you.
- A plain account of where the water came from.
Moisture comes first
The EPA brief guide to mold, moisture and your home says, “There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.” It also says, “If you clean up the mold, but don’t fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will come back.” A mold job therefore starts with the question of where the water came from. If the cause is a recent leak or flood, drying has to happen first or alongside the cleaning.

When a cleanup is a household chore
The EPA guide to mold cleanup in your home treats “less than about 10 square feet” as the size a homeowner can deal with alone. Beyond that, or when growth sits inside a wall, under flooring or came after a flood, call first: scrubbing can send spores around the room. The same page also says: “Fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible.”

Mold after leaks and floods in Fort Myers
The Wikipedia article on Fort Myers gives the city an elevation of 10 feet (3.0 m). The National Hurricane Center report on Hurricane Ian puts the storm surge from Hurricane Ian in September 2022 at 5 to 8 feet above ground up the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers, and counts at least 52,514 impacted structures in Lee County. Water that stays in a building is where mold starts. The EPA brief guide says, “It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.” A home that stays wet longer than that is a candidate for a mold job. The Wikipedia article on mold has a section on growth in buildings and homes.

People with asthma or allergies
The CDC page on mold says, “People with asthma or who are allergic to mold may have severe reactions.” Keep anyone with those conditions out of the work area, and mention it when you call.
The name of the mold does not change the job
The same CDC page says, “No matter what type of mold is present, you need to remove it.” Size, surface and whether the water has stopped are what shape the work.

Why mold testing is not part of the job
Florida Statutes section 468.8419 lists prohibitions for mold remediators, including that a mold remediator may not offer mold assessment on a structure it remediated within 12 months. For that reason the business does not offer mold testing or assessment. A test, if you want one, is a separate job for a separate company.

Mold Remediation Fort Myers FAQs
What does mold remediation involve?
The work area is closed off, the growth is cleaned from hard surfaces, materials that cannot be cleaned are bagged and removed, and the space is dried. Then the cause of the damp is explained so it can be fixed.
What happens if mold is not removed?
It can spread while the damp lasts. The EPA brief guide says that cleaning up mold without fixing the water problem will most likely let it come back, and the CDC page says people with asthma or allergies may have severe reactions.
Is mold tested for before it is removed?
Not by this business. Florida Statutes section 468.8419 says a mold remediator may not offer mold assessment on a structure it remediated within 12 months, so testing is a separate job. The CDC page also says that no matter what type of mold is present, it needs to be removed.
Can I remove mold myself?
The EPA guide uses less than about 10 square feet as the size for a homeowner cleanup. Larger areas, growth inside walls and mold after a flood are better looked at before anything is disturbed.
How much does mold remediation cost in Florida?
No price is given on this page, because it depends on the size of the area, the material the mold is growing on and the cause of the damp. Call and describe what you see.
