Fort Myers Mold Removal Co. serves Lee, Charlotte, and Collier counties, working two problems: wet-season humidity indoor equipment isn't removing, and moisture sealed into assemblies during reconstruction. Every job ends with a written scope, fixed price per line.
How we scope work
Measurement first, then a recommendation, then a price — in that order, every time. Moisture meters define what's actually wet, thermal imaging locates it behind finishes, and a hygrometer says whether the house is running above the threshold where growth is possible. Where the readings don't justify remediation, the report says to buy a dehumidifier and check back. A company that never declines work isn't measuring anything.
We locate before we open
This matters more here than in most markets, because so many homes have already been repaired once. Asking an owner to reopen a wall they fought to get finished deserves evidence, not a hunch. So we read the assembly with non-invasive meters and thermal imaging, show you the readings that justify each opening, and keep the cut targeted — frequently eighteen inches rather than a room. And we photograph what's behind it, because if a rebuild was closed over wet framing, that record is worth something to you beyond the remediation.
Removal, not treatment
EPA guidance is direct and we follow it: remediation means physically removing the growth and the porous material it colonized, inside containment, with HEPA filtration. Mold doesn't need to be alive to cause a problem, so killing it in place doesn't finish anything. We don't sell fogging, ozone, or antimicrobial spraying as a substitute for removal, and we'll say plainly when a competing bid is built on one.
Where Florida's licensing rules come in
Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators separately through DBPR and restricts one party from performing both roles on a single project — so the firm defining a scope isn't the firm paid according to its size. Two consequences. Where your situation involves a dispute over reconstruction, an insurance claim, or a sale, we'll tell you to get an independent assessment rather than writing our own protocol. And verify the license of anyone you hire, us included. In a market that has drawn this much outside contracting activity, that is the most useful two minutes available to you.
What we tell people before they hire anyone
- Ask what your indoor relative humidity is. Unmeasured means undiagnosed in this climate.
- Ask how they located moisture behind a finish. Meters and imaging produce a targeted opening; guessing produces a gutted room.
- Confirm containment is included — it's a standard step, not an upgrade.
- Ask whether rebuild is in or out of the number you're comparing.
- If you're rebuilding, ask for the moisture log and the dry standard, before insulation goes in.
- Look up the license. DBPR, two minutes, every time.
How we work in the field
Containment goes up before anything is disturbed, air scrubbers run through the work and after it, and drying is tracked with daily readings against a dry standard taken from unaffected material in the same building. You get the moisture log, stage photographs, and documentation an adjuster or a future buyer's inspector will want. Access routes and exactly what we're opening are named in the scope before anyone starts.
