Our Work
Recent mold remediation projects.
Southwest Florida's saltwater humidity and Hurricane Ian's lingering moisture damage have made mold a chronic problem in Bonita Springs. Our IICRC-certified crew handles inspection, containment, HEPA-filtered removal, and post-remediation clearance — billed direct to your insurance.
Mold isn't just a cosmetic problem — it's a structural and health one. The IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation calls for containment, source removal, HEPA air scrubbing, and clearance testing. We follow it on every job, whether it's a 50 sq ft closet or a full-house Ian aftermath.
Most insurance policies in Florida cover mold remediation if the underlying water event is covered. We bill direct and document to the standard adjusters expect.
Bonita Springs has a high concentration of seasonal homes — north-only owners who leave the AC off all summer. Vacant homes with high humidity = chronic mold growth in cavities. Most of our Bonita mold work comes from snowbirds returning in November and finding spotted drywall they didn't notice in March.
Our Bonita Springs crew works across the full city — from Riverside Park, Bonita Beach Park, Everglades Wonder Gardens, Bonita Springs YMCA, Promenade at Bonita Bay, Coconut Point (Estero border) — and we're familiar with how mold remediation scope changes between Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing.
Bonita Springs disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), Tropical Storm Eta (2020). Post-storm cavity moisture from these events is still feeding mold growth in many homes today.
When the owner flies north in May and turns the thermostat up to 82 to save on power, the dew point inside the envelope climbs above the wall-cavity temperature within two weeks. Condensation forms on the cold side of any insulated wall, the gypsum paper wicks it, and by August there is visible Cladosporium on the back of every closet adjacent to an exterior wall. Open the door to a shut-down Hawthorne or Spanish Wells home in October and the first thing that hits you is the smell. That is the Bonita Springs mold pattern, and it is almost entirely preventable — but by the time we are called, it is a full S520 remediation, not a cleanup.
ANSI/IICRC S520 specifies engineering controls for any visible growth larger than 10 square feet: 6-mil poly sheeting, negative-pressure containment with HEPA-filtered air filtration devices running four to six air changes per hour, a decon antechamber at every entry, and bagging at the work zone. In a vacation home that has been closed for months, we add a pre-misting step before demo because dry spore mass aerosolizes worse than active growth. We bag, double-tape, and route waste through a window chute on tight Bonita Beach lot lines rather than carrying it through clean living space.
The condensate pan and evaporator coil of a Bonita Springs air handler that ran intermittently through a humid summer is a Petri dish. Standard remediation that ignores the HVAC rebuilds the contamination loop within one cooling season. We borescope every supply trunk and return plenum during the initial inspection. If the interior liner of the flex shows growth, the duct gets replaced — not cleaned — and the coil gets fogged with an EPA-registered antimicrobial. The blower wheel comes out, gets pulled into containment, and is wet-cleaned outside the dwelling. Skip that and the homeowner is calling again in 14 months.
Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, and Worthington all have HOA architectural and disclosure rules that can be triggered by a documented mold event. We do not sign off on our own remediation. After clearance cleaning, an independent industrial hygienist samples the work area against a same-day outdoor control (exterior spore counts run high near the Imperial River and Everglades Wonder Gardens because of the canopy vegetation). If the inside count exceeds outside on any genus, we re-clean at our cost. That third-party paperwork is what a future buyer's inspector will demand, and what an HOA board will accept.
Bonita Springs mold remediation is mostly a vacation-home problem with a predictable cause and a documented protocol to fix it. We follow S520 line by line, include the HVAC, run third-party clearance through an AIHA-accredited lab, and leave the homeowner with a written scope a future buyer can read without a translator. That is the standard the work has to hit on a home that may sit vacant again next summer.
Visual inspection + thermal imaging + moisture meter readings. We find the source before we treat the symptom.
Plastic containment with negative-air HEPA scrubbers. Stops spores from spreading to clean areas of the home.
Affected materials removed per IICRC S520. Final air-quality clearance test confirms the space is safe to re-occupy.

Our Bonita Springs mold remediation crew dispatches across the full city — from Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Hawthorne, Spanish Wells, Bonita Beach, San Carlos Park (south), Riverwood, Imperial Shores, Bonita Farms, Bonita National, covering ZIP codes 34134, 34135. Containment strategy differs between newer CBS construction and older wood-frame homes — both common in Bonita Springs.
Bonita Springs insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Property, NFIP flood claims, HOA carriers for Bonita Bay / Pelican Landing. We bill direct on most claims and document to adjuster standards from the first call.
Same crew, same standards — we cover the surrounding cities too:
All services in Bonita Springs →It is the textbook post-vacancy bloom. Owners fly back to Pelican Landing or Bonita Bay in October and find every closet ceiling spotted with Cladosporium and Aspergillus. The trigger is almost always the HVAC: the thermostat was set to 82F or the system tripped a breaker, indoor RH climbed past 70%, and every porous surface fed mold for weeks. Under IICRC S520 this is a Condition 3 actual growth event requiring containment, HEPA AFD negative pressure, and physical removal of affected drywall and any soft goods. We also borescope the supply trunks because the air handler coil is almost always colonized and has to be cleaned or replaced.
Condo work near Promenade at Bonita Bay requires more planning than a single-family job. We build a critical barrier of 6-mil poly with a zippered decon chamber at the unit door, run a HEPA-filtered AFD venting through a window port (never into the corridor), and pull negative pressure to at least -0.02 inches water column. Wall-cavity demo is done with oscillating tools rather than reciprocating saws to limit airborne spore dispersal and reduce noise transfer to adjacent units. We coordinate with the HOA in advance, post IICRC S520 work-area signage, and use a HEPA vacuum on every cut. The board usually wants documentation before approving the COI.
The IICRC threshold most adjusters use is 48-72 hours of saturation in our climate. If we are on-site at a home off Bonita Beach Road within 24 hours and ambient is below 60% RH, we can usually dry in place with no remediation. Past 72 hours in Bonita Springs heat, you have visible Stachybotrys or Chaetomium colonization on paper-faced drywall and the job converts to a full S520 remediation: containment, removal of affected materials two feet past visible growth, antimicrobial application of EPA-registered products, and post-remediation verification clearance. Tower Hill and Citizens will scope it differently in Xactimate and may require a third-party PRV report.
The remediator handles the mechanical cleaning of the HVAC interior under IICRC S520, but coil replacement or condensate-pan repair is licensed HVAC work. In a typical Bonita Springs vacation-home job we borescope the supply and return trunks, document growth photographically, remove flex duct that is colonized (it cannot be cleaned reliably), HEPA-vacuum and antimicrobial-treat metal trunks, and coordinate with a Lee County licensed HVAC contractor for coil replacement when the evaporator is impacted. We provide that vendor with our containment so the system is not opened to the contaminated zone. Expect this to add $1,500-$4,500 to the scope depending on tonnage and ductwork length.
PRV is the third-party clearance test that confirms the remediation worked: a licensed Florida mold assessor (different person from the remediator) re-enters after we demobilize and pulls Air-O-Cell cassettes inside the containment plus an outdoor control, then issues a written pass. Citizens typically pays for PRV when mold remediation is a covered consequence of a sudden water loss in 34134 or 34135, but the line item has to be in the original Xactimate scope (MLD CLEAR). We always recommend the homeowner hire the assessor directly so the assessor-remediator relationship stays independent, which is what Florida statute 468.84 contemplates.
