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 Fort Myers. 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.
Fort Myers' age-mix of housing means our mold work spans 1950s wood-frame ranches in Fort Myers Shores to 2010s CBS in Gateway. Older McGregor homes typically have wood subfloors that hold moisture differently than CBS construction — our IICRC S520 process accounts for both. Edison/Ford Winter Estates area has the city's highest tree canopy and corresponding moisture pressure.
Our Fort Myers crew works across the full city — from Edison & Ford Winter Estates, Downtown River District, Centennial Park, JetBlue Park (Red Sox spring training), Bell Tower Shops, McGregor Boulevard — and we're familiar with how mold remediation scope changes between Downtown River District and McGregor Boulevard.
Fort Myers disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022 — significant), Hurricane Irma (2017), historic 1926 Miami hurricane. Post-storm cavity moisture from these events is still feeding mold growth in many homes today.
A 1955 McGregor Boulevard home that has lived through Donna (1960), Charley (2004), Irma (2017), and Ian (2022) carries cavity moisture history no moisture meter alone can fully read. Pair that with the High Point Place and Riviera condo stock — shared HVAC plenums that move spores across owner lines — and Fort Myers mold remediation has to solve a different problem than the one across the bridge in Cape Coral. IICRC S520 still governs the work; the containment strategy and clearance protocol have to fit the building.
Original 1950s-1970s construction along McGregor and in Edison Park used wood subfloor over crawl space or wood lath behind plaster — substrates that wick and store moisture in ways modern CBS does not. Before we cut, we map historical wet zones with a thermal camera and a pin meter at 6-inch intervals through bottom plates and around window flashing. Old water trails from prior storms read dry on the face and saturated two inches deep. We photo-document each elevated reading and tie it to a building-history timeline — that becomes the rationale when the scope expands past what a Citizens adjuster initially authorized.
Remediation in a single owner-occupied unit at High Point Place, Royal Park, or Oasis Tower One has to assume neighbors stay in their units. We build full 6-mil poly containment with HEPA-filtered negative air at six air changes per hour, a two-stage decon chamber at the unit door, and a sealed elevator path to a ground-floor rolloff. The condo association gets a daily containment-pressure log; the affected owner gets a relocation timeline. Skipping the negative-air verification is how association boards get cross-contamination complaints from three units down — and how a manageable claim turns into a building-wide investigation.
Some Fort Myers mid-rises run vertical chase-routed risers with shared make-up air on each floor. When mold appears in one unit, the return path frequently shares plenum geometry with neighbors. We borescope the riser and the unit's air handler coil before clearance. If the coil shows growth or the flex liner is colonized, the flex gets replaced — never cleaned — and the coil is fogged with an EPA-registered antimicrobial. The association's mechanical contractor signs off on re-balance before we close the file.
Third-party clearance is non-negotiable on every Fort Myers job we run. An independent industrial hygienist samples the work area against an outdoor control taken the same day at the same elevation — exterior counts under the Edison & Ford Winter Estates banyan canopy run high year-round, so the comparison has to be matched. If interior numbers exceed outdoor on any genus, we re-clean at our cost. That standard is what closes the claim and protects the next buyer's inspection report.
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 Fort Myers mold remediation crew dispatches across the full city — from Downtown River District, McGregor Boulevard, Iona, San Carlos Park, Gateway, Whiskey Creek, Cypress Lake, College Parkway, Pelican Preserve, Edison Park, covering ZIP codes 33901, 33907, 33912, 33913, 33916, 33919, 33966, 33967. Containment strategy differs between newer CBS construction and older wood-frame homes — both common in Fort Myers.
Fort Myers insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, full carrier mix; large insurance broker network in downtown. 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:
McGregor Blvd estates built between 1950 and 1975 typically have a long moisture history: original single-pane jalousies, slab construction without a modern vapor barrier, multiple roof generations, and decades of AC condensate intrusion. Even after a current leak is fixed, wall cavities often hold legacy Cladosporium and Aspergillus/Penicillium growth in the bottom 24 inches of drywall. We scope to ANSI/IICRC S520, set containment, and remove affected gypsum and baseboard to dry-standard substrate before any cosmetic work, because painting over it is the most common mistake we see on resale inspections.
Visible growth at the supply diffusers in a Fort Myers high-rise almost always indicates condensation inside the air handler closet or duct interior, not a register-only problem. We inspect the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and the first six feet of supply trunk, because that is where biofilm accumulates in our humidity. Remediation follows S520 with the system locked out, containment at each affected register, and HEPA-filtered negative air. If the building shares a common riser, we coordinate with the association before disturbing anything in the chase.
Multi-unit remediation in buildings near Edison Mall or the River District is governed by S520 plus the association's governing documents. We establish a single critical barrier in the common corridor, dedicate negative-air machines per unit, and stagger work so HEPA exhaust never crosses between unaffected units. Each owner gets their own scope and post-remediation verification, but we run one master containment plan reviewed by the property manager. Florida law also requires a licensed mold remediator (MRSR) separate from the assessor on jobs over 10 square feet, which we observe strictly.
No. Bleach is mostly water by volume, and on the porous CMU and stucco substrates common in Fort Myers homes, the chlorine evaporates while the water drives spores deeper into the block. S520 calls for physical removal of contaminated porous material and HEPA vacuuming plus damp-wiping of semi-porous substrates with an EPA-registered antimicrobial. On CMU specifically, we media-blast or wire-brush to sound substrate, then apply a borate-based encapsulant only after a moisture source, usually exterior stucco cracking or roof flashing, has been corrected.
Florida HO-3 policies from Citizens, Florida Peninsula, and Tower Hill typically include a mold sublimit, often $10,000, and only when the mold results from a covered water loss that was reported promptly. Long-term humidity intrusion, deferred maintenance on a McGregor Blvd estate's original windows, or condensation from an undersized AC are generally excluded. We write our S520 scope with a clear causation narrative tied to the underlying water event so the adjuster can apply the correct endorsement. If the cause is maintenance, we will tell you that before we invoice the carrier.
