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 Lehigh Acres. 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.
Lehigh Acres' tight-cluster CBS construction and shared lot drainage means moisture management is community-wide. Many Lehigh homes have settling-crack water intrusion in addition to plumbing-leak moisture.
Our Lehigh Acres crew works across the full city — from Veterans Park, Lehigh Senior High, Mirror Lakes Golf Club — and we're familiar with how mold remediation scope changes between Lehigh North and Lehigh South.
Lehigh Acres disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), repeated freshwater flooding. Post-storm cavity moisture from these events is still feeding mold growth in many homes today.
Florida Statute 83.51 puts a landlord on the hook for a rental unit's habitability, and a documented mold complaint shifts the legal posture fast. Lehigh Acres has thousands of investor-owned single-family rentals across 33971, 33972, and 33976 - most managed remotely from out of state. When a tenant emails a photo of black staining on a baseboard near Veterans Park or off Sunshine Boulevard, the clock starts. We work that file with the owner, the property manager, and the tenant on the same email thread so nothing falls through.
Lehigh Acres took heavy wind damage in Ian and a lot of the roof work was done by out-of-state crews on a 90-day surge. Underlayment patches that should have been full tear-offs, sealed-over decking that was still 22% moisture content, ridge vents reseated without new flashing. Three summers later, those cavities are growing Cladosporium and Aspergillus/Penicillium inside the truss bays. We borescope from the attic side and pull a tape-lift before opening the ceiling, because in a rental the demo footprint affects the displacement question. Smallest competent scope, documented to S520, is the right standard here.
Lehigh Acres homeowners and investors expect remediation done to standard without resort hotel pricing. The S520 protocol is the same regardless - 6-mil poly containment, HEPA-filtered negative air at four to six air changes per hour, decon chamber at the entry, double-bagged waste staged directly to the rolloff. What we control on cost is sequencing: we don't run a containment for two extra days because the rebuild trade isn't lined up. The mold scope ends when clearance passes, and the reconstruction crew is on-site the next morning. That tight handoff is the difference between a $4,800 remediation and an $11,000 one.
Most Lehigh Acres builds from 1995-2015 have flex duct routed through unconditioned attic space. After a roof leak, that flex sweats and colonizes on the interior liner - a cleared wall cavity that ignores the duct work just recycles spore counts a month later. We borescope every supply trunk and the return drop during the initial assessment. If the liner shows growth, the flex section gets replaced (not cleaned - flex liner can't be reliably sanitized), and the air handler coil gets fogged with an EPA-registered antimicrobial before clearance sampling.
We hand the owner a remediation report tied line by line to S520, with photos, moisture logs, and an independent post-remediation verification from a third-party IH. That's the file a future buyer's inspector will pull, that's the file a tenant's attorney will pull, and that's the file the property insurance underwriter will pull at renewal. Done right once, it doesn't come back. That's the only remediation worth paying for on a Lehigh Acres rental.
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.
For Lehigh Acres homeowners, the answer depends on the specific scope — call us at (239) 920-7972 for a same-day estimate. Our Lehigh Acres mold remediation crew handles this routinely; we can give you a clear quote after a 15-minute walkthrough.

Our Lehigh Acres mold remediation crew dispatches across the full city — from Lehigh North, Lehigh South, Country Club, Eastwood, Mirror Lakes, Pinewood, Buckingham (border), covering ZIP codes 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974, 33976. Containment strategy differs between newer CBS construction and older wood-frame homes — both common in Lehigh Acres.
Lehigh Acres insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, mixed carrier base; flood insurance important for lower-elevation sections. 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:
Florida doesn't have a specific mold disclosure statute, but Statute 83.51 covers habitability for active rentals, and the general duty to disclose known material defects applies to sales. If a Lehigh Acres rental in 33972 or 33974 had a documented remediation, buyers and incoming tenants typically need to know, especially if the underlying cause wasn't fully resolved. We provide a closure document showing the affected area, the remediation protocol followed, and post-remediation verification clearance. That clean paperwork is what protects you in a future dispute, not silence.
Slow roof leaks in Lehigh South frequently produce hidden mold growth in the attic truss cavity above the affected ceiling, often Stachybotrys or Chaetomium because the cellulose insulation stays wet for weeks. By the time the ceiling stains show, the cavity above can have visible black growth on the drywall paper and the bottom chord of the truss. We follow IICRC S520 containment protocols, set negative air with HEPA filtration, remove affected materials, HEPA-vacuum and damp-wipe framing, and apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial only after physical removal is complete.
S520 is the industry consensus standard for mold remediation, published by the IICRC. It defines containment, PPE, air filtration, removal techniques, and post-remediation verification. For Lehigh Acres jobs, especially in older CBS homes near Lehigh Senior High where wall cavities are humid year-round, following S520 is the difference between a real remediation and a cosmetic cleanup. Carriers and Florida-licensed mold assessors expect S520 documentation. If a contractor can't tell you their containment class and clearance criteria, the work won't survive a post-remediation inspection by an independent assessor.
No, and Florida licensing rules prohibit calling that remediation. Bleach discolors surface staining but doesn't penetrate porous materials like drywall or framing, and the water in household bleach can actually feed regrowth. For a Lehigh rental under Statute 83.51 habitability requirements, a bleach treatment without physical removal leaves the spores embedded and the tenant complaint unresolved. Proper remediation means physical removal of affected porous materials, HEPA filtration during the work, and verification afterward. We document the protocol so you have a defensible record if the tenant follows up with code enforcement.
For a contained area like a single bathroom or bedroom wall in a 33971 or 33976 home, expect three to five days: one day to set containment and negative air, one to two days for removal and cleaning, then 24-48 hours of drying and dwell time before verification sampling. Whole-house jobs after a prolonged roof leak near Mirror Lakes can run two to three weeks. We never rush clearance. The post-remediation verification has to be done by an independent Florida-licensed mold assessor, not us, so the timeline includes their scheduling window.
