Mold remediation in Miramar, handled for you

Mold removal in Miramar means remediation: removing the mold growth and fixing the moisture that feeds it. Hard, non-porous surfaces can generally be wiped or scrubbed with water or water and detergent and then dried thoroughly. Moldy porous materials such as ceiling tiles and carpet may have to be thrown away, because growth gets into crevices that are difficult or impossible to clean.

We handle the arrangement from one point of contact. You call us, we visit your home at no cost for a visual walkthrough and explain the process, you hire an independent licensed mold assessor and pay that assessor directly, and we sell the remediation under our agreement. A Florida-licensed mold remediator performs the work on our behalf. We serve Miami-Dade, south Broward and Monroe counties. Other areas we also serve: Miami, Pembroke Pines, Hialeah and Doral.

What the work includes

Hallway sealed off with clear plastic sheeting and a zipper door.

Containment

Containment limits the spread of mold and dust beyond the work area. A limited job can use one layer of plastic with sealed vents and negative air pressure; a larger job can need double plastic and an airlock.

Removing wet porous materials

Moldy ceiling tiles, carpet and insulation often cannot be fully cleaned because growth gets into crevices. Materials that cannot be cleaned are removed and bagged for disposal.

Cleaning and HEPA vacuuming

Hard, non-porous surfaces can generally be wiped or scrubbed with water or water and detergent, then dried quickly. HEPA vacuuming is final cleanup once materials are dry and debris is removed.

Drying and fixing the moisture source

The moisture source has to be fixed too, not only the visible growth. Repairs such as plumbing or roofing are done by a properly licensed contractor. EPA says to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours.

Until we visit

What to do

  • Stop the water at its source if you can, and fix leaky plumbing or building-envelope leaks as soon as possible.
  • Dry wet areas and items right away. EPA says that in most cases mold will not grow if they dry within 24 to 48 hours.
  • After a flood, throw away anything that was wet and cannot be cleaned and dried completely within 24 to 48 hours.

What not to do

  • Do not run a mold-contaminated air conditioning system; turn it off until it is remediated.
  • Do not paint or caulk over moldy surfaces; paint is likely to peel and does not stop the mold.
  • Never mix bleach with ammonia or other cleansers.

Our home visit is a visual walkthrough. It is not an inspection, a mold assessment, a test or sampling. A mold assessment is done by an independent licensed mold assessor you hire and pay directly.

Talk it through with us

Request a call. We will explain the process. The assessment is done by an independent licensed assessor you hire and pay directly, and if remediation is needed, we sell it under our agreement and a Florida-licensed remediator performs it on our behalf.

Common questions

How do I choose a mold remediation company?

Verify the Florida license of the individual performing the regulated work and ask for proof of the required insurance. Florida requires mold assessors and remediators to use a signed or otherwise authenticated contract; ask for an itemized scope in writing. Florida law limits remediation on a structure that a mold assessor or the assessor's company assessed within the prior 12 months, with an exception for certified Division I contractors, and it bars referral payments between assessors and remediators. Ask who does the final verification, and get the quote in writing before work starts.

Do I need to leave the house during mold remediation?

It depends on the size and containment level. EPA recommends full containment for moldy areas over 100 square feet or when work could contaminate occupied space; it uses double plastic and an airlock, with workers in protective equipment. The appropriate containment depends on the situation and professional judgment. EPA and CDC say people with allergies, immune suppression, lung disease, asthma or COPD should avoid mold cleanup, and children should not take part in post-flood cleanup. If anyone in the home is in those groups, plan to be out of the work zone.
