Mold Removal & Remediation in West Palm Beach, FL
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.
Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Frequently asked questions
Palm Beach is across the lagoon. Is this the same island problem?
No. That is a barrier island. This city is the mainland ridge and the filled sloughs behind Lake Worth Lagoon. August rain here either sheets off the ridge or sits in old wet prairie. It is not ocean overwash, and the diagnosis should not treat it as the island.
The street was a slough. What does that mean for a slab?
It means the lot was wet before it was a lot. Fill over peat and muck still holds water, and August's 8.68 inches finds that memory. A slab on a former slough wets from below even when the ridge two blocks west sheds cleanly.
The wall feels dry. Why open the block?
Because block does not dry on the same schedule as paint. Water in the cores can remain for weeks. Closing a repair on a dry surface is how growth comes back a season later in this climate. Closing a repair on a dry surface is how growth comes back a season later in this climate.
