Mold removal
Mold remediation in Pompano Beach, FL
Mold remediation removes mold growth under containment so spores don't spread, cleans or discards affected materials, and corrects the moisture problem that let it grow. Several states, including Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York, license mold remediation, so check your state's rules.

Mold remediation questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Pompano Beach?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Pompano Beach Building Inspections division.
Who pays for a condo leak in Pompano Beach?
It depends on the source and the association's documents. Florida law splits responsibility between owners and associations, so notify both quickly.
Do I need a licensed company for mold removal?
It depends on your state. Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York license mold remediation above set sizes. In other states, look for IICRC-certified remediators, insurance and a written scope.
Does bleach kill mold?
Bleach can whiten mold on hard, non-porous surfaces, but it doesn't penetrate drywall or wood and adds moisture. Removal and cleaning, plus fixing the moisture, is the reliable fix.
