With our humid weather and frequent storms, Orlando is no stranger to mold in buildings.

Mold is increasingly recognized as a common cause of serious and potentially long-term health issues. It can also make your property unsafe for habitation, which may reduce your ability to secure tenants.

In Florida, mold in rented residential dwellings is governed by the Tenant Protection Law. If mold is present in a building you rent to tenants, a local code inspector may issue a citation against you for not meeting minimum housing standards.

Detecting and locating mold

The first indication of mold in your building may be a musty odor. If you have noticed this, you may need to engage the services of specialty mold removal professionals.

Mold removal services first locate areas where mold may be present. Mold may begin growing just 24 hours after exposure to water and assessors are very familiar with common locations that may harbor mold. Assessors identify the source of the mold, using the most up-to-date and effective testing methods to determine both the type of mold and the extent of its growth.

Once all locations of mold growth have been identified, they treat it and stop it from re-growing.

Technicians must be licensed

Mold technicians must meet the requirements of Florida’s Mold Assessment and Remediation Law. That is, mold inspectors must be licensed mold assessors under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Mold remediation providers must also hold specialty mold remediation licenses with the DBPR.
