Licensed mold removal in Boca Raton

Boca Raton mold: humidity and housing

In Boca Raton condos and villas, mold often starts above drop ceilings, around shared AC equipment, or where a neighbor's leak wicked through a shared wall.

Boca Raton is a city in southern Palm Beach County on Florida's Atlantic coast, with the Intracoastal Waterway, canal and golf communities, and oceanfront condominiums. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 97,980 residents in Boca Raton. The median year of construction is about 1982, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Condo and multi-unit buildings in Boca Raton share walls, ceilings, and HVAC, so one unit's water or smoke often reaches neighbors. Older housing in Boca Raton often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Boca Raton: local context

About 42% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so shared walls and ceilings let moisture travel between units. Population: about 97,980 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Median year built: 1982. That matters because older wall assemblies and past storm leaks give moisture more places to hide. Roughly 9% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; homes closed up with the AC off or set high are a common mold source.

Our mold process

1. Start with an inspection and moisture readings to see how far the growth goes.
2. Seal off the work area with plastic sheeting before anything is disturbed.
3. Run HEPA air filtration and negative air during the work.
4. Remove drywall, insulation, carpet, and other porous materials that cannot be cleaned.
5. Dry what is left and show you the leak or humidity problem that caused it.

Before we arrive

• If a leak is feeding it, shut the water off.
• Keep the AC on for humidity control and keep fans away from moldy areas.
