Mold remediation in Kensington Park, FL

Why Kensington Park homes grow mold

Older Kensington Park homes hold moisture in plaster, wood framing, and crawlspaces differently than modern block homes. Past storm leaks and aging roofs are frequent mold sources.

Kensington Park is a residential area northeast of downtown Sarasota. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 3,620 residents in Kensington Park. The median year of construction is about 1965, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in Kensington Park often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Insurance and your claim

Mold that follows a covered sudden leak may be covered only up to a mold limit, which is often small. Long-term leaks are often excluded. We document the work for your insurer, and you keep the claim.
