Mold cleanup for South Sarasota homes and businesses

Why South Sarasota homes grow mold

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

South Sarasota is the area between the city of Sarasota and Siesta Key's mainland approaches, near Phillippi Creek and Sarasota Bay. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 4,855 residents in South Sarasota. The median year of construction is about 1978, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in South Sarasota often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.
