Treasure Island is a barrier-island city of beach condos and canal homes between St. Pete Beach and Madeira Beach. Helene's surge in 2024 flooded much of the city. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 6,590 residents in Treasure Island. The median year of construction is about 1972, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Treasure Island is on a barrier island exposed to Gulf storm surge and wind-driven rain. Recent hurricanes have pushed water into ground floors and low streets. Canal-front homes in Treasure Island sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms.

Treasure Island: local context

Roughly 29% 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. Treasure Island is about 8 miles west of St. Petersburg. About 33% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so shared walls and ceilings let moisture travel between units. Median year built: 1972. That matters because older wall assemblies and past storm leaks give moisture more places to hide.

3. Run HEPA air filtration and negative air during the work.
