Mold cleanup for Venice Gardens homes and businesses

Mold problems we see in Venice Gardens

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

Venice Gardens is a neighborhood of 1960s and 1970s homes just east of the city of Venice. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 3,301 residents in Venice Gardens. The median year of construction is about 1968, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Canal-front homes in Venice Gardens sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms. Older housing in Venice Gardens 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.

What remediation includes

1. Seal off the work area with plastic sheeting before anything is disturbed.
2. Run HEPA air filtration and negative air during the work.
3. Remove drywall, insulation, carpet, and other porous materials that cannot be cleaned.
4. Clean the remaining structure with HEPA vacuums and wipe-downs.
5. Document the work with photos for your records and your insurer.

Before we arrive
