Licensed mold removal in West Lealman

Where mold starts in West Lealman

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

West Lealman is an unincorporated area in south-central Pinellas, west of Lealman and north of St. Petersburg. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 14,277 residents in West Lealman. The median year of construction is about 1973, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in West Lealman often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Our mold process

1. Inspect and take moisture readings to find the extent of the growth and the water feeding it.
2. Cut out porous materials with growth instead of painting over them.
3. HEPA-vacuum and clean framing and hard surfaces.
4. Dry the area and point out the moisture source so it can be fixed.
5. Document the work with photos for your records and your insurer.
