From historic bungalows near Atlantic Avenue to Intracoastal homes, Delray Beach buildings have seen decades of humidity and storms.
Older homes in Pineapple Grove and the Old School Square area can have original roofs, windows and plumbing. Waterfront homes near the Intracoastal and Lake Ida deal with moist air and storm-driven rain, and condominiums near the beach have shared walls that can carry a leak from one unit to the next.
We also help restaurants, shops and offices along Atlantic Avenue. Tell us the type of business, how large the affected area is and whether you need to keep operating, and we will explain how we plan the work.
Mold frequently develops behind finished surfaces, so the clues may not be obvious. Keep an eye out for:
A mold inspection, sometimes called an assessment, involves looking for mold and moisture and may include air or surface sampling. Remediation means removing the mold and correcting the conditions that allowed it to grow. Florida regulates mold assessment and mold remediation as separate professional roles, and generally the same company should not perform both on a single job. ASAP Restoration FL concentrates on remediation. If an assessment is needed, an independent licensed assessor can provide one, and licenses can be checked with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
The city pairs a lively Atlantic Avenue downtown and beach with Intracoastal waterfront and older neighborhoods constructed well before today’s moisture-control practices. In Delray Beach, our work covers historic homes around Old School Square and Pineapple Grove, beachside condominiums, Intracoastal waterfront houses, townhomes and 55-plus communities to the west, plus shops and restaurants along Atlantic Avenue.
Our service areas take in Atlantic Avenue, Pineapple Grove, Old School Square, Delray Beach public beach, Lake Ida and the Marina Historic District, and we also assist property owners in nearby Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Highland Beach, Gulf Stream and Lake Worth Beach. The city sits in Palm Beach County, roughly 12 miles from our Deerfield Beach office at 1805 S Powerline Rd. Give us your address when you call, and we will confirm timing.
Several factors change the cost: how large the affected area is, the materials involved, how difficult the area is to reach, whether the moisture source has already been fixed and whether rebuilding is necessary. Be wary of any price quoted without an inspection, and request a written scope that states what will be removed, cleaned and rebuilt.
Mold coverage differs widely. Some Florida policies cover mold only when it results from a covered event, and some set a cap on the amount. Review your policy, report the loss promptly, photograph the damage and keep receipts. Your insurer decides what is covered.
It can be. Older homes may still have original plumbing, aging roofs and windows, and walls that have soaked up years of humidity, so a slow leak can feed mold before anyone notices it.
We serve both homes and businesses. For commercial spaces, let us know the type of business, how large the affected area is and any timing needs, and we will walk you through the steps.
Mold can start growing on damp materials within 24 to 48 hours, which is why quick water removal and drying are important.
A very small spot on a hard surface may be manageable, but larger areas, mold inside walls or growth after a flood should be handled by professionals, since disturbing mold can spread spores through the building.
