The older masonry homes and large estates of Palm Beach face salt air, humid summers and the demands of larger properties.
On a barrier island between the ocean and the Intracoastal, salt air wears on seals, paint and metal, which can let moisture in at windows, doors and rooflines over time. Older masonry and stucco homes can hold moisture inside walls, and larger estates have more plumbing, more roof and more air conditioning equipment.
We approach each property as it is built: we look for the moisture source, protect the rest of the home during work and explain the written scope clearly before starting.
Mold requires moisture, a food source and time. When you see any of these signs, it makes sense to trace the moisture back to its source:
These are two separate jobs, though they are often confused. An assessment identifies mold and moisture and may involve sampling; remediation removes the mold and fixes the moisture problem. Florida treats these as distinct roles, and as a rule one company should not do both on the same property. Our work is on the remediation side. If you prefer an assessment first, hire an independent licensed assessor and confirm the license with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
The Town of Palm Beach sits on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, with salt air, historic masonry homes and large estates. In Palm Beach we work with large oceanfront and Intracoastal estates, older masonry and stucco homes, historic buildings, and condominiums and shops around Worth Avenue and Royal Palm Way.
Areas we serve include Worth Avenue, Royal Palm Way, Palm Beach Lakefront, Everglades Island, Phipps Ocean Park and Southern Boulevard, and we also help property owners in nearby West Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Manalapan, Singer Island and Riviera Beach. Palm Beach is in Palm Beach County, about 29 miles from our Deerfield Beach office at 1805 S Powerline Rd. Tell us your address when you call and we will confirm timing.
Mold jobs vary in cost. The size of the affected area, the material type, access, the condition of the moisture source and the amount of rebuilding needed all play a part. A price given over the phone without seeing the property is only a guess, so request a written estimate after a walkthrough and ask what it does and does not cover.
Many Florida homeowners policies cap or exclude mold unless it stems from a covered loss, such as a sudden pipe break, and some place a dollar limit on mold claims. Read your policy, notify your insurer promptly after a loss and keep photos and records. Your insurer decides whether a claim is covered.
Yes. Bigger properties mean more rooms, more plumbing and larger air conditioning systems, so we plan the inspection and the work areas around the property. Tell us the size and what you see.
Over time, salt air can wear on seals, paint and metal, which can let moisture in at windows, doors and roofs. Mold needs moisture, not salt, so the focus is on finding and fixing any leaks.
It can if the moisture source is left unresolved. Remediation addresses the cause, such as a leak or high humidity, so the mold does not simply come back.
Bleach may fade the stain on a hard surface, but it cannot reach mold growing inside porous materials like drywall, and it does not correct the moisture problem.
