Mold in Pompano Beach homes and condos

Many older Pompano Beach homes have original plumbing, aging roofs and walls that have absorbed years of humidity. Near the beach and the Intracoastal, condominiums add shared walls and shared pipes.

We help property owners across Pompano Beach, including areas around Palm Aire, Old Pompano and the Atlantic Boulevard corridor. As a close neighbor of our Deerfield Beach office, we can usually get an inspection scheduled quickly once you call.

Typical mold warning signs in Pompano Beach

Mold frequently develops behind finished surfaces, so the clues may be easy to miss. Keep an eye out for:

Mold inspection versus mold remediation

A mold inspection, sometimes called an assessment, searches for mold and moisture and may involve 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 two 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 verified with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

How mold remediation works

  1. Locate and stop the moisture source, since mold will come back if the leak or humidity issue is left alone.
  2. Set up containment around the work area so spores do not travel to other parts of the building.
  3. Take out mold-damaged porous materials that cannot be cleaned, such as drywall and insulation, and clean surfaces that can be saved.
  4. Run air filtration and clean thoroughly to cut down airborne spores and dust.
  5. Dry the area and rebuild or repair whatever was removed.
  6. Arrange a re-check of the area after remediation when insurance, real estate or tenant requirements call for it.

Where we help in and around Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach stretches from the Atlantic beachfront west across the Intracoastal Waterway to Cypress Creek and the inland neighborhoods, which means oceanfront high-rises and older inland homes share the same city. In Pompano Beach, our work covers oceanfront and Intracoastal condominiums, single-story concrete block homes built in the mid-century decades, townhome and villa communities, and commercial buildings along Federal Highway and Atlantic Boulevard.

Areas we serve include the Pompano Beach Pier area, Hillsboro Inlet, Cypress Creek, Palm Aire, Old Pompano and Atlantic Boulevard, and we also assist property owners in nearby Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach, Coconut Creek, Oakland Park and Margate. Pompano Beach is in Broward County, roughly 4 miles from our Deerfield Beach office at 1805 S Powerline Rd. When you call, give us your address and we will confirm timing.

What affects the cost of mold remediation

Several things change the cost: the size of the affected area, the materials involved, how difficult the area is to reach, whether the moisture source has already been fixed and whether rebuilding is required. Be wary of any price quoted without an inspection, and request a written scope that spells out what will be removed, cleaned and rebuilt.

Mold and insurance in Florida

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work near Pompano Beach and Lighthouse Point?

Yes. Pompano Beach is among our closest service areas, and we also work in neighboring cities such as Lighthouse Point and Deerfield Beach.

Why do older Pompano Beach homes have hidden moisture problems?

Many older concrete block homes still have original plumbing, aging roofs and windows, and walls that have taken in years of humidity. A small leak can remain behind a wall or beneath a floor for a long time before any staining appears.

What time of year is mold worst in South Florida?

Mold can be an issue here all year, but the hot, wet summer and hurricane season increase the risk because of heavy rain, humidity and storm leaks.

Do I need to leave my home during mold remediation?

That depends on the size and location of the work. Containment protects the rest of the property, but some people prefer to stay elsewhere during larger jobs. We will explain what to expect for your property.
