Mold Removal in Coral Springs, FL

Most of Coral Springs went up in the 1980s and 1990s as concrete block homes with tile roofs and a canal behind the yard, from Ramblewood East to the newer sections. Block walls do not rot, but the drywall furred against them does, and the attic above a tile roof holds the air handler and the ducts in the hottest air in the house. A cracked tile or a failed underlayment sends water into that attic first.

The canals are managed by the Coral Springs Improvement District and other drainage districts, and they keep the streets clear in a normal summer storm. Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 was not a normal storm. Roofs across Coral Springs lost tiles and underlayment, and ceilings stayed wet while the power was out.

When a Coral Springs homeowner calls, we put them through to an independent mold provider working in the area. The provider takes the readings and writes the quote.

What Coral Springs owners call about

Stains on a bedroom ceiling after a roof leak lead to attic mold remediation, where the insulation and the underside of the deck get checked, not just the drywall below. Mold odor removal is the usual call when there is a smell but nothing to see, since block homes hide moisture behind furring strips and the crew has to read the wall to find it. Once the source is found, mold removal takes out the affected drywall and cleans the block behind it.

Permits, water, and canal drainage

Roof repairs and plumbing changes need a permit from the City of Coral Springs Building Department at 9500 West Sample Road. Ask the provider whether the rebuild phase is theirs or a separate contractor's, because the permit goes with whoever does the reconstruction.

Water and drainage depend on the address. The city's own water utility serves much of Coral Springs, while the Coral Springs Improvement District serves other sections and issues permits for work near its canals and easements. If a canal bank behind the house is washing out toward the slab, that is a district question before it is a mold question.
