Dania Beach was incorporated in 1904, which makes it the oldest city in Broward County, and the housing east of I-95 shows its age. Small block and frame houses from the decades after the war line the streets near the old downtown, many with original windows and plumbing. The city's own utilities are among the oldest in the county, and its capital plan lists water lines in residential neighborhoods that need replacing.
Old houses and old pipes are a poor combination in a wet climate. A supply line that weeps inside a wall, a roof that has been patched more than replaced, and a lot that sits low near the Intracoastal all give moisture a head start. Add a long cooling season and humidity inside a closed house, and a small leak becomes a wall of growth.
Dania Beach homeowners who call this site are connected with an independent local mold provider. That provider looks at the house and explains what it needs. The site does not do the work.
A musty room with no visible stain is why a mold inspection is the most common first step here, since older walls hide older leaks. Bathrooms in these homes often have tile over a damp wall, and bathroom mold removal means opening that wall up. When the growth is widespread, mold removal with containment and negative air keeps the rest of the house clean while it comes out.
Which utility serves your address depends on where you are. East of I-95, the city's Water Utility Operations handles service; west of I-95, water comes from Broward County Water and Wastewater Services. Knowing which one to call saves time when a leak is on the utility side of the meter.
Permits for rebuilding after remediation are filed through ePermits, a joint portal shared with Broward County. One filing covers the city permit and any county permit that goes with it.
