Mold is one of the most common household problems in Florida, thriving in the state’s warm, humid climate. When moisture from leaks, flooding, or poor ventilation lingers, mold can grow within 24 to 48 hours, spreading through walls, ceilings, and HVAC systems. At Gage Nelson Handyman Service, we provide professional mold remediation services across Florida to restore healthy indoor environments and prevent structural damage.
Our specialists follow EPA and CDC guidelines for safe mold removal, containment, and disinfection. Whether you’re dealing with visible mold patches or hidden infestations behind drywall, we combine advanced tools with local expertise to deliver lasting results.
According to the Florida Department of Health, indoor mold exposure is one of the leading causes of respiratory irritation and allergies in the state. Florida’s average humidity levels exceed 74%, creating an ideal breeding ground for mold spores. Studies show that 1 in 3 homes in coastal areas experience moisture-related mold problems annually.
Mold is not just an aesthetic problem; it’s a health hazard. Common symptoms from exposure include:
Our mission is to protect your home and your family through efficient, safe, and affordable mold remediation.
We provide comprehensive mold remediation services for residential and small commercial properties throughout Florida. Our approach ensures that both visible and hidden mold colonies are fully eradicated.
Our process begins with a detailed inspection using moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and air quality testing to detect active mold growth and identify its moisture source. We document all findings to guide effective remediation.
Before removal, we isolate contaminated areas with plastic sheeting and negative air machines to prevent mold spores from spreading. Our team uses protective gear and HEPA filtration equipment for air purification.
We safely remove contaminated drywall, insulation, and porous materials while cleaning non-porous surfaces with EPA-registered fungicides. Our technicians scrub, vacuum, and disinfect using HEPA air scrubbers to eliminate airborne spores.
We ensure that underlying moisture sources, like leaks, poor drainage, or condensation, are corrected. Using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, we dry affected materials to prevent mold regrowth.
Once cleanup is complete, we offer preventive treatments such as anti-microbial coatings and moisture barrier applications. As a full-service handyman company, we can also handle repairs like drywall replacement, interior painting, and minor carpentry.
