Mold Remediation for West Palm Beach Homes
West Palm Beach runs from 1920s and 30s houses in the historic districts to condo buildings put up in the last 25 years, and mold shows up in both for different reasons. In the older houses, it follows the slow leaks: around windows, under sinks, behind a bath that has been redone more than once. In the condo towers downtown, it starts in AC closets, where the drain pan and condensate line keep things damp, or in a wall shared with a unit that had a leak. Half the homes in the city are rented (Census ACS 2019-2023), so tenants often find it first. Do not scrub or bleach a large patch. Book the free in-person inspection instead.

What to Do About Mold
Your price is confirmed before work starts, with no hidden fees.
Leave It Alone
Do not scrub, sand or tear out moldy material yourself. Disturbing it sends spores through the house.
Find the Water
Mold follows moisture. Note any leak, drip or damp spot nearby, and have a plumber or roofer fix the source.
Photograph It
Take photos of the growth and any water stains nearby, for your records and your insurer.

What Mold Remediation Costs
Mold is not priced until someone has seen how far it has spread and what is feeding it. That is why the first step is a free in-person inspection.
Removing mold without fixing the moisture behind it means it comes back, so look for the source too: a leak, a clogged AC drain line, or a house closed up with the air off.
Inspections are free. All offers
- Free
- in-person inspection before anything is priced.
- Source first
- Mold returns unless the moisture behind it is fixed.
- Do not disturb
- Scrubbing or sanding mold yourself spreads it through the house.

If You Rent
Tell your landlord or property manager in writing, with photos, and ask who is booking the inspection. Mold follows moisture, and the moisture source is usually the owner's repair.
Historic Districts
In El Cid and Flamingo Park, many houses have original hardwood and plaster that do not tolerate a wet cleanup. That is one more reason to have the extent seen in person before anything is opened up. Water in the house right now? See water damage restoration.
