About Apopka
Apopka runs from its downtown along US 441 north toward Lake Apopka, Wekiva Springs and Zellwood. It barely flooded in Ian: 2 Ian claims across 32703 and 32712, against 54 flood claims on record in all. The north ZIP is newer (45% built in 2000 or later) and mostly owner occupied. Here the water usually comes from above, a roof after a storm or an AC condensate line in the attic, rather than from the street.

Services in Apopka
How it works
- Tell us what you found. Use the form or text photos. Say roughly how big the area is and whether there's been a leak, a storm or an AC problem.
- A local company calls you back. They ask a few questions and book a time to look.
- You get the scope and price in writing before work starts. Florida requires mold contracts to be in writing, and for growth over 10 square feet the work takes a state mold remediator license.
Questions
Do you cover all of Apopka?
Yes, including ZIPs 32703, 32712. The company that calls you will confirm your address is in its area.
How fast can someone come out?
It depends on the day and the season; the weeks after a hurricane are the busiest. Say in your request if water is still coming in or if someone at home has asthma. The company will tell you when it can come.
Do I need a mold assessor first?
Florida doesn't require one before remediation. But if you hire an assessor, that company can't do the removal on your house for 12 months, which is the point: the assessment is independent. For a small patch under 10 square feet, or a homeowner doing their own work, no license is required.
