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.

- 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 Kissimmee?
Yes, including ZIPs 34741, 34744, 34746, 34743. 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.
