About Lake Nona
Lake Nona is the newest part of Orlando, built out since the 2000s around Medical City and the lakes south of the airport. 89% of homes in 32827 and 94% in 32832 were built in 2000 or later; the median in 32832 is 2013. New construction here is tight and well sealed, which makes humidity a design problem: an oversized AC that cools fast and shuts off never runs long enough to dry the air. Flood claims are rare, 54 on record across both ZIPs.

How it works

Questions
Do you cover all of Lake Nona?
Yes, including ZIPs 32827, 32832. 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.
