Mold inspection and remediation in Miami-Dade
Visible growth, musty smell, or a leak that sat too long. Florida requires a licensed assessor and a separately licensed remediator for mold over 10 square feet. Get connected with both through one call.
Mold in Miami is a when, not an if, once something stays wet. It is also the most regulated part of this trade in Florida: for anything larger than about 10 square feet, the state licenses who may assess it and who may remove it, and requires those to be different companies. That rule protects you, and it changes how a mold job is sequenced.
Call or send the form. The line can connect you with a licensed mold assessor, a licensed remediator, or both, depending on where you are in the process.
The order Florida expects
- Assessment: a licensed mold assessor (MRSA) inspects, takes air or surface samples as needed, identifies the moisture source, and writes a remediation protocol that says what to remove and how.
- Remediation: a separately licensed mold remediator (MRSR) follows the protocol: containment, negative air, removal of affected materials, HEPA cleaning, and drying of the cause.
- Clearance: the assessor returns and tests to confirm the protocol worked. You get a written clearance for your records, your insurer, or a future buyer.
- The assessor and remediator on one job cannot be the same company. A company offering to "test and remove" in one visit is either working under 10 square feet or not following the law.
When you probably need this
- Visible growth on drywall, ceilings, cabinets, or behind furniture on exterior walls.
- A musty smell that comes back when the AC runs, or from a closet or bathroom.
- A leak or flood that was not dried within a couple of days, even if it looks fine now.
- Water stains that keep growing, bubbling paint, soft drywall.
- A home sale or purchase where the inspector flagged moisture.
What we will not say
This site does not make health claims about mold. If someone in the house has asthma, allergies, or a compromised immune system and there is mold, talk to a doctor; the Florida Department of Health publishes plain guidance. And do not spray bleach on it: it does not address wet material, it can make the growth harder to see, and it complicates the assessor's sampling.
Verify the licenses
Ask the assessor for their MRSA number and the remediator for their MRSR number and check both on MyFloridaLicense.com. Ask for IICRC certification (AMRT) too. A license lookup takes a minute and rules out the companies that show up after storms with a van and a fogger.
