Licensed Mold Remediators in Florida

A mold remediator removes, cleans, sanitizes or otherwise treats mold and mold-contaminated material. The listings below hold an active Florida mold remediator (MRSR) license from DBPR.

Why choose this

  • A licensed remediator removes, cleans or treats mold-contaminated material, which Florida defines as remediation when it covers more than 10 square feet.
  • Remediators set up containment to keep spores and dust from spreading into clean parts of the building during the work.
  • Working from an assessor's written protocol gives the remediator a clear scope and gives you something to check the work against.

Things to consider

  • Mold comes back if the moisture source isn't fixed. Make sure someone is responsible for the leak, flood damage or humidity problem.
  • Rebuilding drywall, flooring or cabinets after removal may be separate work that needs a licensed contractor.
  • Under Florida law the remediator (or their company) generally may not do the assessment on a structure they remediated within the last 12 months.

Questions to ask

  • Their DBPR license number and type (MRSA or MRSR), so you can confirm it is current and active on myfloridalicense.com.
  • Proof of the insurance Florida requires for their license type, with your property named on the certificate if possible.
  • A written contract that describes the work, the areas covered and what the price includes.
  • Whether they will follow an assessor's written remediation protocol, and how they handle anything found beyond it.
  • What containment, air filtration and protective equipment they use, and how they keep the rest of the home clean.
  • Who does the post-remediation clearance check, and what happens if the area doesn't pass.
  • Whether the moisture source repair and any rebuild are included, or need another licensed trade.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as mold remediation in Florida?

Section 468.8411, Florida Statutes, defines mold remediation as the removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition or other treatment, including preventive activities, of mold or mold-contaminated matter of greater than 10 square feet that was not purposely grown at that location. Work that needs a construction license under chapter 489 must be done by someone licensed under that chapter.

How do I know the remediation is finished?

EPA's remediation guide says the water or moisture problem must be completely fixed, visible mold, mold-damaged materials and moldy odors should not be present, and people should be able to occupy the space without health complaints. Many owners also have an independent assessor do a post-remediation assessment before walls are closed.

What insurance must a Florida mold remediator carry?

Section 468.8421, Florida Statutes, requires a mold remediator to maintain a general liability policy of at least $1,000,000 that includes specific coverage for mold-related claims. Ask for a certificate of insurance.
