Sarasota Mold Removal Co. handles the full chain Gulf Coast humidity produces: remediation ($500–$6,000), inspection and testing (free to $900), attic work (from $1,500), AC and duct cleanup (from $600), and water damage drying (from $1,000) — each preceded by a free inspection with moisture readings.
Mold Remediation
Containment, HEPA filtration, and removal — done to the standard, with the water source fixed first.
Mold Inspection & Testing
Moisture readings, humidity logging, and testing when testing actually changes the plan.
Attic Mold Removal
Sheathing remediation plus the ventilation and bath-fan corrections that keep it gone.
AC & Duct Mold Cleanup
Air handlers, coils, and ductwork — the system that is supposed to control humidity, not grow mold.
Water Damage Restoration
Extraction and structural drying, fast enough to keep a water problem from becoming a mold problem.

Why the services come as a set
Humidity doesn't specialize. The same wet-season moisture that grows something behind a closet wall condenses in the air handler, collects on attic sheathing above a bath fan, and turns a small water event into a remediation job. Companies organized around one product sell that product. We're organized around the moisture, which is why an inspection reads the whole chain and the scope includes only the links your house actually needs.
Which service fixes which problem
| What you have | What's driving it | The work | Typical range | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visible growth on walls, ceilings, or trim | Sustained indoor humidity or a specific water source | Containment and HEPA removal | $500–$6,000 | 1–3 days |
| Musty smell, nothing visible | Growth in a cavity, duct chase, or under flooring | Inspection and testing | Free–$900 | About an hour |
| Dark attic sheathing, bath fan venting inside | Indoor moisture reaching the attic, ventilation unbalanced | Attic remediation and venting | $1,500–$6,000 | 1–2 days |
| Musty air from the vents, growth at the air handler | Condensation in a system that is wet by design | AC and duct cleanup | $600–$3,500 | 1 day |
| Storm intrusion, plumbing failure, wet flooring | Bulk water on a 24-to-48-hour clock | Extraction and drying | $1,000–$8,000 | 3–5 days |
Most homes here need one of these plus a humidity correction — and the humidity correction is usually the cheaper half.
Sequence is the service
Anyone can scrub a wall. The skill in this market is ordering the work so it stays fixed: identify and stop the moisture source first, contain before removing, remove rather than treat, dry to a measured target rather than a schedule, and rebuild only when the readings allow it. Our scopes are written in that order with fixed prices per line, and lines the readings don't justify simply aren't on them.
Service questions
Which service do I actually need?
The inspection answers that in about an hour. Visible growth points to remediation; a musty smell with no source points to inspection and testing; dark attic sheathing points to attic work; a smell from the vents points to the AC system; standing water points to extraction and drying, immediately. The inspection is free precisely so the diagnosis doesn't depend on what we'd like to sell.
Do you charge for inspections?
No. Moisture readings by location, indoor humidity, air handler and drain line, bath fan terminations, exterior intrusion points, photographs, and a written scope with fixed prices are free across all ten communities we serve — including the visits that end with 'buy a dehumidifier' rather than an invoice.
Can one company handle the mold and the moisture source?
That's the point of the stack, and here it's the difference between a repair and a subscription. Remediation, attic work, AC cleanup, and drying are one humidity problem wearing four costumes. What we don't do is assess and remediate the same project when Florida law separates those roles — we'll say so when an independent assessment is the right call.
