Lake Worth Beach is 1920s to 1950s homes in College Park and the city's historic districts, plus waterfront homes on the Lake Worth Lagoon. Many pre-1978 wood frame homes.
Mold in older wood frame houses often starts under the floor, on attic sheathing, or inside walls behind old roof or window leaks. Termite damage and past repairs can hide moisture paths. We find the source, contain the work area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and treat framing that can stay. Because so many of these homes are pre-1978, lead safe practices are set up before walls or trim are opened.
We handle mold remediation in Lake Worth Beach from the first call to the final walkthrough. Demolition, debris removal and dumpsters run on our own crews and equipment, and licensed trades handle any permitted work through City of Lake Worth Beach Building Division. One company, one project manager, one schedule.
Before we arrive
What to do, and what to leave alone, while the crew is on the way.
Do this now
- Turn off the air conditioning if mold is near a vent, closet air handler or return.
- Close the door to the affected room.
- Find and stop any obvious water source.
- Keep kids, pets and anyone with asthma out of the area.
Avoid
- Do not spray bleach. It does not fix porous materials and can spread spores.

Questions, answered
Can mold remediation affect our historic home's features?
We aim to save original materials by cleaning and treating them rather than removing them. When something has to come out, we photograph it so it can be matched or reproduced.
Will I need a permit for mold work?
Mold removal on its own usually does not need a building permit, but rebuilding walls or touching electrical or plumbing does. Licensed trades handle that permitted work with the City of Lake Worth Beach Building Division.
Are you licensed for mold remediation in Florida?
Yes. Barraza Industries holds a Florida Mold Remediator license and Applied Microbial Remediation certification. Florida requires a license for mold remediation over 10 square feet.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Our restoration lead holds Florida Mold Remediator License MRSR2859, Lead Renovator Certification 183166 and Florida DOH biohazard registration 13-64-1716182, with certifications in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying and Applied Microbial Remediation. We carry $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate general liability and issue certificates to HOAs, condo associations and property managers on request.
Do I have to sign over my insurance benefits?
No. Florida banned assignment of benefits on residential property policies issued on or after January 1, 2023, and we do not ask for one. You contract with us directly, stay in control of your claim, and we give your adjuster the documentation.
