Lighthouse Point is a boating city of canal front homes, many with deepwater docks a short run to the Hillsboro Inlet. 1960s and 1970s canal homes alongside new elevated construction.
Mold here tends to hide where owners rarely look: behind built ins on canal facing walls, inside cavities next to old sliding doors, and in the return air chases of older homes. Newer elevated homes can grow it under stairs and in ground level storage that took water. We set up containment, remove affected materials, HEPA vacuum and clean the framing, and prepare the space for clearance testing. In pre-1978 homes, a certified lead renovator on our team makes sure painted surfaces are handled safely during removal.
We handle mold remediation in Lighthouse Point 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 Lighthouse Point Building Department. 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.
- Do not paint over mold.
- Do not run fans across moldy surfaces.

Questions, answered
How do I know if mold is growing behind a wall?
A musty smell that will not go away, stained baseboards or bubbling paint are common signs. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find the wet areas and sample where it makes sense.
My home was built before 1978. Does that change mold removal?
It can. Old paint may contain lead, so cutting or sanding painted walls calls for lead safe work practices. A certified lead renovator on our team oversees that part of the job.
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.
