Wellington is the winter equestrian capital, with show barns, polo estates and large homes in the Equestrian Preserve. Estates with barns, staff quarters and several structures each.
Staff apartments, guest houses and barn offices are often shut or lightly used for part of the year, and Florida humidity takes advantage of every one. Air handlers in outbuildings tend to get less attention than the main house and can leak or ice up unnoticed. A licensed mold remediator on our team leads containment, removal and cleaning in each affected building, and we chase down the moisture source in every one. Clearance by an independent assessor is welcome before the season's arrivals move in.
We handle mold remediation in Wellington 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 Village of Wellington 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.
- Do not paint over mold.
- Do not run fans across moldy surfaces.
- Do not tear out moldy drywall yourself.

Questions, answered
Can you remediate mold before the season starts?
Yes. Scheduling the inspection ahead of the riders' arrival gives us room to contain, remove and dry without rushing.
Does mold in the barn affect the horses?
Mold and dust in enclosed spaces are a concern for animals as well as people, so talk with your veterinarian about the horses. We focus on removing the growth and correcting the moisture in the structures.
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.
