The Why

Why Mold Rid Of Exists

Florida law (Chapter 468, Part XVI) restricts the same entity from performing both mold assessment and mold remediation on the same property within defined time periods, with specific exceptions. The policy intent is simple: reduce the conflict of interest when the same company that diagnoses the problem also profits from solving it.

In practice, most Florida mold companies hold both licenses (MRSA for assessment and MRSR for remediation) and route work between two arms of the same business. The legal letter is met. The legal spirit is broken.

Mold Rid Of holds only the MRSA license (#3958). We test, document, and walk away. There is no remediation upsell because there is no remediation team. Our only product is the truth, delivered in a lab-verified report within 24 to 48 hours.

I founded Mold Rid Of because Florida homeowners deserve at least one option where the inspector has zero financial reason to find more mold than is actually there. That is the company. That is the business model. That is the entire promise.

In the media

Educating Florida homeowners about the assessment-vs-remediation conflict.

Most Florida homeowners do not know that the company finding the mold and the company removing it should legally be separate. I built Mold Rid Of, a content engine, and a public voice to fix that.
