Talk to someone now about the mold in your Lakeland home
Describe what got wet and where the growth or the smell is now. The call goes to an independent local provider who handles mold removal and remediation across Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, and the rest of Polk County.
- Say what let the water in: a roof during Milton or Ian, a window that took wind-driven rain, a supply line, a water heater, or the AC condensate line.
- Tell them whether the house sat closed up for the summer or through a long power outage after a storm.
- Mention where the musty smell is strongest and whether it gets worse when the air handler runs.
- Say whether the growth is on drywall, a bungalow's plaster, block, tile grout, a cabinet floor, or the roof decking in the attic.
- Tell them if a roofer or plumber has already stopped the leak, and when.
- Mention anyone in the house with asthma or breathing trouble so the crew plans containment around them.
- Have the property address and a number where you can be reached.
