Lake Hunter Terrace lies west of Dixieland on the slope down to Lake Hunter, platted in the early 1900s and listed on the National Register in 2002. The houses are a mix of vernacular frame cottages, Craftsman bungalows, and a few Classical and Mediterranean Revival homes, in wood frame and masonry, most of them a century old.
Lake Hunter is the detail. It is the lake the city has ranked first among nine that need cleanup, it sits low, and the streets nearest it hold water after a heavy rain. A pier-and-beam cottage on the low side of the neighborhood has a crawl space that stays wet into the dry season, and the floor above it smells.
A Lake Hunter Terrace call on this line reaches an independent local mold provider who works Lakeland's old west side. That provider meters the floor and the plaster and tells you what comes out.
The frame cottages on the higher streets have a different weak point: windows and siding on the west side that take the afternoon storms head on. Water that gets behind century-old siding sits against the sheathing, and the plaster inside shows it as a stain that grows every summer and fades every winter without ever drying.
A smell that rises through the floor on humid mornings is mold odor removal. Soft plaster under a window on the weather side is mold removal. Lath and plaster put back to match is mold damage repair.
Call (863) 375-7712 and tell us what you see or smell. An independent mold provider serving Lake Hunter Terrace takes it from there.
Growth on drywall behind a leaking supply line, a window that took wind-driven rain, or a wet slab edge: room sealed, wet board cut to the meter line, framing cleaned and dried.
A dark patch on a wall or ceiling handled by how far the water went, not its color: containment, porous material out, block and framing cleaned, leak fixed before closing.
A house that sat wet after Milton, Ian, or a burst line while you were away, mapped room by room and cleared in zones as one project.
Coil, drain pan, and condensate line cleaned or replaced when the air handler in a Lakeland closet or garage sweats through a nine-month cooling season.
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a bungalow bathroom ceiling with no fan, removed with the leak or the venting fixed first.
Growth on roof decking under lifted shingles or around a sweating duct, cleaned and treated once the roof and the insulation are dealt with.
A musty smell in a house that looks fine, traced to the wet material under the floor or behind the cabinet, then removed and treated.
Drywall, baseboard, cabinet bottoms, and ceiling put back after removal, once the slab and framing read dry and the water source is repaired.
