Inverrary was built as a golf community in the early 1970s, and its condo towers went up fast. The Manors of Inverrary dates to 1971, the Lakes of Inverrary to the same year, and the Falls of Inverrary, with 750 units, to 1973. That is a lot of fifty-year-old plumbing stacks, window frames, and rooftop equipment sitting over occupied units.
Buildings that age in a wet climate share one pattern. A stack leak or a roof drain problem wets the top floor first, and the units below find out one by one as the ceiling stains show up. Lauderhill's low elevation and long cooling season mean nothing dries on its own once the water gets in.
Lauderhill homeowners and condo owners who call this site are connected with an independent mold provider who works locally. The provider does the looking and the fixing. This site is only the phone connection.
A mold inspection is the usual starting point in a condo, because the source is often outside the unit and the association will want a written finding. Units where the smell follows the air conditioning need HVAC mold cleaning, especially where the air handler shares a closet with the water heater. The small interior bathrooms in these floor plans, with no window and a weak fan, keep bathroom mold removal on the list year round.
The City of Lauderhill Building Department is located inside the Ken Thurston Inverrary Community Center at 3300 Inverrary Boulevard. Permits for plumbing, drywall, and roofing go through that office, and the city also runs its own water and stormwater utilities.
Florida requires a separate state license for mold assessment and for mold remediation, both issued by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The rules limit one company from assessing and then remediating the same property, so a condo board will often want two different names on the paperwork. Licenses can be checked at MyFloridaLicense.com.
