Mold Removal in North Lauderdale, FL

Hurricane Wilma crossed Broward County on October 24, 2005, and up to 98 percent of South Florida lost electrical service. Around 1.2 million customers in Broward and Miami-Dade were dark, some for two weeks. In North Lauderdale that meant closed-up homes with no air conditioning in late October heat, and damp drywall that had nowhere to dry.

That storm is still the reference point here. North Lauderdale is a compact city of single-family homes, townhomes, and small condo buildings, many with the air handler in a garage or interior closet and the ducts in a hot attic. A power outage of even a few days lets condensation build inside the ducts, and the smell shows up when the system starts again.

Homeowners in North Lauderdale can use this site to reach an independent mold provider who serves the city. The provider does the work. This site only puts the two of you on the phone.

The three calls that come from North Lauderdale

Stains on the ceiling under a roof valley or a vent boot call for attic mold remediation, which covers the deck, the trusses, and the insulation above the drywall. A sour smell at every supply register, especially after a storm or a long shutdown, is HVAC mold cleaning territory. And when the smell is there but the source is not obvious, a mold inspection with moisture readings comes before anything is opened up.

City permits and the city's own water plant

North Lauderdale's Community Development Department handles permits through its Citizen Self Service portal and the county's ePermitsOneStop program. Details are on the city's e-Permit page, and the department can be reached at 954-724-7069.

The city also runs its own water plant, a lime-softening facility that treats well water for the whole city. Because the utility is local, a question about an unexplained jump in the bill goes to city hall, not the county.
