With over 20 years of professional environmental experience in the Gainesville area, Greenwood has the local knowledge and resources to ensure thorough Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for your Gainesville area commercial property.
Visual inspection of the entire building to determine all possible locations of mold growth and identify visible sources.
Tracing of moisture in building materials to identify the extent of water intrusion and potentially contaminated materials for mold growth. Air and surface sampling to determine where removal work is required and establish a baseline for remediation.
Collect all information and testing results from the site visit and build a Mold Remediation Work Plan to prescribe the methods and actions required to remove all mold from the building in accordance with the State of Florida guidelines and IICRC S500 and S520 and restore air quality to healthy standards.
Install containment systems to prevent the spread of mold during remediation work and begin de-contaminating areas.
Using air scrubbers and air sterilization techniques, begin filtering air in contaminated areas to trap and remove mold spores during remediation activities.
Being the removal process of visible mold growth and contaminated materials in the building. Dispose of water damaged and mold contaminated materials, furnishings, and other items. Thoroughly clean and sanitize all surface and non-removed items.
Repeat air quality testing and surface samples to ensure all mold have been removed. Schedule an independent mold assessor to perform Post Remediation Verification testing.
Remove all containment and air filtration devices from the property and provide a Post-Remediation Clearance Certificate and final remediation report to client.
With over 20 years of professional environmental experience in the Gainesville area, Greenwood has the local knowledge and resources to help with any mold problem you have. Our team is highly dedicated to making sure your home is safe and healthy, and free of all mold by utilizing our specialized mold removal and remediation practices.
Our team is experience in performing mold assessments, removal, and full remediation for many different types of properties in North Florida including:
Mold remediation can be completed in a quickly as a few hours, or take several days. The length of time depends highly on the scope of work and the degree of contamination. Remediation projects typically should not begin until the all wet materials are dry and all sources of water intrusion are eliminated. This can add to the length of time for total remediation.
Whether mold returns is highly dependent on the condition of the environment and whether underlying conditions were corrected. Once mold remediation is completed, mold should not return unless moisture continues to be present in the space. Our assessments will include recommendations or repairs to correct any water inputs to prevent future growth.
Typically mold contamination is isolated to specific locations or areas of buildings. Our team will install containment to prevent the spread of mold to other areas and limit the need to remove people from the building. In the event of heavy contamination, clearing of the entire building may be necessary. Any needs to vacate will be discussed during the initial assessment phase.
A mold assessment needs to be performed prior to beginning the remediation process. Testing however may not be necessary depending on the extent of contamination. Our team will perform baseline testing during the setup process for remediation and those costs will be included in the remediation cost.
Post-Remediation Verification testing will be required to be performed to obtain your mold clearance certification. This testing will need to be conducted by an independent mold assessor not associated with our team to ensure non-biased testing results. We can arrange this service or you can obtain your own assessor. This is an additional cost since our team is not performing this service.
Mold removal costs depend highly on the extent of contamination and the processes we need to utilize to completely remove all mold.
For small projects under 10 sq. ft. that do not require any removal of materials, our services start at $490. For projects that require containment, air filtration, material removal, and multiple days of on-site work, quotes can be provided with an no cost, no obligation site visit.
Mold remediation isn’t just a one‑time service, it’s part of a bigger picture of your home and health protection. In North Florida, constant humidity, porous building materials, and seasonal rainfall create a natural invitation for moisture. Preventing mold’s return means staying proactive long after remediation ends.
Preventive inspections catch early warning signs like minor leaks, subtle humidity spikes, or new microbial spots before they become expensive repairs.
Scheduling regular follow‑ups ensures your home remains dry, balanced, and safe year‑round.
Routine humidity control is another essential habit. Keeping indoor relative humidity around 45–55 percent reduces the chance of mold colonies re‑establishing. HVAC maintenance, whole‑home dehumidifiers, and monitored ventilation help maintain stability even during Ocala and Gainesville’s muggy summers.
And don’t overlook what’s below. Crawlspace ventilation and moisture barriers stop condensation and rising damp from feeding mold growth under floors. By integrating these preventive systems with our other environmental services, you build a complete defense network around your home.
Greenwood’s Environmental Division specialists offer comprehensive solutions extending beyond cleanup. Combine your remediation plan with:
Together, these services safeguard both your property’s integrity and your family’s well‑being so you can enjoy Florida’s climate from the comfort of a healthier, cleaner home.
