Mold remediation in Gladeview typically costs $1,800 – $6,500 depending on how far moisture has traveled inside your walls, and most jobs on the west side of NW 37th Ave can be started within 24 to 48 hours of your first call at (850) 909-7064. Gladeview’s 1950s and 60s concrete block homes don’t dry the way newer construction does, which means surface cleaning alone almost never solves the problem. Moisture gets trapped in the block itself, feeds mold behind the drywall, and comes right back. That’s the reality our crews work with every week, and why we approach every Gladeview job with moisture mapping before we ever touch a wall.
We know these blocks, these flat roofs, and the way a clogged drain on a 1962 duplex sends water into a shared CBS wall cavity. That local knowledge changes how we scope, contain, and dry each job. If you’re smelling something musty after a heavy rain, call us before you paint over it. You need a written price, a real arrival time, and a team that understands Gladeview construction. That’s what we deliver.
Why Wendell Restoration Miami Is Gladeview’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Homeowners across Gladeview call us because we answer the phone with a live person, every time, and we put the price in writing before any work begins. There’s no vague four-hour window and no number that changes at the door. When our uniformed, background-checked technicians pull up to a home near Gladeview Park or off NW 61st St, you already know who’s coming, when they’ll be there, and exactly what the job costs.
Our work follows IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, and we use professional equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, B-Air, and Injectidry. It’s the same gear and the same protocols you’d see on a large commercial loss site, scaled to a 900-square-foot CBS duplex. After the job, you get before-and-after photos by text. On every repair, we include the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it isn’t done right, we make it right. That’s the standard for Mold Remediation in Gladeview, and we’ve held it since 2006.
Restoration work we handle






Professional Mold Removal in Gladeview
Professional Mold Removal in Gladeview means more than scrubbing the surface of a wall; it means finding where the water is coming from, containing the affected area, removing saturated materials, treating the masonry behind them, and drying the structure until a moisture meter says it’s actually dry. In a concrete block house, if you skip the block and only pull the drywall, the mold returns. We see it constantly in homes where a previous contractor dried the surface and walked away.
A typical mold removal job in Gladeview runs $2,200 – $6,500 depending on square footage, how many rooms are affected, and whether the concrete block itself needs antimicrobial treatment and structural drying. Small jobs, like a single bathroom or closet, can land around $1,800 – $2,500. Larger jobs that involve multiple rooms or a shared duplex wall cavity push toward the top of that range.
Containment and Structural Drying
Before we remove anything, we seal the work area with negative air pressure so mold spores don’t blow through your living room or into the neighbor’s side of the duplex. In Gladeview’s 1960s duplexes, shared wall cavities are common, and skipping containment means whatever we disturb travels. We don’t skip it.
Then we dry the structure, not just the room. That means air movers, dehumidifiers, and in block walls, Injectidry panels or similar systems that pull moisture out of the masonry itself. A wall can feel dry to the touch and still read 25% moisture inside the block. That’s the kind of detail that keeps mold from coming back in three months.
Antimicrobial Treatment for Block Walls
Once the affected drywall is removed and the area is dry, we treat the concrete block with an antimicrobial solution to kill what’s embedded in the masonry. Then we re-inspect before any new drywall goes up. If the block isn’t treated, you’re building a fresh food source for whatever spores survived.
Mold Inspection in Gladeview
Mold Inspection in Gladeview is the step that tells you whether what you’re smelling is a small surface issue or something living inside your walls. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find water you can’t see, especially in older concrete block homes where moisture travels through masonry and shows up far from the original leak. A standard inspection runs $350 – $600 depending on the size of the home and whether you need air sampling for a specific mold type.
If you’re buying or selling a home in Gladeview, or if you’ve had a leak and want to know whether the drying worked, an inspection gives you a written record of what we found, where, and what the moisture readings were. It’s the difference between guessing and knowing.
Thermal Imaging and Moisture Mapping
Moisture inside a flat-roofed CBS home doesn’t always show up as a stain. Sometimes it’s cooler drywall, a faint smell, or paint that bubbles weeks after the rain stopped. Thermal imaging shows us the temperature differences that indicate trapped water, and moisture meters confirm the reading. In Gladeview’s older homes, the leak is often nowhere near the damage you see.
Air Quality Testing and Lab Results
For homeowners who need to know what kind of mold they’re dealing with, we can collect air and surface samples and send them to a third-party lab. Results typically come back with spore counts and species identification. You get the actual report, not a summary someone typed up over the phone.
Trusted Brands We Service in Gladeview
We run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Phoenix air movers on nearly every Gladeview job, and for masonry drying we rely on Injectidry panels along with XPOWER and B-Air units. These aren’t rental-grade machines. They’re professional restoration tools built to pull moisture from materials that resist drying, which describes most of the concrete block in this neighborhood. Because we stock common replacement parts and filters locally, we’re not waiting on a parts delivery to finish your project. The equipment shows up with the tech, ready to run.

AfterCommon Mold Remediation Problems We See in Gladeview Homes
- Drying the drywall but not the block. The number one cause of repeat mold in Gladeview is a restoration crew that pulled wet drywall, dried the room air, and never addressed the moisture inside the concrete block. Within weeks, the new drywall is wet again.
- Ignoring the original flat roof drains. Many 1960s flat built-up roofs here still have their original drains, and they clog with ficus leaves after every storm. When we remediate mold without addressing the drain that caused the leak, we’re handing you a scheduled comeback.
- Old galvanized supply lines failing inside walls. These original pipes are past their service life, and pinhole leaks inside a block wall can run for months before anyone notices. By the time the drywall stains, mold has already taken hold in the cavity.
- Skipping containment in shared wall cavities. A 1960s Gladeview duplex often has an open wall cavity running between units. Without negative pressure containment, disturbing mold on one side sends spores into the neighbor’s bedroom.
Pricing for Mold Remediation in Gladeview, FL
For a single affected room in a Gladeview CBS home, including containment, removal, treatment, and structural drying, expect $1,800 – $3,500. A whole-home or multiple-room job typically lands between $4,000 and $6,500. Mold inspections run $350 – $600. What moves the number is how far moisture has traveled through the masonry, whether we need to remove original plaster or terrazzo-adjacent materials, and how much structural drying the block requires. Before any work starts, you get a written scope and price. The number on that page is the number you pay. Call (850) 909-7064 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Mold Remediation in Gladeview
Because the mold isn’t just on the wall’s surface; moisture is trapped inside the concrete block behind it. Cleaning visible mold removes what you can see, but the block still holds water from an old leak, roof drain, or failed pipe. Until that moisture is measured and dried properly with equipment like Injectidry panels and dehumidifiers, the mold spores that survive in the masonry just recolonize the new wall surface. If you’ve cleaned twice and it’s back twice, the water source was never addressed. Call (850) 909-7064 for a free estimate to find it.
In most Gladeview duplexes, if the drywall was wet for more than 48 hours or the leak involved contaminated water, the drywall needs to come out. Drywall that’s been saturated loses its structural integrity and becomes a food source for mold. In a shared CBS wall cavity, leaving it in place also means the neighbor’s side can be affected. The real question is what’s behind the drywall, and in a block home, that’s almost always wet masonry. We won’t tell you to replace drywall unnecessarily, but when the moisture meter says it’s saturated, removal is the correct answer.
We treat the mold inside and flag the roof drain problem at the same time, because they’re connected. In a Gladeview duplex off NW 37th Ave, our crew traced a persistent odor to a 1962 flat built-up roof where the original drains had clogged with ficus leaves, sending water down inside the CBS block wall. We contained the unit, ran moisture mapping with thermal imaging, removed the saturated drywall, treated the masonry, and structurally dried the block with Injectidry panels and air movers, then returned the unit to pre-loss condition. But we also documented the roof drain issue so the owner could fix it; otherwise, the same leak re-wets the same wall next storm season.
A mold inspection finds and documents the problem using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and sometimes air sampling; it doesn’t remove anything. Mold removal is the physical work of containment, demolition of affected materials, antimicrobial treatment, and structural drying. The inspection answers “what’s here and where,” and the removal answers “we got it out and kept it out.” In Gladeview’s older block homes, most homeowners need both: an inspection to find the full extent of the trapped moisture, then removal to address it properly.
No, terrazzo doesn’t need to be disturbed. Terrazzo is a non-porous cementitious surface, so mold doesn’t grow into it the way it does into drywall or wood. Our crews protect original terrazzo with floor protection during containment and equipment setup, and the drying and demolition work focuses on the walls and ceiling cavities where the moisture is actually trapped. In the NW 37th Ave duplex job mentioned above, we completed the entire remediation and drying process without touching the original terrazzo.
