Florida law requires an independent assessment and a written remediation protocol from a licensed mold assessor before remediation can begin.
Everest identifies what is present, documents the full scope, and issues the protocol that gets remediation started right. Whether it's visible mold, a musty odor, or a recent water event — we can be on-site within 48 hours.

Mold can spread behind walls in as little as 24–48 hours. The longer you wait, the more expensive and invasive remediation becomes.
Remediation can't legally begin in Florida without a licensed assessment first. Here's what happens next.
We inspect the property, identify moisture sources and intrusion pathways, and document the full scope of what is affected. This is not a surface check. We evaluate the conditions that caused the problem so the remediation targets the right areas from the start.
Once we confirm what is present, we issue a forensic-grade remediation protocol signed by a licensed mold assessor. The protocol defines containment and quarantine procedures, air control measures, removal methods, and the standards the remediation contractor must follow.
We work with vetted remediation partners in Tampa to make sure the protocol is followed correctly. When the work is complete, we return for post-remediation clearance testing to verify the property meets the required standard.
The Everest Team did a very thorough evaluation of water intrusion in my new home after hurricane. Very professional and detailed in work and report. Cost was covered by my insurance and also helped me in the process of insurance review, mold remediation and repairs. Without this report much would have been missed.

From the scheduling process to the thoroughness of their reports and the support they provide after testing, they are truly at the top of their field.

Mold problems in Tampa often start with moisture you can't see. Whether it's a known issue or something that just feels off, these are the situations we handle most often.
Moisture buildup in air handlers and ductwork is a common source of hidden mold in Tampa homes. An assessment confirms what's happening and where.
Water intrusion can reach inside walls before it's visible. An assessment defines the scope early and ensures a proper plan is in place before it spreads.
Clogged drain lines can push moisture into walls and ceilings, often leading to hidden mold. We identify the source and document the full impact.
Slow leaks behind walls or under sinks often go unnoticed until damage appears. An assessment confirms if mold is present and how far it has spread.
If mold is visible or a musty smell won't go away, the next step is confirming the extent and source. We document conditions and create a clear plan to address it.
Clear, defensible mold documentation is often needed before closing. We provide licensed assessments and testing to support both sides of the transaction.
In Florida, the licensed mold assessor who writes the remediation protocol cannot also perform the remediation. This separation ensures the assessment is independent and the scope is accurate.
Everest handles the entire assessment side — inspecting the property, identifying moisture sources, and documenting the full scope. We then issue a forensic-grade remediation protocol that defines containment procedures, air control measures, removal methods, and the standards the work must meet.
