Mold in your basement isn’t just a minor issue. It can damage your home, affect indoor air quality, and trigger health problems. At First Coast Contracting, we provide professional basement mold removal services for homeowners in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and surrounding communities. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our team knows how to eliminate mold at the source and prevent it from coming back.
Basements tend to be more humid and poorly ventilated than other areas of a home, making them the perfect environment for mold growth. Add a leak, past flooding, or poor drainage outside the home, and conditions become ideal for mold to spread.
In areas like Jacksonville and St. Augustine, the humid climate adds another layer of risk. Mold thrives in moisture-rich spaces, and many homes in these coastal areas experience issues that go unnoticed until the mold is well established.
If you notice a musty smell, discolored patches on your basement walls, or worsening allergy symptoms when you’re in the lower part of your home, these are signs that you might need professional mold removal.
Mold removal isn’t just about cleaning what you can see. It requires a strategic and detailed approach to identify the source of moisture, eliminate the mold, and keep it from returning. Here’s what you can expect when you work with First Coast Contracting:
Our team starts with a thorough inspection of your basement. We look for visible signs of mold, hidden moisture, and potential structural damage. Using specialized tools, we measure humidity levels and detect mold growth behind walls or under flooring.
To prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of your home, we isolate the affected area. This step is crucial, especially in homes with HVAC systems that could circulate airborne spores.
We use high-efficiency air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums to clean the air while we work. This helps remove airborne spores and ensures a safer environment during the mold removal process.
Our technicians use professional-grade cleaning agents and techniques to remove mold from all affected surfaces. This includes walls, floors, insulation, framing, and any other materials that show contamination. If structural materials are damaged beyond repair, we safely remove and replace them.
To keep mold from returning, it’s critical to eliminate excess moisture. We thoroughly dry the basement and may recommend installing a dehumidifier or improving ventilation to keep humidity levels in check going forward.
If mold removal requires removing drywall, insulation, or flooring, our team can handle the repairs. We’re not just a mold removal company—we’re a licensed contractor, which means we can restore your basement to a clean, safe, and finished state.
We understand that mold problems are stressful. That’s why we approach every job with care, respect for your home, and attention to detail. Here’s what sets us apart:
Our team is trained in industry standards for mold remediation and follows protocols designed to protect your health and your home. We hold the licenses and certifications required for mold remediation work in Florida.
Unlike companies that only offer mold removal, we provide complete restoration services. That means you won’t have to coordinate with multiple contractors. We handle inspection, removal, drying, repairs, and finishing.
Dealing with mold can often involve insurance claims. With years of experience working with adjusters and property owners, we can help guide you through the process, provide documentation, and assist with claim-related questions.
Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and the surrounding areas like Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and Middleburg all face similar climate challenges. We know how to spot the early signs of water intrusion and mold growth common to homes in Northeast Florida. Our local knowledge helps us catch what others may miss.
From the first call to the final inspection, we keep you informed. We provide clear timelines, updates on progress, and a direct point of contact throughout the job.
One of the most important parts of mold removal is stopping it from happening again. Knowing where mold starts can help protect your home in the future. Here are a few common sources:
If your home in St. Augustine or Jacksonville has experienced any of these problems, it’s a good idea to schedule a mold inspection, especially if the basement has a history of dampness.
Living with mold in your basement isn’t just a structural issue. It can affect your well-being. Mold exposure may trigger allergic reactions, worsen asthma, or cause respiratory problems. Children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable.
The longer mold remains in your home, the more it spreads. That’s why timely action is important. If you’ve noticed symptoms like coughing, sneezing, headaches, or sinus irritation that seem worse when you’re at home, mold could be the cause.
We proudly offer basement mold removal services to homeowners throughout Northeast Florida. Our primary service areas include:
Whether you live near the beach in St. Augustine or further inland in Middleburg, our team is ready to help restore your basement and protect your home.
Signs include a persistent musty smell, visible discoloration on walls or floors, and increased allergy symptoms. A professional inspection can confirm the presence of mold.
Small patches may be cleaned with household products, but mold behind walls or spread over large areas requires professional removal to ensure it doesn’t return or spread further.
Most projects take a few days, depending on the extent of the damage. We provide a detailed timeline during the inspection phase.
Coverage varies by policy. If the mold resulted from a covered event like a burst pipe, insurance may help with costs. We can assist with documentation and work with your adjuster.
Keep humidity levels below 60%, fix leaks promptly, ensure good drainage around your home, and consider installing a dehumidifier. Regular inspections can also catch problems early.
If you suspect mold in your basement, don’t wait. Call First Coast Contracting for a professional assessment. We’ll explain the situation clearly, provide a plan of action, and work with you every step of the way. Protect your property, your health, and your peace of mind with help from a trusted local team.
