When mold shows up in a commercial property, time is everything. The longer it lingers, the more it spreads - and the more disruptive (and expensive) it becomes. That was the situation facing a client on Northwest 40th Street Road in Doral, FL, when they reached out to FDP Mold Remediation of Miami. What started as a few problem areas quickly revealed deeper issues that required swift, professional attention.
This wasn't a light surface cleaning. It was a full-scale mold remediation effort covering 3,000 square feet of commercial space. The property needed to be treated, tested, and brought back to a safe, healthy state - with minimal disruption and maximum precision. Over the course of five tightly coordinated service trips between December 13 and December 19, our team did just that.
The site was a mid-sized commercial facility - 3,000 square feet of open space, ceiling tile infrastructure, and interior drywall. At the time of inspection, there were already visible signs of mold damage on building materials, and the property had likely experienced prolonged moisture exposure.
Because this was a commercial setting, the stakes were even higher. Mold in a workplace doesn't just affect structure - it affects health, productivity, and liability. Immediate action was essential, and the client made the right call by involving certified mold professionals from the start.
On day one, a certified mold specialist from FDP Mold Remediation of Miami conducted a full visual inspection of the commercial property. Using both experience and specialized tools, our team identified visible mold growth as well as potential airborne spore concerns. Indoor air quality was tested to measure spore levels and determine how far contamination had spread.
The findings confirmed that active mold was present in multiple locations, including ceiling tiles and behind drywall. Airborne mold spores also exceeded safe thresholds, confirming the need for aggressive remediation - including material removal, cleaning, treatment, and drying.
Based on the results, we presented the client with a detailed remediation plan tailored to the property's layout and condition.
The project was completed over five scheduled service trips. Our process followed industry standards, EPA guidance, and Florida health code recommendations.
Before any removal began, our technicians established containment zones to prevent mold from migrating into clean areas. Technicians entered the site equipped with full PPE, including respirators, gloves, and disposable suits - essential protection not just for safety, but to preserve clean protocols throughout the job.
The remediation began with removal of all affected materials, including:
These materials were carefully extracted, bagged, and sealed for proper disposal. Every step was done under containment, ensuring no spores were released into clean air during removal. All compromised materials were safely taken out of the building.
Once the demolition phase was complete, our team performed a two-stage cleaning process:
We followed this with a complete antimicrobial fogging treatment, covering the entire 3,000-square-foot property. This step saturates the air and hard-to-reach areas, helping eliminate airborne spores and providing long-lasting resistance to regrowth.
Mold thrives on moisture, so dehumidification was a critical part of this project. We deployed:
The scrubbers filtered out airborne contaminants while the dehumidifiers extracted moisture from the air and structural surfaces. This helped ensure the environment was inhospitable to future mold growth.
Following treatment, we conducted a free mold clearance test - a value-added service we provide to ensure the job meets safety standards. Air samples showed that indoor air quality in the business space had returned to safe, acceptable levels.
A final walkthrough was performed by our certified mold specialist. We verified that all contaminated materials had been removed, treatment had been properly applied, and that moisture levels were within a safe range. At that point, equipment was removed and the property was handed back to the client in clean, safe condition.
Midway through the project, the client expressed interest in moving forward with some structural repairs. These repairs were outside the scope of our mold remediation services but were being handled by a separate company referred by our specialist.
To ensure total transparency, we clarified that our team was not responsible for coordinating or managing those repairs. Keeping professional boundaries clear is part of what builds trust - and it's why clients know they can count on FDP Mold Remediation of Miami to do exactly what we say we'll do.
By the end of December 19, the property had been fully treated, tested, and dried. The visible mold was gone. Airborne spores had been neutralized. Moisture levels were under control. And most importantly, the client could move forward knowing their space was safe, clean, and ready to re-occupy.
Jobs like this aren't just about removing mold - they're about restoring peace of mind. With commercial properties, that means minimizing downtime while maximizing the effectiveness of every treatment. And thanks to our experienced team and detailed remediation plan, that's exactly what we delivered.
