FixMold Miami adds South Florida crews as hurricane season peaks

FixMold Miami is expanding inspection and remediation teams across South Florida as hurricane season drives more mold risk from flooding, leaks and humidity. The company says the move is meant to shorten response times while demand rises across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties.

Why it matters: - Hurricane season in Florida runs through the end of November, and the storms it brings can leave homes, businesses and boats exposed to mold within 24 to 48 hours. - Faster inspection and cleanup can limit damage after water intrusion from heavy rain, flooding, roof leaks or air-conditioning condensation. - FixMold Miami says the added capacity is designed to reduce wait times during the highest-risk months.

What happened: - FixMold Miami is expanding its residential, commercial and marine mold teams across Miami-Dade, Broward and Fort Lauderdale. - The company completed more than 7,000 mold assessments and more than 3,600 remediation projects across South Florida in the past year. - FixMold says project volume is on pace to double in 2026. - Moty Katz, FixMold Miami founder, said the company’s first visit is focused on identifying what is happening in a property and whether remediation is needed.

The details: - FixMold Miami is a state-licensed, IICRC-certified mold inspection, testing and remediation company backed by the Katz family’s 30-plus-year industry legacy. - The company uses infrared thermal imaging, laser particle counters and Wi-Fi-connected air monitors to find hidden moisture and airborne contamination. - FixMold uses a zero-VOC, biocide-free remediation product line. - Every inspection and post-remediation clearance test is verified by Hayes Microbial Consulting, an accredited third-party laboratory, rather than interpreted in-house. - FixMold offers FaceTime Mold Solutions, a complimentary virtual assessment that lets a state-certified technician review visible mold, water stains or musty odors before an in-person appointment is booked. - The virtual option became one of the company’s most-used entry points during the pandemic. - Coverage includes mold inspection and testing, remediation and removal, HVAC and air-duct restoration, indoor air quality testing, odor elimination and commercial sanitization. - The services cover homes, offices, hotels and marine vessels across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties. - FixMold’s in-house technicians, general contractors and HVAC staff allow projects to move from inspection through remediation and reconstruction without outside subcontractors. - The marine division uses the same inspection and lab-verification process for boats, yachts and commercial vessels.

Between the lines: - The company is leaning on independent lab verification as a trust signal in a market where mold work can blur the line between testing and remediation. - The in-house model suggests FixMold is trying to control scheduling, quality and turnaround time during peak demand. - The expansion also reflects a broader South Florida reality: recurring storms can turn mold response into a seasonal necessity rather than a discretionary service.

What’s next: - FixMold says it will keep adding inspection and remediation crews across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties through the rest of hurricane season. - The goal is to hold down response times through the months with the highest water-damage risk. - The company also plans to continue serving South Florida through its broader residential, commercial and marine service footprint.

The bottom line: - FixMold Miami is scaling up now because South Florida’s storm season can quickly turn moisture into mold, and speed matters most in the first days after water intrusion.
