Mold removal and water extraction in Kendall, 33176
Kendall's ranch homes, townhomes and garden condos sit on low inland ground near canals and lakes, so slow tropical rains and aging plumbing both leave water behind that turns into mold.
We travel southwest from Brickell to Kendall to pull water out of homes and remove the mold that follows. Many houses here were rebuilt or reroofed after Andrew, but their plumbing, drains and slabs can be much older than the roof.

Yes, we cover Kendall from the Dadeland area out toward the Turnpike. Typical calls are water extraction after storm flooding, leaks in 1960s to 1980s ranch homes, and mold in bathrooms, closets and walls. Call (786) 947-0034 day or night. We answer, ask what happened and where, and send a crew equipped for both water and mold.
Ranch houses, townhomes and garden condos
Kendall is a suburban mix of 1960s to 1980s single-family ranch homes, townhomes and garden condos around Dadeland and along Kendall Drive. Roughly 62 percent of homes are owner-occupied, so most of our calls come straight from the people who live there.
Hurricane Andrew severely damaged Kendall in August 1992, and many homes were rebuilt or reroofed afterward. That left a patchwork: newer roofs over older interiors, and additions joined to original block walls where water can slip through the seam.
Rain, canals and slow leaks under Kendall roofs
Low inland ground with canals and lakes floods during slow tropical rains. Irene in 1999 and the October 2000 No-Name Storm, which centered on southwest Miami-Dade with 17.50 inches at South Miami, both flooded the area.
Sudden storms do it too. On August 15 2019, four to eight inches fell fast over Kendall and Country Walk, and water entered structures near SW 114th Avenue and 128th Street. Indoors, the slower culprits are shower pans, water heaters and drain lines in houses that are now several decades old.
From extraction to mold removal in a Kendall home
We start by stopping the source and extracting standing water with portable or truck-mounted units, depending on access. Then we map the wet area with meters and thermal imaging and decide what can be dried in place and what has to come out.
Where mold has already grown, we set up containment, remove affected drywall or trim, clean the framing and dry it before any rebuilding. If you want air or surface samples, those are arranged through an independent assessor and lab, which keeps the assessment separate from our removal work.
Neighborhoods around Kendall we cover
Our Kendall crews also work in Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Kendale Lakes, Sunset and Glenvar Heights. Much of this stretch of southwest Miami-Dade shares similar housing, so the same water and mold patterns come up again and again.
Call (786) 947-0034 and mention the nearest main road, such as Kendall Drive or the Snapper Creek Expressway, so we can route the crew.
Where water and mold start in Kendall
Post-Andrew rebuilds
Many homes were rebuilt or reroofed after 1992, so newer roofs often sit over older plumbing, drains and ceilings.
Canals and low ground
Inland canals and lakes leave water few places to go when slow tropical rain settles over the area for days.
Fast summer cloudbursts
Four to eight inches in a short burst in August 2019 put water into structures near SW 114th Avenue and 128th Street.
Bathroom and closet mold
Decades-old shower pans and closets on damp exterior walls are frequent places where we find hidden growth.

See the serviceKendall: questions we hear
How do I know if mold in my Kendall home is more than a cleaning job?
The EPA says most people can clean an area under about 10 square feet themselves. Larger patches, mold that keeps coming back, or growth tied to a leak or flood call for containment and removal, plus fixing the moisture behind it.
Do you test for mold as well as remove it in Kendall?
We inspect with meters and thermal imaging to find mold and its moisture source. Lab sampling and clearance testing are arranged through an independent assessor, so the testing stays separate from the remediation, as Florida rules expect.
What should I do while I wait for water extraction in Kendall?
Stop the water if you can, switch off power to wet rooms, and lift small valuables and rugs off wet floors. Avoid running household fans over sewage or flood water. Photos of every room before cleanup will help your claim.
My Kendall house was reroofed after Andrew. Can it still have roof leak damage?
Yes. Flashing, vents and roof penetrations can still fail, and a newer roof does not protect the older ceilings and attic framing below from a fresh leak. We trace the water path and dry or remove what got wet.
