MRSR is the Florida state mold remediation license — required to do the actual removal on any job larger than about 10 square feet. MRSA is the separate assessor (testing) license. State law keeps the two roles independent so the company that finds the mold isn't the one that profits from removing it.

Fort Myers and Lee County took the most direct modern hurricane hits in the state — Ian's 2022 surge left a multi-year tail of hidden, slow-surfacing mold behind drywall and under flooring that crews are still finding. Layered on top is everyday Southwest Florida humidity, a boom of newer construction drying out unevenly, and a large seasonal-resident population leaving homes closed and humid for months.
That combination makes independent assessment especially valuable here: storm-damaged homes hide moisture in places a quick walk-through misses, and the assessor-remediator firewall protects you from a single firm both "finding" and "fixing" surge mold. Verify every license below against the registry.
Independent inspection & testing
A licensed assessor maps how far the mold has spread and takes air or surface samples. In Florida this assessor legally can't be the company that does the removal, so the findings have no upsell behind them.
Containment
The work area is sealed off with plastic sheeting and put under negative air pressure, so spores disturbed during removal can't drift into the rest of the home.
Removal of contaminated porous material
Drywall, insulation, carpet, and other porous materials the mold has grown into are cut out and bagged. Hard, non-porous surfaces are cleaned in place; porous ones can't be reliably saved.
Drying & HEPA air scrubbing
HEPA-filtered scrubbers and dehumidifiers run until the area is dry and the air is clear. This step, plus fixing the original moisture source, is what keeps the mold from returning.
Independent clearance test
A party other than the remediator re-tests the air and surfaces to confirm the levels are back to normal. A passing clearance report is your proof the job actually worked — and the document a buyer or lender will ask for.
Most homeowners stay put. A licensed crew seals off the work area, so the rest of the house stays usable while the job runs.
Plan to leave only if one of these is true:
Re-entry is typically 24–48 hours after a passing independent clearance test. Ask your remediator for their containment plan and expected timeline up front — a clear answer is a good sign.
$1,075–$4,125 covers the typical Fort Myers job; $2,250 is the local median. Be suspicious at both extremes — a four-figure quote for a small bathroom patch and a suspiciously cheap whole-house number are both red flags. A $250–$675 independent assessment gives you a number nobody profits from inflating.
Sometimes — the cause decides it. A pipe that burst yesterday: usually covered. A leak that seeped for months: usually not, and many Florida policies cap mold payouts at $10K regardless. If you're filing, get the documentation right before remediation starts (we publish the exact checklist), and use a licensed firm — unlicensed work can void the claim.
For any job over about a 3×3-ft patch, Florida law says yes. Look for an MRSR license (remediation) or MRSA (assessment) — and know that the same company can't legally do both on your property within 12 months. That separation is your protection against inflated findings; it's also how this directory is organized.
Small and on a hard surface? Usually DIY-able — the EPA's own guidance draws the line near 10 square feet. What changes the answer: porous materials (drywall, insulation), sewage or long-standing water behind it, HVAC involvement, or anyone in the house with asthma or immune issues. Take the 60-second quiz before paying anyone.
