Not sure where to start?
If you can see or smell mold and want one number to react to, run the cost estimator first, then the DIY-or-pro check. If a storm or burst pipe was involved, start with the insurance check — whether the damage was sudden or gradual usually decides coverage.

Common questions
- What free mold tools does MoldVerified offer?
- MoldVerified's free, no-sign-up tools help you size up a Florida mold problem before you call anyone: a cost estimator for a metro-adjusted price range, a DIY-or-pro triage check, a quote checker, an insurance-coverage check, a Florida mold-law check, a landlord and adjuster letter generator, and a license verifier that checks any contractor against the state DBPR registry.
- How do I verify a Florida mold contractor's license?
- Open the license verifier, enter the company name or license number, and it checks the live Florida DBPR registry for an active Mold Assessor (MRSA) or Mold Remediator (MRSR) license. Under Florida law (Chapter 468, Part XVI), mold assessment or remediation on a project affecting more than 10 square feet must be performed by a state-licensed professional.
- Can the same company test and remediate mold in Florida?
- No. Under §468.8419, the licensed assessor who inspects and writes the remediation protocol and the remediator who performs the work must be independent parties on the same project — the rule prevents a contractor from grading its own work. The Florida mold-law check explains how this applies to your situation.
- How much does mold remediation cost in Florida?
- A professional job typically runs about $1,100 to $4,200, with a statewide median near $2,300 — roughly $11 to $26 per square foot. Bathroom-scale jobs cost less; HVAC or whole-house contamination runs into five figures. Run the cost estimator for a metro-adjusted range.
- Does homeowners insurance cover mold in Florida?
- Often only when the mold results from a sudden, covered event — such as a burst pipe — rather than gradual leakage or long-term humidity, and many Florida policies cap how much mold remediation they pay for. The insurance check walks you through that sudden-vs-gradual test, and Florida law sets a deadline to file a claim under §627.70132.
