Mold Removal in Historic Kenwood, FL
Historic Kenwood sits just west of downtown St. Petersburg, between Central Avenue and 9th Avenue North, and holds a dense run of 1920s and 1930s bungalows, block after block. The houses are frame and masonry Craftsman bungalows with deep porches, plaster walls, wood floors over a crawl space, and small original bathrooms built around a window instead of a fan.
Kenwood sits higher than the bayfront neighborhoods, so Helene's surge did not reach it. Milton's rain and wind on October 9, 2024, did, and bungalow roofs with layered shingles over old decking leaked into attics and plaster ceilings. The rest of the year, the problem is the crawl space, which stays damp from May to October and feeds a smell up through the floor.
Call us from Kenwood and we put you through to an independent local mold provider who reads the house with a meter before writing a scope.
Bungalow baths, bungalow attics, and the Kenwood calls
A plaster bathroom ceiling that speckles again after every repaint is bathroom mold removal, with the plaster read wall by wall and the venting fixed first. Dark staining on old roof decking after Milton is attic mold remediation, and the roofer goes first. A house that smells musty with nothing visible is mold odor removal, and the search starts under the floor.
Historic district review in Kenwood
Kenwood is a local historic district, so a rebuild that touches the exterior of a contributing bungalow gets a design review on top of the ordinary city permit, which the provider who rebuilds pulls. The Historic Kenwood Neighborhood Association is the first stop for what that review covers and which houses it applies to.

Services Available in Historic Kenwood
Mold Removal
Growth on drywall after surge water, a supply-line leak, or a window that took sideways rain: room sealed, wet board cut at the meter line, framing cleaned and dried.
Black Mold Removal
A dark patch on a bedroom wall or closet ceiling handled by how far the water traveled, not by its color: containment, porous material out, leak fixed before closing.
Whole-Home Mold Remediation
A house that took Helene surge or sat shut for a season, mapped room by room, with every wet wall, cabinet, and floor handled as one project under one scope.
HVAC Mold Cleaning
Coil, drain pan, blower, and condensate line cleaned or replaced when the air handler in a St. Pete closet or garage sweats through a nine-month cooling season.
Bathroom Mold Removal
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a plaster ceiling with no fan in a 1920s bungalow bath, removed with the leak or the venting fixed first.
Attic Mold Remediation
Growth on roof decking under shingles Milton lifted, or around a sweating duct in a block ranch attic, cleaned once the roof and insulation are dealt with.
Mold Odor Removal
A musty smell in a house that looks fine, traced to the wet material under a floor, behind a cabinet, or inside a block wall, then removed and treated.
Mold Damage Repair
Drywall, baseboard, cabinet bottoms, and ceilings put back after removal, once the slab and framing read dry and the water source is repaired.
