Jungle Prada is a west St. Petersburg neighborhood on Boca Ciega Bay, built around the 1920s Jungle development along Park Street and the Jungle Prada site, where a Tocobaga mound and a 1920s dance hall sit at the water. The houses are 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes on the older blocks, 1950s and 1960s block ranches on the rest, and waterfront homes along the bay and the canals.
The bayfront and canal streets took surge from Helene on September 26, 2024, and Milton's wind and rain followed on October 9. The 1920s houses took water into plaster and lath; the ranches took it into block and slab. Houses on the ridge along Park Street mostly stayed dry below and took it from the roof instead.
Call us from Jungle Prada and we put you through to an independent local mold provider who reads the house with a meter before writing a scope.
A 1920s house that took surge into plaster walls is mold removal handled wall by wall, with the lath and studs read behind the plaster. A canal ranch that flooded throughout is whole-home mold remediation, with the block cleaned of salt before it closes. A house rebuilt over the winter that smells again in the heat is mold odor removal.
The Jungle Prada site is one of the oldest continuously occupied spots on the peninsula, which is a reminder that people chose this shore for its access to the bay, not its elevation. A rebuild after removal runs through the city's building department, which applies the substantial damage rules to flooded houses, and the provider who rebuilds pulls the permit.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Drywall, baseboard, cabinet bottoms, and ceilings put back after removal, once the slab and framing read dry and the water source is repaired.
