Mold Removal in Tierra Verde, FL

Tierra Verde is an unincorporated island community at the south end of the county, built on dredge-and-fill land in the 1960s and reached by the Pinellas Bayway on the way to Fort De Soto. The housing is 1960s and 1970s single-story block houses on canals, newer two-story and elevated houses that replaced them, and condo and townhouse clusters near the marinas. Everything sits within sight of the water.

Helene's surge on September 26, 2024, came across the canals and into the older ground-level houses, and the Bayway was closed while the barrier islands were cleared. Houses built on the island's original grade took salt water into every exterior wall at once; the newer elevated houses took it in the garage and the storage below. Milton's wind followed on October 9.

Homeowners in Tierra Verde who call us reach an independent mold provider who works on the island. That provider reads the walls and does the removal.

Canal houses, elevated garages, and what Tierra Verde owners call about

A 1960s canal house that stood in bay water is whole-home mold remediation, with every exterior wall opened above the water line and the block cleaned of salt. An elevated house where only the ground-level garage and storage got wet is mold removal, cut to the reading and dried. A house rebuilt over the winter that smells again in the humidity is mold odor removal.

County permits and the park at the end of the Bayway

Tierra Verde is unincorporated, so building permits and inspections for a rebuild come from Pinellas County Building Services rather than from the City of St. Petersburg, and the provider who rebuilds pulls them. The Bayway ends at Fort De Soto Park, five connected islands with seven miles of waterfront and a Spanish-American War fort, which sit at roughly the same elevation as the Tierra Verde canals and show what the open Gulf does to this end of the county in a storm.
