Mold Removal in Dixieland, FL

Dixieland was platted in 1907 south of downtown Lakeland, and its streets between South Florida Avenue and Lake Hunter hold Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revival cottages, and a scattering of Mediterranean Revival houses in wood siding, stucco, and brick. The district went on the National Register in 1994, and most of the houses are a century old.

A century-old frame house in Lakeland has plaster on wood lath, a crawl space, wood floors, and at least one bathroom that was added into a porch with a window and no fan. Water that gets into the plaster stays, and the crawl space feeds humid air up through every gap in the floor.

A Dixieland call on this line reaches an independent local mold provider who works in the historic districts. That provider meters the plaster and the joists and tells you what has to come out.

Dixieland's houses have also been renovated more than most. Kitchens were pushed out, porches enclosed, and bathrooms added in the 1940s and 1950s, and every one of those joints between old framing and new is a place where a roof valley or a wall seam leaks a little in a sideways rain and the plaster behind it stays wet.

Dixieland mold removal, in the bungalows south of downtown

Soft plaster above a porch-addition shower is bathroom mold removal. A smell that rises through the floorboards after a wet month is mold odor removal. Lath cleaned and a plaster skim that matches the old walls is mold damage repair.

The art museum a few blocks north

The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, formerly the Polk Museum of Art, sits a short walk north of the district on the edge of downtown, run by Florida Southern College.
