Mold Removal in Fort Meade, FL

Fort Meade is the oldest town in Polk County, settled around an 1849 army post on the Peace River, and it still has a core of 1880s through 1920s frame houses along the brick streets near the river. The rest is small block ranches from the phosphate decades, and the mines south of town are still working.

The river is the detail. Fort Meade sits at the head of the Peace River canoe trail, and the river runs high for weeks after a storm season like 2022 and nearly dry in a drought spring like 2026. Crawl spaces under the old houses breathe river-bottom air in wet years, and block slabs on the flat land wick what the yard holds.

A Fort Meade call on this line goes to an independent local mold provider who covers the south county. That provider meters the house and writes the scope.

Fort Meade's block ranches, built for the mine and plant workers from the 1950s through the 1970s, have the closet air handler and the no-window hall bath that every Florida ranch of that era has, and the condensate lines empty into yards that stay wet. The frame houses by the river have plaster, tall ceilings, and porches that were enclosed into bathrooms and bedrooms long ago.

The river that starts the paddling trail

The Peace River Canoe Trail begins at Fort Meade and runs 67 miles south to State Road 70 near Arcadia; the water district that manages it also holds back Lake Hancock upstream when the river threatens to flood.
