Mold Removal in Lakeland Highlands, FL
Lakeland Highlands is the unincorporated south side of Lakeland around Scott Lake and Lake Highlands, built out from the 1970s through the 2000s in block ranches and two-story stucco houses on sandy ridges that run down to the lakes. It sits on karst, and the ground shows it: on June 15, 2006, a sinkhole drained Scott Lake over ten days, and new holes opened along Scott Lake Road in June and September 2023.
Houses on karst have their own water problem. Settling cracks in stucco and at window corners let rain into the wall, and the low spots between ridges hold water for days after a storm. Inside, the usual Florida closet air handler and nine-month cooling season do the rest.
A Lakeland Highlands call on this line reaches an independent local mold provider who covers the south county. That provider meters the house and tells you what has to come out.
Lakeland Highlands mold removal, on the sand ridges above Scott Lake
A stain at a cracked window corner in a stucco house is mold removal. A dark patch under a closet air handler is black mold removal. A film through the whole house after a week without power is whole-home mold remediation.
County permits and the preserve on Lake Hancock
Lakeland Highlands is outside the city, so rebuild permits go to the county rather than Lakeland. East of the neighborhood, Circle B Bar Reserve covers 1,267 acres of former cattle ranch on the northwest shore of Lake Hancock, the lake that water managers held high after Ian to spare the Peace River downstream.
Call (863) 375-7712 and tell us what you see. An independent mold provider serving Lakeland Highlands takes the call.
Services Available in Lakeland Highlands
Mold Removal
Growth on drywall behind a leaking supply line, a window that took wind-driven rain, or a wet slab edge: room sealed, wet board cut to the meter line, framing cleaned and dried.

A dark patch on a wall or ceiling handled by how far the water went, not its color: containment, porous material out, block and framing cleaned, leak fixed before closing.

Bathroom Mold Removal
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a bungalow bathroom ceiling with no fan, removed with the leak or the venting fixed first.

Growth on roof decking under lifted shingles or around a sweating duct, cleaned and treated once the roof and the insulation are dealt with.
Mold Odor Removal
A musty smell in a house that looks fine, traced to the wet material under the floor or behind the cabinet, then removed and treated.
Mold Damage Repair
