Weston Hills, Savanna, The Ridges, and Emerald Estates are Arvida-era neighborhoods from the 1990s and 2000s, each run by a homeowners association with rules about roofs, paint, and exterior work. Bonaventure, on the east side, is older, with buildings from the 1970s and 1980s that were annexed into the city later. Weston itself only became a city in 1996.
On October 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma's eyewall passed right over Weston. Roofs lost tiles, trees came down, and streets flooded. Some homes wore temporary patches for months, and a roof that was closed in a hurry can hide an attic that stayed damp.
When a Weston homeowner calls us, the call goes to an independent mold provider who serves the city. The provider reads the house with a moisture meter and explains the options.
In a two-story house with the air handler upstairs, a clogged condensate line drips into the ceiling below, so HVAC mold cleaning and a look at the drain pan are common first steps. Attics with roof damage that was patched but not dried lead to attic mold remediation. In Bonaventure's older condo and townhome buildings, growth that may come from a shared wall or a unit above gets photographed and read for moisture during the mold removal, which is what the association asks for when deciding who is responsible.
Weston buys its water from the City of Sunrise, so water accounts and billing go through Sunrise Utilities rather than Weston City Hall. The city's water and sewer page explains the split.
Permits for rebuilding after remediation are filed through Weston's ePermit Portal, run by Permitting Services. Because HOA approval is often needed for the same roof or exterior work, homeowners usually submit to both at once.
Call (954) 519-7189 and describe the wall, the smell, and what got wet. We route Weston calls to an independent local mold provider.
Containment, negative air, HEPA filtration, and removal of affected drywall, trim, and insulation, then cleaning and drying.
Heavier dark growth handled with full containment and protective gear. Color does not identify the species, and the process does not change.
Full containment, negative air, and room-by-room removal after a flood, a long roof leak, or a house that sat closed through a wet summer.
Air handler, coil, and duct cleaning when the smell shows up every time the air conditioning runs.
Roof-deck and truss mold from roof leaks, blocked soffits, or ducts sweating in a hot attic.
Mold in drywall, ceilings, grout, and behind vanities from steam and slow leaks, the most common first call.
Finding and removing the source of a musty smell that survived cleaning, then treating the air and surfaces so it does not come back.
Drywall, baseboard, insulation, and cabinet bottoms put back after removal, with the moisture source fixed before anything is closed up.
