The Problem
Why Mold Is a Major Liability for Treasure Coast Businesses
A mold problem in a commercial building is a closed-door problem. Lost revenue. Tenant complaints. Insurance exposure. Health code risk. The first 48 hours determine whether you have a contained incident or an expensive shutdown — and Florida’s humidity, hurricane exposure, and oversized HVAC systems make commercial mold risk a year-round concern.
- Larger HVAC systems with more ductwork and more humidity-control failure points
- Higher occupancy — more tenants, employees, and customers exposed
- Compliance pressure from health departments, insurers, lenders, and leases
- Storm exposure — flat roofs and parapet walls common in commercial construction
- Vacancy risk — unconditioned buildings between tenants are prime mold environments

The Sharkey Air Process
Our Commercial Mold Remediation Process
A predictable, fully documented process from first call to clearance — designed to keep your tenants, customers, and staff informed and your building operational.
Rapid Response Assessment
A licensed Sharkey Air technician is on-site fast — usually same-day. We document conditions, identify visible and suspected mold, measure moisture, and identify the source. You get a clear scope, timeline, and budget before anything starts.
Strategic Containment Planning
We work with you to minimize disruption — phased work, after-hours scheduling, isolating affected zones from operational areas, coordinating with tenants. We don’t treat a 30,000 sq ft office building like a bathroom remodel.
Engineering Controls & Removal
Negative air pressure, 6-mil poly containment, HEPA filtration, and proper PPE on every job. Affected porous materials are removed to IICRC S520 standards. Salvageable surfaces are cleaned and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
HVAC System Inspection & Correction
Where we separate from generic restoration contractors. We inspect rooftop units, air handlers, return chases, and ductwork; clean what needs cleaning; and recommend humidity control improvements so the mold doesn’t come back.
Post-Remediation Verification & Reporting
Clearance testing, full project documentation with photos, moisture readings, and air quality data — delivered as a complete report you can hand to your insurance carrier, attorney, or compliance officer.
