Commercial mold remediation in Largo often involves mobile and manufactured home communities, apartment complexes and older commercial buildings. Creek flooding during Milton and aging construction both play a part. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local mold remediation company in Largo.
Largo's mix of buildings
Mobile and manufactured homes make up about 26 percent of Largo's housing units, nearly as many as detached single-family homes at around 30 percent. More than half the housing was built before 1980, with about a third from the 1970s alone, and roughly 38 percent of occupied homes are rented. During Hurricane Milton in 2024, McKay Creek overflowed and flooded homes, including along Crescent Drive, and residents near Church Creek reported similar flooding. After Milton, Pinellas County told residents of flooded homes to remove wet contents quickly to prevent mold.
What to do now
- Find and stop the water: roof seam, window, AC drain, plumbing or creek flooding.
- Figure out who owns the affected home or unit and who maintains what under the lease or park rules.
- Document the damage with dated photos before anything is removed.
- Keep residents with asthma or weakened immune systems away from the affected area, as EPA advises.
- For manufactured homes, have the inspection cover the underside: skirting, belly wrap and floor decking.
- Hire an assessor and a separate remediation company; Florida's 12-month rule keeps them apart on the same structure.
- Check which office covers the address before rebuilding: the City of Largo Building Division inside city limits, Pinellas County for unincorporated land with a Largo mailing address.

Cost factors
Angi reports Tampa-area residential remediation typically runs $1,347 to $3,778, with most pros charging $10 to $25 per square foot; commercial and multi-unit jobs are priced per project. The number of homes or units involved, whether flooring and subfloor must come out, containment level and after-hours work move the price. Separate assessor fees apply. Renters inside the city can report unfixed problems to the City of Largo Community Standards Division; unincorporated addresses go to Pinellas County Code Enforcement.
