Fides Restoration

Hoarding cleanup is one of the most complex jobs we do — and one of the most important to get right.

It's not a cleaning job. It's a remediation project with structural, biohazard, and often deeply human components that require a specialized approach and a team that treats the situation with genuine care.

What we typically encounter in hoarding situations:
• Structural damage hidden beneath accumulated material
• Mold and moisture damage from compromised airflow and ventilation
• Rodent or insect infestation within the material
• Biohazard conditions from animal waste, human waste, or decomposed food
• Items with real sentimental or monetary value that need to be identified before disposal

We work with families, property managers, and estate attorneys who need a licensed contractor to handle the full scope — not just haul-off.

Our approach is methodical, discreet, and professional. We document conditions before, during, and after for insurance and liability purposes. We move at a pace that respects the situation.

If you're managing a property or supporting a family member who needs this kind of help, we're a straightforward call.

The summer rain season has started. And in South Florida, those afternoon storms aren't just inconvenient — they're one of the most common causes of home water damage we see.

The issue isn't always a dramatic flood. More often, it's the slow intrusion:
• A roof vent that hasn't been properly sealed since the last re-roof
• Flashing around a chimney or skylight that's starting to separate
• A window with compromised caulking that's been letting in small amounts of water for months

The problem with slow leaks is that by the time you see a water stain on the ceiling, the damage is already substantial. Water has been wicking into the sheathing, insulation, and framing below. Mold often follows within days.

What makes it worse: many homeowners wait to see if the stain gets bigger before calling. That waiting period is exactly when secondary damage compounds.

If you've had roof work done recently, or if you noticed new staining after last week's storms, it's worth having it looked at. We do free moisture assessments and will tell you exactly what we're dealing with.

Summer in South Florida is prime season for mold — and most people don't realize it until the smell starts.

Here's why: June brings the highest average humidity of the year. When your AC runs constantly and outdoor air finds any way in — through a gap in weatherstripping, a leaking window seal, a poorly vented crawlspace — you create exactly the conditions mold needs: moisture, warmth, and a surface to grow on.

The most common call we get in summer isn't from a flood. It's from a homeowner who noticed a smell that wouldn't go away.

Where summer mold typically hides:
• Behind walls where condensation builds on cold AC ducts
• Under flooring near sliding glass doors with worn seals
• In attics with inadequate ventilation
• In bathrooms where exhaust fans don't fully clear moisture

Mold testing and a visual inspection can tell you definitively what you're dealing with. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging — not guesswork.

If something smells off in your home this summer, it's worth knowing for sure.
