FixMold launches permanent sanitization division in South Florida

FixMold has turned its pandemic decontamination work into a permanent sanitization and disinfection division serving homes, businesses and vessels across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The move expands the company’s mold-remediation model into recurring cleaning and disinfection programs for occupied and time-sensitive properties.

Why it matters: - FixMold is formalizing a service that targets contamination control, indoor air quality and turnover speed for South Florida properties. - The division gives homeowners, landlords, offices, hospitality operators and marine clients a recurring option for sanitization and disinfection. - The service is designed to support documented cleaning for HR policies, insurers and property records.

What happened: - FixMold established a permanent sanitization and disinfection division after using biological decontamination protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. - The division serves residential, commercial and marine clients from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale. - The company said the service grew out of methods it had already used in mold remediation for three decades.

The details: - FixMold maps each property, identifies higher-risk areas such as entry points, shared equipment, high-touch surfaces and HVAC returns, and treats them in sequence. - The company uses EPA-registered products and follows the dwell time listed on the label. - FixMold separates cleaning from disinfection. Cleaning removes dirt and organic residue. Disinfection then inactivates remaining pathogens. - The company says skipping either step or shortening dwell time reduces effectiveness. - Recurring programs are available for oceanfront condos, short-term rentals and mainland offices. - Each visit is documented for HR policies and insurers. - For offices, the cleaning focus is on shared surfaces, not just visible areas. - For hospitality businesses in Miami Beach, the company structures work around shorter turnarounds between guests. - FixMold develops and manufactures the FixMold CO₂ Carbonix Dry Ice Cold Fusion system and its CO₂ Deep Freeze chamber. - The division also uses hydroxyl generators, UV-C sterilization, electrostatic application, ULV thermal fogging, HEPA filtration and real-time particle counting. - The same equipment supports commercial odor removal and indoor air-quality restoration. - FixMold’s mold services start with licensed mold inspection supported by accredited laboratory analysis. - Services include mold inspection in Broward County, mold evaluation in Fort Lauderdale, mold detection in Miami Beach and mold abatement for older inland properties. - Engagements are documented and carry a twelve-month warranty. - Members of the Katz family are founders of the Florida Association of Mold Professionals. - The company holds a BBB A+ rating and employs licensed professionals.

Between the lines: - The new division extends FixMold’s core mold-remediation workflow into a broader environmental restoration business. - The emphasis on documentation suggests the company is positioning sanitization as a repeatable compliance service, not just an emergency response. - The marine offering reflects a regional niche in South Florida, where humidity, salt air and sealed cabins create persistent moisture issues.

What's next: - FixMold is likely to keep offering sanitization as a standing service line alongside mold inspection, testing, remediation and marine restoration. - The company expects recurring use from property managers, hospitality operators and vessel owners who need scheduled treatment. - Abe Katz said the pandemic permanently changed customer expectations for cleaning, and the company’s protocols carried over into the new division.
