Nokomis sits between Venice and Osprey on the mainland side of Dona Bay and Roberts Bay, with Casey Key across the water. It is unincorporated Sarasota County, and its housing runs from 1950s and 1960s cottages near the old Tamiami Trail to block ranches from the 1970s and 1980s on the inland streets, with newer homes along Laurel Road and in the communities near Interstate 75.
The older cottages are the moisture problem. Many were built with crawl spaces or on low slabs a foot or two above grade, close to the bays, and the ground under them stays damp year-round. Hurricane Ian in September 2022 brought roof damage and days without power, and Milton in October 2024 pushed surge into the low streets along the bays.
Nokomis homeowners who call us reach an independent mold provider who works south Sarasota County. The provider meters the walls and the floor before writing a scope.
Low-slab and crawl-space cottages near the water lead to mold removal at the base of the walls and mold odor removal when the smell has no visible source. Roof damage and tarps from Ian put attic mold remediation on the list for many homes here.
Nokomis is outside any city, so a rebuild after mold removal goes through the Sarasota County Building Division, which runs plan review, inspections, and contractor licensing for the unincorporated county. On the key side of the bridge, Nokomis Beach is the county's oldest public beach, with a 1950s plaza designed by Jack West of the Sarasota School of Architecture, and the salt air off it is why so many window frames on this side of the bay corrode and leak.
Call (941) 420-6510 now and tell us whether the house is on a slab or a crawl space and what you see. We put you through to a mold provider who works Nokomis.
Containment, negative air, and removal of wet drywall, trim, and insulation from a North Port block house, then cleaning and drying of what stays.
Dark growth handled under full containment and protective gear. Color does not name the species, and the steps do not change.
Room-by-room containment and removal after storm water, weeks without power, or a house closed up through a wet summer.
Air handler, coil, drain pan, and duct cleaning when the musty smell arrives every time the air conditioning cycles on.
Growth on ceilings, in grout, behind vanities, and inside wet drywall from steam and slow leaks, the most common first call.
Roof-deck and truss mold from lifted shingles, blocked soffits, and flex duct sweating in a hot North Port attic.
Tracing a musty smell to the wet material behind it, removing that material, and clearing the air instead of masking it.
Drywall, baseboard, insulation, and cabinet bottoms rebuilt after removal, with the water source fixed before anything closes up.
