Brooksville is the Hernando County seat, a town since 1856 and a city since 1880, and the only hilly place in this market. Downtown sits at about 128 feet, and the ridges around it run to 180 feet, with Chinsegut Hill at 269. The old neighborhoods have frame houses from the 1880s through the 1930s on brick piers, with crawl spaces underneath, alongside 1950s block cottages and 1980s ranches on slabs.
Nothing here floods from the Gulf. The mold in Brooksville comes from the crawl spaces, where the bare ground under a hundred-year-old house stays damp through the summer and the floor joists and subfloor grow from below, and from old roofs over old attics. The May-Stringer House and the other historic homes on the hill have been fighting that for a century.
Homeowners in Brooksville reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. The provider reads the house and explains what it needs. The site sets up the call.
A musty smell in a frame house with nothing visible upstairs is mold odor removal, and the crew starts in the crawl space. Growth on the underside of the roof decking in a 1920s attic is attic mold remediation, with the venting fixed afterward. A bathroom that was added to an old house in the 1960s and never vented is bathroom mold removal.
The Hernando Historical Museum Association keeps the May-Stringer House, the 1885 depot, and a one-room schoolhouse, and its volunteers know more about crawl-space moisture than most contractors. Inside the city limits, the City of Brooksville Building Division on Howell Avenue issues the permits for any rebuild, separate from the county.
