About this company
Spora Mold Remediation in New Port Richey is the Pasco County branch of SPORA LLC, a family-owned Florida company headquartered in South Pasadena. They hold Florida mold remediation licenses MRSA5106 and MRSR5152 and handle mold testing, mold removal, and water damage restoration for homes and businesses across Pasco, Hernando, Hillsborough, Citrus, and Sumter counties. They previously operated under the name Water and Mold Remediation.
Their remediation process includes containment, HEPA filtration with air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatments, and dry fogging for HVAC systems. Dry fogging is worth noting because most local competitors do not offer it. They atomize an EPA-registered antimicrobial solution into a fine vapor that reaches ductwork and wall cavities without leaving moisture behind. They also use thermal imaging and moisture meters during inspections and send samples to third-party labs for species identification.
The company runs three Florida locations (South Pasadena, New Port Richey, Port St. Lucie) and offers free initial mold inspections. Several reviewers mentioned getting same-day or next-day visits, and the company responded to hurricane damage from Helene and Milton in late 2024. One reviewer had an entire kitchen rebuilt after flooding.
A 5.0 rating across 71 Google reviews is rare for a mold remediation company. The volume is modest but the consistency is striking, with only a single one-star review in the last 18 months.

Review consensus
Ryan is the most frequently named person across reviews, appearing in roughly half of all feedback. Reviewers describe him as honest, responsive (often replying to texts within minutes), and willing to explain findings in plain language. Several noted he saved them money by identifying issues that did not actually require remediation. Webster appears in more recent reviews as a knowledgeable inspector who treats customers with respect. David was praised for tracing a mold source to an air conditioner and coordinating same-day HVAC repair. Diane (office staff) was credited by one reviewer with scheduling service immediately after Hurricane Helene when other companies would not answer the phone. Reviewers frequently mention next-day or same-day visits, free inspections, fair pricing, and clear communication. Several noted the company helped with insurance documentation.
1 found across 71 total reviews at 5.0★. One reviewer (Talitha Armstrong, March 2025) reported that inspector Webster never provided a written estimate after a visit, and that office staff member Diana was dismissive and condescending on the phone. The customer ultimately hired a different company. The owner responded with a general apology but did not address the specific claims about the missing estimate or staff behavior.
The company appears to be in a growth phase, expanding from its South Pasadena headquarters into New Port Richey and Port St. Lucie. Reviews from early 2024 and before almost exclusively mention Ryan, while late 2024 and 2025 reviews introduce Webster, David, Matt, and Seena. This suggests a growing team. The single negative review involves Webster and Diana rather than Ryan, which could signal that newer staff have not yet matched the service standard Ryan set. Worth watching as the company scales. The owner responded to the one negative review but with a generic message rather than addressing specifics.
Ryan (owner/inspector/remediation lead — overwhelmingly positive, praised for honesty, speed, and knowledge). Webster (inspector — mostly positive for thoroughness and knowledge, named in the only negative review for not following up with an estimate). David (inspector — positive, traced mold to AC unit and coordinated same-day HVAC fix). Diana/Diane (office staff — mixed, praised by one reviewer for scheduling during hurricane chaos, criticized by another for being dismissive). Matt (staff — positive, returned a customer email with a personal call on his weekend). Seena (technician — positive, mentioned alongside Webster for wall testing). Jeff (HVAC partner, not staff — positive, came same day for AC repair).
Ask for Ryan if you want the most consistent experience reviewers describe. If Webster handles your inspection, request a specific timeline for your written estimate before he leaves. The company has earned its 5.0 rating through fast response and honest assessments, but as it grows, hold newer staff to the same standard by getting commitments in writing.
Keep in mind
- Spora does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means they diagnose the problem and sell the fix. Consider getting an independent test from a company that does not do remediation work, so your test results are not influenced by a financial interest in finding mold.
- Their claimed service area spans five counties (Pasco, Hernando, Hillsborough, Citrus, Sumter). If you are on the outer edges of that range, confirm response times and whether travel fees apply.
- The company recently rebranded from Water and Mold Remediation to Spora Mold Remediation. Many Google reviews reference the old name.
- The only negative review in the last 18 months cited a failure to follow up with a written estimate. If you request an inspection, confirm a timeline for receiving your written report.
- The free mold inspection is a lead-generation tool. Multiple reviewers appreciated it, but understand that a free visit from a company that sells remediation is a sales funnel.
