What Remediation Specialists does

Remediation Specialists is a privately held, founder-owned commercial contracting company headquartered in Winter Park, Florida, with a second office in Clearwater serving the Tampa Bay market. Founded in 2007 by David Williams, the company operates a dual-division service model spanning commercial water damage restoration and mold remediation on one side, and exterior commercial waterproofing and building envelope work on the other. Service delivery is entirely direct, with no reseller or third-party channel, and the company maintains 24/7 emergency dispatch with a 2-hour target response time across Central Florida.

The company's core technology stack is anchored on industry-credentialed processes rather than software platforms: IICRC S520 Standard of Care for mold remediation, IICRC-certified technicians (Master Textile Cleaner, Fire and Smoke Restorer, Water Restorer, Applied Structural Drying, Odor Control), HEPA filtration with negative air pressure containment, and ICRA-compliant protocols for healthcare environments. Its differentiator versus generalist restoration contractors is a thermal imaging drone-based Advanced Building Assessment service that captures simultaneous HD video and thermal imaging across building envelopes, enabling non-invasive detection of hidden moisture at lower equipment cost than traditional scaffolding or swing stage methods. The Waterproofing Division, led by a project manager with 30+ years of experience and Swing Stage Rigging plus Scaffold OSHA Subpart L certification, supports high-rise work up to 30 stories.

Remediation Specialists generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts spanning approximately $1,000 to over $5M per engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales into healthcare systems, commercial real estate owners and property managers, and general contractors, supplemented by direct emergency phone intake, professional association membership (BOMA Orlando, FHEA, IFMA), and a referral network anchored on 14+ year partnerships with major Central Florida health systems. The company is licensed as a Florida General Contractor (CGC# 1516978) and holds a Florida Mold Remediation License (MRSR 3112), and projects with healthcare anchors include deployments such as 347 air movers and 135 dehumidifiers on a multi-floor pipe burst and 1,800-2,000 gallon silicone or masonry waterproofing applications on hospital exteriors.
