Weeki Wachee is the spring, the river, and the neighborhoods along both. The spring has run a mermaid show since Newton Perry opened it in 1947, and the river flows from there to the Gulf past Weeki Wachee Gardens, Palm Grove Colony, and the other river-front streets of small 1960s and 1970s homes on low ground.
Those streets flood from both ends. Helene's surge came up the river on September 26, 2024, and put close to six feet of water in some Weeki Wachee Gardens homes, a year after Idalia flooded the same houses. Away from the river, on the US-19 side, Weeki Wachee is Spring Hill's block ranches on limestone, with the same sinkhole history.
Homeowners in Weeki Wachee 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 house that has flooded two years running and been dried twice is a whole-home mold remediation call, because the second rebuild usually went over the first one's wet block. A single flooded room is mold removal. Growth on the ceiling of a river cottage under a low roof is black mold removal, treated by extent and moisture rather than by color.
Weeki Wachee Springs State Park covers 538 acres around a first-magnitude spring, and the river gauge below it is the number the Gardens watches during a storm. Permits for the rebuild go through Hernando County, since Weeki Wachee is unincorporated.
