Due to the high humidity and moisture conditions in the Panhandle of Florida, mold growth in local homes and businesses is a very common occurrence. Mold can spread through your property in as little as 48 hours and can produce allergens and irritants which can lead to a variety of health effects. To understand the mold mitigation and remediation processes, it is important to first understand the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, and it is impossible to remove 100% of mold.
- Mold spores are microscopic, float in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, HVAC systems, or on your clothing as you enter a structure
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keeping indoor humidity below 45 percent helps reduce growth.
