Recent water leak? There's a good chance your property has mold damage.

Microscopic mold spores exist everywhere, but when conditions are right, mold can spread rapidly indoors, causing damage to your property and your health. Mold thrives in moist conditions where there is a lack of ventilation. We often see mold growth after a water leak — it can start growing within 48 hours. If you suspect you have a mold problem, remedying the issue should be a priority.

Signs you may have a mold problem and where to look

Sometimes an overgrowth of mold is obvious — you can see it as dark spots on walls or floors, or you can smell a musty odor. But other times, you may not even be aware you have a mold problem until you start experiencing health issues such as chronic watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, itching, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, headache, and fatigue. Some molds such as Stachybotrys and Aspergillus, can produce toxins called mycotoxins, which can cause more serious illness. Mold commonly grows in a few main areas of your house:

Humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens

Humidity, a lack of air circulation and a source of food in the form of cellulose create the perfect conditions for mold to grow. Because of this, we often see mold in bathrooms or kitchens that don’t have good ventilation.

Attics

The attic is another place mold proliferates. The most common causes are: insufficient ventilation (through blocked soffits, for example), bathroom and dryer vents and kitchen exhaust fans that improperly pump moisture into the attic instead of outdoors, and finally, water leaks because of roof issues.

Perimeter drains

Perimeter drains are another common mold-causing culprit. If they have been improperly installed and your home is sitting below the water table, moisture could be seeping into your basement.

Floors and walls

Leaks and floods can create the conditions that allow mold to take hold and grow— within 48 hours if the area is not thoroughly dried and cleaned.

Florida Gulf Mitigation Mold Remediation Services

Florida Gulf Mitigation partners offer full mold remediation services. While every situation is different, generally our mold remediation sticks to the following basic process:

1. Inspection and damage assessment

Mold may not be visible. It could be hidden behind walls or within carpets. We use professional technologies such as particle scanners, borescopes and infrared cameras etc. to detect mold and water leaks.

2. Mold containment

As a first step, all heating and cooling systems are shut down to prevent the spread of mold throughout the house. We then contain the mold using air negative air machines (NAM) that pulls contaminated air through a series of filters and emits the freshly filtered air as well as barriers.

3. Air filtration

Air scrubbers remove the particulates and gasses caused by mold and specialized HEPA vacuums trap and filter a large amount of very small particles from surfaces, keeping them contained for later disposal.

4. Mold removal

Antifungal and antimicrobial treatments will eliminate mold colonies and prevent new ones from staring up. If the infestation is extreme, drywall and carpets may need to be removed and replaced.

5. Cleaning contacts

A thorough cleaning and sanitizing of your belongings, furniture may be in order to remove mold and its musty odor.

6. Restoration

If drywall, subfloors or other building material needed to be removed, repairs will be made to restore your home or business to its original state.
