Florida is full of sunshine, beaches, warm weather and… mold. The Florida climate is full of mold spores all around. It may not affect us in our daily routine, but if your home had water damage at some point, chances are mold spores have started to reproduce.
Molds are a distinct species within the fungi family and are a part of the natural environment. Although there are numerous species, some have shown to be allergenic and also produce mycotoxins that could be harmful to one’s health. Due to their very small size, mold spores can be anywhere there is air, including under kitchen cabinets, underneath carpet and inside wall cavities. Once they land on a damp spot, mold spores begin growing. They digest any organic material they grow on in order to survive.
Although there are thousands of species of mold on earth, the most common molds that are found in North America are:
The most common indoor and outdoor mold. Species produce olive-green to brown or black colonies and have dark pigmented conidia that are formed in simple or branching chains.

in 4 steps:
Our technicians will perform a visual inspection to determine if a licensed mold assessor needs to be dispatched to take samples and generate a report for protocol.
Mold spores grow when there is a presence of water in a structure. We will determine the source and have it stopped to prevent further damage.
Our technicians will set up barriers to contain the affected area before it can spread to unaffected areas.
To make sure that contaminants do not escape from the contained area, we will set up HEPA Air Scrubbers to establish negative air pressure.
The only way to handle a mold problem is to remove the contaminated building materials. Even if mold was painted over, the spores remain dormant until coming in contact with water again.
Our technicians use specific cleaning and sanitizing agents to treat the areas that were once affected.
Dehumidification equipment is set up to remove the moisture in the area that first caused the microbial growth.
Once all the work is complete, the certified mold assessor will return to conduct a post-remediation evaluation to determine that the area is no longer contaminated by mold.
