We are leaders in mold damage remediation services in Miami-Dade County.

Our local Miami Beach team is Here to Help ® when your home or commercial business has a mold outbreak. Mold damage is a common challenge in Florida, but here are things that can be done to discourage mold growth. Here are some tips from the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for preventing mold growth in your home:

• Keep humidity levels in your home low, and no higher than 50 percent all day long. An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the level low. Humidity levels change over the course of a day so you will need to check the humidity levels more than once a day.
• Be sure the air in your home flows freely. Use exhaust fans that vent outside your home in the kitchen and bathroom. Make sure your clothes dryer vents outside your home.
• Fix any leaks in your home’s roof, walls, or plumbing so mold does not have moisture to grow.
• Clean up and dry out your home fully and quickly (within 24 to 48 hours) after a flood
• Add mold inhibitors to paints before painting. You can buy mold inhibitors at paint and home improvement stores.
• Clean bathrooms with mold-killing products
• Remove or replace carpets and upholstery that have been soaked and cannot be dried right away. Think about not using carpet in places like bathrooms or basements that may have a lot of moisture.
