SERVPRO of Miami Beach has a Proposal

Floridians know we have several state symbols:

• Bird
• Stone
• Song
• Beverage
• Fruit
• Soil
• Flower
• Sea Mammal
• Land Mammal

What we lack is a state fungus. We even have a State Play, but we don’t have a State Fungus. We’re in Florida! How can that be? It rains so often, and the humidity is so high, that no one asks whether our homes have problems with mold, instead they ask how we battle mold.

Florida officials: we don’t care which kind of mold you choose as our state fungus, just that you decide on one – or just on mold in general.

That said, we know mold is a bigger problem during some occasions than at others.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends calling professional mold mitigation teams when the infestation is larger than three square feet. They require businesses to call in professionals to mitigate mold infestations in those circumstances.

SERVPRO of Miami Beach has the certification and experience to mitigate mold safely, thoroughly, and correctly.

Major Moisture ? Mold Invasion

Whether the moisture is in the form of too-high indoor humidity or an unintended indoor lake, after 24 to 48 hours, mold spores come out of hibernation and open, developing into colonies to start feasting upon just about everything, and reproducing more mold to feast upon just about everything.

Mold colonies:

• Grow faster than infants
• Eat more than adolescents
• Have worse odors than athletes after practice but before showers
• May cause allergies for some people and pets – even when they’re dead, which is why professional removal is necessary as well as disinfection
• May cause illnesses for some people and pets – even when they’re dead, which is why professional removal is necessary as well as disinfection
• Are usually unattractive – not that we base quality only on appearance
• Can be black, brown, tan, blue, purple, pink, yellow, orange, or white
• Might be smooth or fuzzy

The diversity of mold qualifies it as Floridian.
