Recovering from a disaster can be difficult and stressful. We know that water damage disasters only get worse when moisture sits for an extended period of time. And, if this happens, moisture will prompt mold growth in your home or your business.
If your home or business encounters any type of natural disaster such as a hurricane, the disaster restoration experts in Naples are available around the clock to service your mold removal and mold remediation. So in order to minimize the damage and costs, you need to call a Naples mold removal and Naples mold remediation company.
Target the Underlying Cause of Mold
Mold thrives in moist and warm conditions. When these conditions combine with a suitable food source, mold can spread very quickly, often in unseen places. Mold easily lives on paper, cardboard, wood, fabric, carpet, drywall, and many other common building materials.
The underlying causes of mold include:
Ensure any water pipe or roof leaks are fixed. If the property has a history of flooding, you need to evaluate the risk of it happening again and maybe even consider a house move. Extensive flooding increases the risk of mold contamination. Especially after a disaster like a hurricane, there might be a lot of moisture and wet areas in your home or business. That could promote unwanted mold growth.
- Holes and gaps in the walls
Look out for cracks in walls or windows – they may be letting mold in through your external walls. Your home or business might suffer a lot of structural damage after a disaster, so it is important to be very thorough in checking all the parts of your home or business.
If the warm air inside your property hits a colder surface, like your windows, it causes interior condensation. This often leads to mold eating away at wooden window frames. To specifically target your window sills, moisture eliminator products are useful. However, if you suspect mold elsewhere in your house, they won’t be effective.
Your air conditioning, heating, and ventilation unit need regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure that it is not the culprit. It could be circulating fungus spores around the house. Get an expert to look into it and consider getting a HEPA air scrubber to clean the air.
I advise you to purchase one or more dehumidifier units, depending on the size of your home. A dehumidifier ensures you can keep the humidity of your property around the 50% mark – mold finds it harder to multiply in drier air.
