Your Complete Resource for Mold Removal, Inspections, Remediation and Prevention.

This site was designed to be an educational and informational resource for consumers when it comes to mold in your home or business. Between the internet, what you've heard and your preconceived thoughts on mold, there is enough information (or misleading information) to make your head spin. My primary focus is the Gulf Coast of Florida (specifically Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Port Charlotte and St. Petersburg), so this information will focus on mold as it relates to these areas. However, most of the information will apply to any geographic area.

Do I have mold in my home?

If you live in Florida, the answer is almost certainly YES. The warm humid environment combined with abundant plant life and vegetation makes Florida an ideal breeding ground for mold. Every time, a window or door is opened, mold enters your home. The real question is do I have a mold problem? This can be a loaded question, but basically you want to be sure that your mold counts are equal or lower than outside or lower than industry acceptable level.

How does mold grow?

There are a few components necessary for mold growth: Food, water, time. The food source is anything organic in the home meaning wood products (baseboard,cabinets, furniture), paper on drywall, and even dust (usually contains dead skin cells). The other key factor with elevated mold growth is that it is usually indicative of a moisture problem. This could be from a roof or plumbing leak or even a just high humidity levels. Mold is a living organism and needs a water or moisture source to live and grow.
