• Repair any water leaks promptly and address any signs of water intrusion
• Ensure proper drainage around the property to prevent water pooling near the foundation
• Use exhaust fans or open windows when cooking, bathing, or doing activities that generate moisture
• Clean and dry any water-damaged materials or items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth
• Regularly inspect and maintain your property, including roofs, plumbing, and ventilation systems

The warm and moist climate in Freeport creates the perfect atmosphere for mold colonies to thrive. By addressing any moisture issues and maintaining a dry and well-ventilated environment, you can reduce the risk of mold outbreaks in your home or business.

How Can I Prevent Mold Damage in Point Washington?

7/18/2023 (Permalink)

We restore storm-damaged properties in Walton County.

Point Washington’s climate encourages mold growth, so when you need help remediating mold, our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams are Here to Help.® The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers these tips 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.

What Causes Mold Outbreaks in Destin?

6/27/2023 (Permalink)

Mold is a common problem in Okaloosa County.

Do you know that overwatering houseplants can encourage mold growth? Our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams are highly trained and certified to remediate mold damage by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Here is some information about mold from the Florida Department of Health:

Controlling moisture is the key to stopping indoor mold growth because all molds require water to grow. Moisture can come from:

• Flooding from the outside (storm water, overflowing lakes, streams, storm surge, etc.)
• Flooding from the indoors (overflow from sinks, tubs, toilets, air conditioner drain pans or sewerage systems)
• Condensation (caused by indoor humidity that is too high or surfaces that are too cold)
• Water leaks from outside the building (roof, walls, floors)
• Indoor plumbing leaks or broken water pipes
• Outdoor sprinkler spray hitting the walls, or indoor fire sprinklers
• Poor venting of kitchen and bathroom moisture (steam from shower or cooking)
• Humidifier use
• Drying wet clothes indoors, or not venting clothes dryers outdoors (including electric dryers)
• House plants (overwatering, etc.)
• Moisture from our bodies (sweat, wet hair on pillows, breath)
• Warm, moist air from outdoors
• Liquid spills

Mold Outbreak in Seaside Caused by Leaking Air Conditioner?

5/16/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in mold damage restoration services in Walton County.

Our Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams are trained and certified to remediate mold damage in homes and commercial businesses in Seaside. Mold is often a symptom of a water damage issue and can spring up after a storm or when there is a water leak or excess moisture in the home or building. Leaking air conditioner units are also a common cause of mold outbreaks.

Here are some helpful tips from the Institute of Business and Home Safety for protecting your home from mold damage caused by heavy rain:

Check wall air conditioners.

Internal Drain

If the air conditioning unit has an internal drain, make sure the pipe size is adequate and water is running and flowing freely in order to handle a high volume of water.

Caulking of Air Conditioning Unit Sleeve: Look for any gaps, cracks, or other damage that indicates improper caulking around the edge of the sleeve to the exterior of the building. This increases vulnerability to water entry.

Orientation: Tilting the air conditioning unit sleeves slightly (two degrees) towards the exterior wall can significantly reduce the water’s entry.

Weather Stripping: Proper weather stripping between the air conditioning unit and the sleeve can reduce the water from entering.

Hidden Mold Outbreak Causes Stinky Smell in Santa Rosa Beach Home?

4/25/2023 (Permalink)

We remediate mold damage in Walton County.

Santa Rosa Beach residents have been relying on our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams of professionals to restore water-related mold damage for over twenty years. Mold is often caused by water damage and can hide inside walls and underneath carpeting, feeding on drywall or carpet fibers. If you notice a strong musty odor that you cannot place, you may have a leaking appliance or another excess moisture issue that is contributing to mold growth somewhere in your home or business.

When the mold outbreak is extensive, every item in the affected area must be cleaned. Mold spores can be found on clothing, pets, bedding, walls, drapery, and drywall and must be professionally cleaned to minimize the chances of the mold returning once the remediation process is complete. Our team is trained and certified in Applied Microbial Remediation and has the equipment and experience necessary to restore damaged areas to pre-mold conditions.

Leaking Air Conditioner Causes Mold Outbreak in Destin Home?

3/21/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in mold remediation services in Walton County.

Our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams have the training, equipment, and experience to restore mold damage quickly and efficiently, no matter how extensive the mold and water damage is. The moist and warm climate of Florida creates the ideal conditions for mold to thrive. Often mold is caused by a leaking appliance. We will locate and repair the source of the excess moisture to discourage the mold from returning once the remediation process is complete.

Leaking air conditioning units can encourage mold growth. If the evaporator coil becomes clogged with dust and dirt, water may leak out into the drain pan and drip onto the ceiling and walls. The mold damage would have to be remediated, the air conditioner coil would need to be cleaned and the water damage to the ceiling and insulation would have to be repaired and repainted.

Fortunately, our professionals take care of everything, including cleaning the air conditioner coil and restoring the mold and water damage to pre-damage condition! We have established relationships with all the major insurance companies and can assist you with the paperwork and process, too.
