Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in damp and humid environments. It can grow on a variety of surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and floors. Mold reproduces through tiny
spores that are released into the air, where they can be inhaled by humans and animals.
Exposure to mold can cause a variety of health problems, ranging from allergies and asthma to more serious respiratory issues. It can also irritate the eyes, skin, and throat. People with compromised immune systems may be more vulnerable to the negative effects of mold exposure.
In addition to the health risks, mold growth can also weaken the structure of a home. It can cause wood and other materials to rot, leading to costly repairs. Particularly in South Florida, it can also spread quickly if left unchecked, making it important to address the issue as soon as possible.
If you suspect that you have a mold problem in your home, it is important to call a professional company to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. A trained and experienced mold remediation specialist will be able
to identify the type of mold present and recommend the appropriate remediation methods.

Here are some of the steps that may be taken if mold growth is suspected:
-
Steemer of South Florida will first send our certified Mold Remediation Specialist for a free inspection of the mold-affected areas.
-
The next step is to have a licensed hygienist take an air sample of the affected areas to determine the species of the growth and how much is airborne.
-
Identify the source of the mold: In order to properly remediate mold, it is important to determine the source of the moisture that is causing the growth. This could be a leaky roof, a plumbing issue, or excess humidity in the home.
-
Address the source of the moisture: Once the source of the moisture has been identified, it is important to repair the issue in order to prevent future mold growth.
-
Remove any affected materials: Any materials that have been affected by the mold, such as drywall or carpeting, should be removed and properly disposed of.
-
Clean and disinfect the affected area: The affected area should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to ensure that all mold spores have been eliminated.
-
Dry the affected area: It is important to ensure that the affected area is completely dry in order to prevent future mold growth.
-
Repair and restore the affected area: Any damages to the affected area should be repaired and the area should be restored to its original condition
IMPORTANT!
It is important to note that attempting to remediate mold on your own can be dangerous and may not effectively eliminate the problem. A professional mold remediation company has the necessary equipment and expertise to safely and effectively remediate the mold in your home.
If you suspect that you have a mold problem in your home, do not hesitate to call a professional company to have it properly remediated. The health and safety of you and your family, as well as the integrity of your home, are at stake.

faq
Q: HOW CAN I TELL IF I NEED PROFESSIONAL WATER RESTORATION SERVICES?
A: In some cases, such as a natural disaster, you may be required to seek professional water restoration services for your insurance coverage. Other instances are a bit harder to tell. Look for signs of leaks around your home, as this may lead to your pipes bursting and an even larger issue. Cracked, peeled or discolored paint may indicate a leak, as may swollen walls or visible mold.
Q: HOW SOON AFTER A FLOOD CAN I CALL FOR WATER RESTORATION SERVICES?
A: You should call as soon as a flood happens or as soon as it is safe to, in the event you’ve had to temporarily relocate. It is recommended that you call right away, as mold can start to grow within the first 24 hours.
Q: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO REACH STANLEY STEEMER IN THE EVENT OF WATER DAMAGE?
A: You can call (888) 982-3553 at any time and any day of the week. Our flood restoration services are available 24/7.
Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO WHILE I WAIT FOR PROFESSIONALS TO ARRIVE?
A: If possible, stop your water at its source and turn off your electricity if it’s safe to do so. Remove any small appliances, furnishings and draperies to a dry space if possible so that there are fewer items at risk of damage. Do NOT use a vacuum or shop-vac to remove water, as this can cause electrical shock and ruin the appliances. Avoid mopping, as this can just push potentially contaminated water around, into the walls and otherwise dry areas of your home.
Q: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TECHNICIANS ARRIVE?
A: Extraction equipment is brought in to remove any and all of the freestanding water, including water from carpets and upholstery. Then, professional-grade drying equipment and dehumidifiers are used to lessen the humidity level and prevent the growth of mold. We utilize special instruments to then scope out any hidden pockets of water that might still be lingering in the affected areas.
