South Florida homeowners are used to seeing severe weather pass through the region. Hurricanes are expected throughout the summer and some fall months. From torrential downpours with driven rain to vulnerabilities in your roof, Weston properties can be susceptible to mold growth and development in the wet or humid aftermath of a weather event. 

The Connection Between Storms and Mold Growth

Mold damage for Weston homes is typical after severe weather events. Storms do not just bring wind and rain; they often leave behind lingering moisture in walls, ceilings, carpets, and crawlspaces. This damp space is the best breeding ground for mold. Mold colonies can begin to grow within a day or two of water exposure, spreading rapidly throughout your home.

Common areas where mold thrives after a storm include:

  • Crawlspaces

  • On or behind drywall and insulation

  • Around windows and doors

  • In HVAC systems and ducts

  • Underneath carpets and flooring

Health Risks Associated with Mold

When mold is growing in your residence after a storm, you have a lot more going on than unsightly spotting on organic surfaces or a persistent strong odor to the face. The very presence of concentrated mold spores can irritate your family’s health and well-being. Prolonged exposure can make for uncomfortable living or exacerbate medical issues for the elderly, children, or those already facing respiratory conditions. 

The Importance of Expert Mold Inspection and Remediation 

Prompt identification and expert removal are essential for mold management in your household. Attempting to overcome a mold infestation without proper tools and knowledge can spread spores, exacerbating the issue.

  • Comprehensive Evaluations: Using moisture tracking equipment, our specialists detect all mold-impacted regions, including concealed areas. 

  • High-Quality Tools: We utilize industrial-grade and advanced instruments for containment, air purification, and mold elimination.
