Mold is no joke. It causes respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and makes your home unsafe to live in. It’s serious and requires a serious solution.
If you discover mold and try to remove it on your own, it’s time to second-guess that decision. It’s not only dangerous to your health but could actually worsen the problem.
Discovering mold in your home means you need to hire contractors for mold remediation in Lake Worth, FL–here’s why you shouldn’t do it on your own.
When there’s mold present in your home, it poses major health risks. If you ever notice a funky smell when you turn on your heater, or if you’ve come across visible mold in the dark, damp corners of your home, you have a serious problem on your hands.
You need mold remediation in West Palm Beach, FL. Here are three major reasons why mold removal simply can’t wait, otherwise, you run the risk of harm to your family and your home.
Mold doesn’t just impact the food you brought back from the restaurant and forgot about for a month (we’ve all been there.) Mold, especially in regions as humid as ours, can negatively impact our homes and, by default, our quality of life.
No one wants to use a bathroom with mold creeping out from the corners, or sit in a room with mold decorating the walls like bad wallpaper. It smells bad, looks bad, and in many cases is bad for you. You want to try to prevent mold growth as best as you can. And we can help you do that.
Read on for tips on preventing mold growth in your home and what to do if you encounter mold growth that has already begun.
As cool air flows down from ducts, the moisture in the air condenses because of the air’s lowered temperatures. With time, mold grows over moist surfaces in the duct. If not treated in a timely manner, mold spores can travel down through the ducts and cause numerous health issues such as allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Vigilant removal of mold is necessary to ensure that your living space remains healthy.
Professional duct cleaning services are available which remove mold from ducts without any hassle. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) highly recommends mold remediation of ducts.
You likely don’t think much about this problem—you might not even know it was a problem! But because your air conditioner provides you with the cool air that you breathe in every day during the summer and beyond, it’s definitely a problem that should concern you.
Sure, you could call someone to clean out your ducts, but is that really resolving the problem, or temporarily relieving symptoms? (Hint: It’s the latter!)
We’ll get to what you can do about mold growth that’s an effective solution. But first, let’s talk about the common causes of this mold development.
It’s not pretty to think about—actually, it’s literally not pretty—but mold is a big problem where we’re from. High humidity and long summers create the perfect environment for mold and mildew buildup. And if your home has excess moisture in it, mold can even grow there.
Where’s the best place in your home for mold to thrive? It’s your ductwork, where it is cool and damp for the majority of the year as you use your air conditioner. There’s one way to prevent this, and that’s the installation of a UV air purifier. Also called germicidal lights or UV lights, a UV air purifier is harmless to people and pets, but kills microorganisms lurking in ductwork.
But what if the mold is already there? Is there anything you can do besides rip out all your ductwork and start from scratch? (Please don’t do this! There’s another way!)
The really short answer to this is “excess moisture,” which probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise. And in Florida, we have plenty of moisture! That is, in the form of humidity.
Humidity is a comfort issue first and foremost. Any relative humidity level above 50% doesn’t allow our bodies to sweat and, as a result, we cannot cool off. Running your air conditioner at a lower temperature helps a little, since lower temperatures do decrease moisture. However, your air conditioner is not built for this job and does very little for mold remediation in West Palm Beach, FL.
Besides, what if you aren’t home or your home is a part-time vacation home, and therefore you aren’t even using your air conditioner? Well, then you’ve just compounded the problem. What causes the worst of mold growth in situations like this?
