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.
Mold is always a problem, that is never in question. What is in question is where that mold growth might be? The sooner you find any mold that is in your house the easier it will be to remove and address it.
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.
When you spot mold in your cupboard or on food in your fridge what is the first thing you do? You get rid of is ASAP! Mold can be harmful to your health if consumed or if the spores are breathed in. We all know that mold is a bad thing but what do you do if it’s hidden from your sight?

Could you imagine even one summer day in your home without an air conditioner? We rely on these systems pretty heavily here in the Lake Worth area, so to be told something is wrong with your air conditioner can be pretty frustrating—especially if you’re told that problem is mold.
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.
