Hidden Water Damage Causes Mold Outbreak in Miami Beach Home?

7/11/2023 (Permalink)

Mold grows on a wall. We are leaders in mold damage remediation services in Miami-Dade County.

Our local Miami Beach team is Here to Help ® when your home or commercial business has a mold outbreak. Mold damage is a common challenge in Florida, but here are things that can be done to discourage mold growth. Here are some tips from the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 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.

Water Leak in Ceiling Causes Mold Problem in Normandy Isles?

5/30/2023 (Permalink)

Mold growth is visible on the water-damaged ceiling. We are leaders in mold damage restoration services in Miami-Dade County.

Mold is a common challenge for Floridians because our warm and moist climate encourages mold growth. Microscopic mold spores have been floating in the Earth’s atmosphere for millions of years and play an important role in breaking down organic matter. When the spores find the perfect environment, they colonize quickly and feed from a variety of organic matter including clothes, carpeting, drywall, paper products, wood, and more.

Our local Miami Beach team has been restoring mold damage for Normandy Isles residents and businesses for many years. Often mold is a symptom of a water leak from plumbing or an outside source coming into the structure. We will locate the cause of the excess moisture and correct the problem to discourage the mold from returning once the remediation is complete.

How Can I Discourage Mold from Growing in my South Beach Home?

4/3/2023 (Permalink)

A closeup of mold spores is shown. We restore mold damage in Miami-Dade County!

The warm, moist climate in Florida creates the perfect environment for mold to thrive, making mold outbreaks a common challenge in South Beach. Our local Miami Beach team is trained and certified to mitigate and restore mold damage in South Beach by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). The Florida Department of Health offers these tips for preventing mold growth:

Keep your home clean and dry. When water stands for even 24 hours, common molds can take hold. Keeping humidity levels below 60 percent and venting moisture from showering and cooking to the outside are several ways to prevent the conditions that can lead to mold growth. Other ways include:

  • Clean and dry up spills within 24 hours
  • Dry out wet building materials and carpets within 24 hours
  • Use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier to reduce the indoor humidity levels below 60 percent. If you have a central air conditioning system and need a dehumidifier to reduce relative humidity below 60 percent, you should have the air conditioning system examined for problems
  • Do not carpet bathrooms or basements
  • Note: While most experts suggest a relative humidity of less than 60 percent, below 50 percent is best for controlling both mold growth and dust mites

Innovating Mold Control in Miami Beach

SERVPROXIDE is an EPA-registered disinfectant that carries the EPA's lowest toxicity rating.

SERVPRO is unique in the national restoration industry because of our experience, and our resources.

Many end-users don't know that SERVPRO employs its own chemist, who formulates and manages the company's own line of cleaning products. The products take in 40 years worth of experiences in the field to provide products that are truly state of the art. It is important to us that these products are safe and friendly to the customers we serve in Miami, Miami Beach and beyond.

One of the recent great additions to our stable is  SERVPROXIDE, an EPA-registered, stabilized chlorine dioxide based disinfectant and sanitizer. The great thing about SERVPROXIDE is that it carries the EPA's lowest toxicity rating and is safe for everyday use.  This product is designed to kill harmful bacteria, viruses and mold on hard surfaces and is an effective sanitizer for soft surfaces.  On top of all the great things this product provides, it can be used just about any where!

Of course our principle mission is to remove mold from properties, where it is found to be at excess concentrations. However, as a backup it is important to have safe, effective tools that can provide efficient kill characteristics that can reduce the risk of future growth.

SERVPRO of Miami Beach is excited to put this new product to use on our next mold job!
