Florida homes have a higher risk of experiencing microbial growth and mold damage due to the weather conditions.

Call the Certified Technicians at SERVPRO at the First Sign of Mold in Your Home

Fort Lauderdale homes remain at higher risk of microbial growth, water damage, and other hurricane-related problems. SERVPRO technicians study and receive IICRC certificates in mitigation and related fields so homeowners can rest assured that their homes receive the necessary care.

Discovering mildew and mold growing in a Fort Lauderdale home signifies the need for professional mold removal and remediation. Without this, mold can continue to grow. Unchecked, it can take over a home quickly. Made from cellulose of various forms, homes contain almost unlimited amounts of food sources for mold and mildew.

Growth cannot happen without a source of water for these microbes, however. Part of remediation of mold includes locating this source and eliminating it from the environment. Leak from pipes, drains, or appliances can happen, as can entryways for external sources of water. Loose roofing materials, soggy floors in crawlspaces, and basement cracks can all allow water to enter your home.

Before we remove the mold already growing inside your home by cutting away and removing drywall, carpeting, and other materials, we put up physical barriers, such as heavy-gauge plastic sheeting, and set up air scrubbers. These machines eliminate microscopic pathogens and other debris from the air.

Carpeting can sustain copious amounts of damage, even in areas where it seems dry and impervious to moisture. This happens because the moisture travels within the absorbent and highly porous padding underneath. Mold also consumes the glue on the carpet's underside. Eliminating any carpet affected by mold often removes a large percentage of the mold within a home.

Because mold can grow anywhere in a home, we can perform mold removal from any type of situation or environment. Having only a normal amount of mold and mildew in your home protects not only your home but it also protects the people living there.
