Common Causes of Mold in Homes

Believe it or not, mold can grow just about anywhere. Mold is most commonly found in places with moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens. Common causes of mold that we see in Tampa homes include:

Leaking pipes - If your home's pipes are leaking you will likely find mold under your sink or inside your walls.
Persistent humidity - Tampa's humidity is high at all times. It's important that homes are properly ventilated to avoid moisture build-up.
Leaking roof - If your roof was recently damaged by severe weather it's possible that leaks have formed and moisture is being built up in your attic or ceiling.
Flooding - In Tampa we experience our fair share of flooding. Homes can flood during heavy rain and hurricanes. Flooded homes are an ideal environment for mold to begin growing. When you experience flooding in your home, it's important to get things dried out as quickly as possible.

Regardless of the cause of the mold in your home, ServiceMaster DSI offers water mitigation and mold removal services in order to safely remove toxic mold. Do not hesitate to reach out to our Tampa mold removal specialists today!

Understanding Mold Exposure

Mold colonies can cause a variety of indoor air quality (IAQ) and health issues. Airborne spores are rapidly distributed throughout the building by means of the HVAC system. Plumbing leaks, flooding and fire suppression all contribute to the problem as the mold flourishes.

Once colonies are established, they begin to release spores and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Allergens generated by mold can cause severe reactions, including eye irritation, sneezing, sore throat and skin rash.

Our Mold Removal Process

Mold begins to grow within 48 hours anytime it’s exposed to moisture. This can result from a broken pipe, a flood, a slow leak or even high humidity. Professional mold removal companies employ specific protocols designed to remove existing colonies and eliminate the chance of new growth.

Inspection Phase: Our technicians will inspect your home for visible signs of activity. If mold is found, we can help guide you through the reports for your insurance company.

As long as the mold contamination area is limited to 10 square feet, we will proceed with a complete remediation effort. If we encounter an affected area of more than 10 square feet, we will contain the area, stop the normal mitigation process, and immediately notify your insurance company. If this is the case, we strongly recommend the use of an environmental testing service to establish baseline levels of mold.
Mold Containment: We use a variety of containment strategies to stop the spread of mold. This includes isolating and containing mold with physical barriers or other techniques. We use the latest technology to capture, filter, and scrub mold spores from the air. A special anti-microbial agent is used to protect your home from future growth.
Contents Cleaning: After removing and disposing of porous and compromised materials like carpeting and drywall, we’ll professionally clean your belongings, including furniture, decorative pieces, clothing and other restorable items. Our technicians use a variety of techniques and professional-grade products that clean thoroughly without affecting the material itself.
