The best way for Naples homeowners to control mold is to call SERVPRO for professional remediation.

How Can a Naples Homeowner Control Mold Damage?

 If the weather has been significantly humid for a few days, molds may start developing inside the house. Humidity can increase when moisture inside the house evaporates into the air. Poor ventilation can increase indoor RH relative humidity to a conducive level for mold spore germination. One of the contributing factors to indoor humidity issues is drying clothes indoors. The HVAC system in the house can also lead to humidity problems when heating or cooling the air within the structure.

If mold damage has overtaken your Naples home, you can count on SERVPRO to deal with the situation. We have efficient tools and products to eliminate mold, and our technicians have many years of experience ensuring a smooth restoration process. Following IICRC guidelines, we can return your home to preloss conditions quickly and professionally, "Like it never even happened."

Mold thrives in humid conditions and prefers when the relative humidity is above 70%. Therefore, removing water vapor from the air is essential to mold damage control. We use dehumidifiers, which pull in moist, humid air and then replace it with dry, warm air. The dry air absorbs moisture from wet items like a sponge. SERVPRO uses two types of dehumidifiers:

• Desiccants--rely on chemicals to absorb water vapor
• LGR-low grain refrigerant that works as an air conditioner
  

Once the mold is eradicated, deodorization is necessary to neutralize the pungent smell left behind by the fungi. Ultra-Low Volume Foggers can atomize liquid deodorizing agents and produce a fine mist that penetrates areas with odor-causing residues. We also use the device to inject fungicides and disinfectants into hard-to-reach areas such as wall cavities.

 Thermal foggers are also helpful in mold damage deodorization. They discharge solvent-based products in large, dense fogs ideal for confined spaces. The fog comprises small particles that bond with and neutralize odor-causing agents.
