Did you know that when a home suffers any type of water damage, mold can arise within 48-72 hours throughout the home?  Removing all mold in a home is impossible as they are microscopic spores living both inside and outside. Unfortunately, mold spores produce a variety of irritants and allergens, making them potential health problems. As such, removing as much mold as possible is important for any homeowner, particularly for South Florida homeowners.

The following are some of the most common places for home mold growth:

1. Bathrooms and showers
2. HVAC system drain pans
3. Underneath kitchen sinks
4. Areas surrounding refrigerators
5. Carpets
6. Crawlspaces
7. Ceiling tiles
8. Surrounding air conditioning units
9. Stacks of paper/newspapers/cardboard boxes/etc. that are dampened or wet
10. Areas surrounding any kind of cooling or heating appliances
