Most types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mold\/default.htm#:~:text=Mold%20can%20get%20in%20your,there%20has%20been%20a%20flood.\">mold prefer to grow in places with humidity levels that are over 62%<\/a>. Mold also grows well in areas that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are over 77 degrees in temperature<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have an organic food source<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The weather throughout the summer here in Florida often promotes mold growth, as we have both high temperatures and a lot of moisture in the air. This makes moisture removal an important consideration for commercial and residential property owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Moisture Removal Strategies to Handle Mold<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moisture removal is an important process if your home or business has problems with high humidity. Moisture makes it easy for mold to grow, so it\u2019s important to focus on water removal quickly after floods or leaks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you repair all leaks in your property quickly, especially if they are in a dark place, like your basement or below a bathroom sink. Generally, it\u2019s a good idea to begin water removal within 24 hours of a property damage event. You can use fans and sump pumps to remove water and moisture from your home or business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also contact a water damage restoration company. Water damage restoration focuses on removing excess liquid and getting your property dehumidified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unitedwaterrestoration.com\/services\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#750e0f;border-color:#5e0c0c;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 24px;font-size:18px;line-height:36px;border-color:#9f5757;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px;text-shadow:none;-moz-text-shadow:none;-webkit-text-shadow:none\"> Our Services<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Keep Moisture Out of Your Property<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take steps to prevent moisture from entering your property here in Florida. Many property owners turn to dehumidifiers to keep out excess moisture. Some HVAC systems come with humidification controls to limit moisture in the air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you use any vent fans in your bathroom or basement to limit unwanted moisture. It\u2019s also a good idea to ventilate your property by opening windows to encourage airflow. Finally, make sure you seal any leaks around your basement or foundation, as this can keep water out of your home or business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Let Us Help with Mold and Moisture Removal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mold and moisture removal often go hand-in-hand.
