The Best Cape Coral Mold Inspectors (Assessors) are Certified Indoor Environmentalists licensed for mold
assessment by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). A Cape Coral mold
inspection should identify source of mold, extent of mold problem and include recommendations for corrections based on nationally
accepted industry standards such as the S520.
Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) does not license companies for mold assessment or mold remediation.By Florida
law they only license individuals for mold assessor (inspection) or mold remediator(removal). http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/
Infrared Thermal Imaging cameras are just one tool your
Cape Coral Mold Assessor should use,
we can't believe you
can do a good job without it.

How can I prevent mold growth in your Cape Coral
home or business?
Water (moisture) is the key. Without it, mold growth cannot start,
much less multiply and spread.
The easiest
way to prevent the mold from gaining a foothold is to control dampness. Keep your home or business clean and dry. If water
stands for even 24 hours, common molds can take hold.
Keeping humidity levels below 60% and venting
moisture from showering and cooking to the outside are several ways to prevent the conditions that can lead to mold growth.
Other waysinclude:
§ Clean and dry up spills within 24 hours
§ Dry out wet building materials and carpets within 24 hours
§ Use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier to reduce the indoor humidity levelsbelow 60%. If you have a central air conditioning system and need adehumidifier to reduce relative humidity below 60%, you should have the airconditioning system examined for problems
§
Do not carpet bathrooms or basements
We recommend Cape Coral homeowners keep their humidity levels below 55% if possible. That means
(seasonal residents) keep de-humidistat set at 55% not 65% or 68% like the AC company's sticker says. De-humidistat’s
seem to only measure the humidity where they are not the back bedroom or far end of the home.
Note:
While most experts suggest a relative humidity of less than 60%, below
50% is best for controlling both mold growth and dust mites.
Dust mites are microscopic animals related to spiders, ticks and other mites.
Dust mites eat mold and dead human or animal skin
scales (flakes) and leave allergenic proteins.
Dust mites reduce allergen production at these lowerhumidity levels.
