Mold Invading Attics in the North Redington Beach Area

The dampness from the Gulf Coast area of Southwestern Florida often fosters significant mold damage. Many condominiums are closed up for many months at a time without adequate temperature and humidity control. SERVPRO stresses to these part-time residents to maintain an RH, relative humidity of about 55% when they are absent from their condos. The Before Photo depicts when conducive conditions lead to mold infestations requiring remediation. SERVPRO AMRT techs can use ice or soda blasting to scrape the patches and hyphae from the bare wood without making a large mess. Negative air pressure coupled with HEPA filtered air scrubbers can control this process. No point in circulating mold spores and particles to unaffected areas of the structure.
