We are trained and certified to remediate mold outbreaks in Broward County.

Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams have been restoring mold outbreaks in Miramar for many years. Here are some tips for minimizing the chances of a mold outbreak:

Proper Ventilation:  Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens. Proper ventilation helps reduce indoor humidity levels, making it less favorable for mold growth.

Control Indoor Humidity: Invest in dehumidifiers to maintain indoor humidity below 60%, as mold thrives in moist conditions. Regularly empty and clean the dehumidifier's reservoir.

Regular Inspection: Inspect your home for any signs of water leaks or moisture intrusion.

Effective Drainage: Ensure proper drainage around your home to divert rainwater from the foundation.

Proper Insulation: Insulate your home properly to prevent condensation on walls and ceilings. Well-insulated homes are less likely to develop moisture problems that lead to mold.

Use Mold-Resistant Materials: When renovating or building, opt for mold-resistant drywall, paint, and insulation materials. These products are designed to discourage mold growth.

Regular Cleaning: Keep your home clean and dry. Dust and vacuum regularly, and use mold-resistant cleaning products in areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens.

Landscaping: Trim trees and bushes near your home to allow sunlight and airflow, reducing the chances of mold growth on exterior walls.
