We are leaders in mold remediation services in Osceola County.

Our local Osceola County team is highly trained and certified to remediate mold damage in homes and commercial businesses in Kissimmee. Mold thrives in damp, humid environments, so the key to prevention is moisture control. Here are some effective ways to prevent mold growth in your home:

Monitor Humidity: Keep indoor humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent.

Proper Ventilation: Ensure good airflow by using exhaust fans. Additionally, use ventilation systems and open windows when weather permits to reduce humidity.

Address Leaks Promptly: Repair any leaks in roofs, plumbing, or foundations immediately to prevent water intrusion.

Use Mold-Resistant Products: Use mold-resistant drywall, paints, and insulation in areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms and basements.

Regular Cleaning: Routinely clean and maintain your home, including HVAC systems and air ducts, to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can promote mold growth.

Proper Insulation: Adequately insulate your home to prevent condensation on cold surfaces, which can lead to mold growth.

Gutters and Drainage: Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris to ensure proper water drainage from your home's foundation.

Use Exhaust Fans: When cooking or showering, use exhaust fans to expel moisture-laden air outside rather than letting it accumulate indoors.
