Fort Myers Mold Remediation
In the aftermath of serious storm or water damage, standing moisture can cause mold to quickly take root and start to grow. Once mold takes root, spores begin spreading, causing a colony to begin to appear in as little as 24 hours. Within a few days, a flooded area can be overrun with mold growth, resulting in air that could potentially be toxic. The key to a quick cleanup is to move quickly to dry out your space and to work alongside a Fort Myers mold remediation specialist, like the pros at Dryzone Inc.
How Does Mold Grow?
If you have ever had mold appear on food you leave in the fridge for too long, you might be wondering what causes this obnoxious organism to take root and spread so quickly? Why is it such a huge problem in the aftermath of major flooding or other water damage? To explain things simply, mold requires three things to grow: a carbon-based food source, a constant source of moisture, and protection from harmful radiation.
How Does Mold Spread?
- Mold spores are constantly floating in the air around us. When flooding or water damage occurs, any spores that come in contact with the impacted area will quickly settle.
- If the surface is carbon-based, such as wood, cotton, drywall, or one of any number of other materials, then the mold will quickly start to reproduce and spread.
- As mold spreads, it produces more and more spores, and these additional spores will also spread and take root elsewhere.
- Before long, mold can completely fill a space that offers adequate protection from sunlight.
Dangers of Mold
Mold is a major problem for property owners due to its ability to spread rapidly under the right conditions. Not only can mold cause health related issues, such as respiratory problems or aggravated asthma and allergy symptoms, but it can also lead to problems with building infrastructure, including rot and decay in wood structures. Prolonged exposure to mold can even lead to more serious health issues. Taking steps to prevent and remediate mold problems is essential for preserving your health and the structural integrity of your Fort Myers home or business.
Signs of Mold Exposure:
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Sneezing
- Nasal congestion
- Coughing
- Sore or irritated throat
- Dry skin
- Shortness of breath or wheezing
- Headaches
- Fatigue

Our Signature Mold Remediation Process
Our secret to dealing with your mold infestation lies in our tried-and-true mold remediation process. This six-step procedure covers everything from initial detection and inspections all the way through to the end of your remediation project.
Our Mold Remediation Process in Fort Myers Includes:
- We identify your mold problem. We offer thorough inspections as an IICRC certified and Florida state licensed mold remediator. We follow all procedures and guidelines to ensure that if your home has a mold issue, we find it.
- We provide you with an estimate. Once we know the scope of your project, we provide you with a remediation estimate. If you’re working with your insurance company, you can submit this estimate to them. Some customers choose to have our Fort Myers mold removal team get started on the remediation process right away rather than waiting for your insurance company, and we can do that if you choose to have your insurance company reimburse you.
- We assign a project manager. Your project manager is the leader on your job, and they will discuss important details with you, including your project timeline. They will also keep you updated on their findings and how work is progressing throughout your project.
- We begin remediation work. Our Fort Myers restoration crews then set to work restoring your home using top-of-the-line tools like HEPA vacuums, air scrubbers, and industrial drying fans. Throughout this process, your project manager will keep you in the loop of everything that is going on and send you updates via email. If you’re absent from your property (which isn’t unusual), we’ll send you pictures to help ease your mind.
- We prepare an air quality test. Once your remediation process is done, we conduct an air quality test to ensure that your mold problem is truly gone. We always recommend having this done by an independent third party to ensure accuracy and confirm your work was done properly.
- Remodeling and repair work begins. When remediation is finally completed, any materials that were not able to be fully remediated are replaced with a remodel or repair service. We are a licensed contractor and can complete any sized remodel or repair job.
