Interrupted by the scourge that is Immokalee mold
Immokalee, Florida represents everything “old Florida”. Long front porches facing west to view the spectacular sunsets over the horizon, lush fields, and an old-world feel all define Immokalee. Don’t let your piece of Americana be interrupted by the scourge that is Immokalee mold. There are many steps to a proper Immokalee mold assessment and Immokalee mold remediation, and Immokalee is no exception to that rule. Immokalee folklore is full of old wives tales about secret methods to remove the odor and damage caused by humidity-driven Immokalee mold. Vinegar, Bleach, and aerosol-sprays might curtail the aroma and appearance of the Immokalee mold damage, but ultimately homeowners that use these methods are just putting perfume on a skunk. The skunk doesn’t go away, and neither does the Immokalee mold.
Immokalee’s tropical climate poses a unique threat to healthy indoor air because of its high humidity. Biological growth is common in air-conditioned buildings, where moisture and dust in ventilation systems create ideal conditions for microbial contamination, including Immokalee mold and bacteria. Changes in building design and operations may increase exposure levels to higher concentrations of a variety of air pollutants. Negative health effects from poor air quality, from allergies to harmful disease, can occur.

One of the unique strengths is specialized knowledge of biological contaminant identification, removal and control in tropical climates by licensed Immokalee mold professionals. When a Licensed Immokalee Mold Remediator evaluation reveals active or potential microbial contaminant sources, air sampling and analysis is conducted to document the extent of contaminants, as well as potential hazards to occupant health. A third party Immokalee mold-assessor samples the areas of concern, which are then analyzed by a scientist at a certified laboratory to assure homeowners unbiased results and the highest degree of accuracy.
With growing evidence and liability associated with the adverse health effects of Immokalee mold and the bio-deterioration of property caused by colonized Immokalee mold growth, it is now more important then ever to face this situation head on. Hundreds of cases against properties in Immokalee surface every month.
