Mold Prevention

Sarasota’s Mold Prevention Professionals

Mold can be a very unexpected and expensive problem.  In order to avoid having a serious mold problem, Sarasota’s mold professionals are here to help you.

Mold requires a food source, time, and water in order to grow.  So the most important thing you can do to prevent mold in your home or business is to prevent water intrusion.  Where other water removal companies just remove the water, we protect our customers from hidden water damage, which could potentially create a mold problem, through a thorough inspection process. Our licensed professionals measure the moisture content of all the suspected water-damaged areas of your home or office with three separate moisture meters.

Our Process:

1. The first meter is used to check for water in the carpet and pad. It has a moisture sensor that reacts when it locates moisture.
2. The second meter measures the moisture content of critical areas like ceilings, walls, baseboards and cabinets. This meter helps determine if any part of the building structure needs to be dried, aside from the carpets.
3. The third meter is a thermal hydrometer. It measures the temperature and relative humidity (or moisture content) of the air. Our certified technicians use the thermal hydrometer during every stage of the drying process, to insure that our drying process is working and that our customers are protected.

For the final step, we use a thermal imaging camera.   This infrared camera lets our customers see for themselves the full extent of water penetration in their home or business.

With the use of the infrared camera and the moisture meters, we are accurately able to assess your home for any possible water intrusion.  Once we have properly dried your home or business, we give every customer written documentation that the entire home or office, not just the carpet, is brought back to an acceptable moisture content.  Proper drying prevents mold!
