How to eliminate mold growth?
Identify problem areas in your home and correct them. You can’t mold-proof your home, but you can make it mold-resistant. Preventing mold from growing or spreading might be as simple as ripping up carpet in a damp basement, installing mold-resistant products, or repairing damaged gutters. Or it may be a matter of major excavation and waterproofing. Whatever the case, address the problem now. It might cost some money up front, but it will surely be more costly down the road if the mold continues to grow unchecked.

Mold Inspection
ServiceMaster by Wright uses InstaScope® airborne mold detection, a mold inspection instrument that provides real-time results, allowing you to take action sooner if elevated airborne mold levels are found. This state-of-the-art system allows our mold inspectors and mold damage restoration professionals to scan the air in your home room-by-room and instantly help locate harmful hidden airborne mold.
-
Mold Testing
Our Florida team works directly with nationally recognized testing facilities and can provide mold inspection, laboratory analysis, and written remediation plans. We locate and eliminate the causes of mold and implement effective processes to prevent future mold growth.
-
Isolation and Containment
To stop the spread of mold we use a variety of containment strategies including infrared detection technology, physical barriers, and anti-microbial agents to protect your home from future growth while we prepare a report for your insurance company and discuss your options for moving forward.
-
Air Filtration
Disturbed mold spores will become airborne. Airborne mold spores often lead to cross-contamination and escalate any situation. ServiceMaster by Wright uses HEPA filtration, negative air machines, plastic sheeting and other techniques to contain the area.
-
Mold Removal
After containment is in place, the mold damaged materials are removed. Often this includes the removal of porous materials such as drywall, upholstered furniture, carpeting, insulation, cabinets, etc. Our team uses HEPA vacuums, antimicrobial agents and high-tech equipment to completely remove mold.

Dry wet areas immediately
Mold can't grow without moisture, so tackle wet areas right away. Seepage into the basement after a heavy rainfall, accumulation from a leaky pipe, even a spill on the carpet should be dried within 24 to 48 hours. If you've experienced a flood, remove water-damaged carpets, bedding, and furniture if they can't be completely dried. Even everyday occurrences need attention: don't leave wet items lying around the house, and make sure to dry the floor and walls after a shower. Don't leave wet clothes in the washing machine, where mold can spread quickly. Hang them to dry — preferably outside or in areas with good air circulation.
Prevent moisture with proper ventilation
It may be that your routine domestic activities are encouraging the growth of mold in your home. Make sure an activity as simple as cooking dinner, taking a shower, or doing a load of laundry doesn't invite mold by providing proper ventilation in your bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and any other high-moisture area.
Monitor humidity indoors
The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity between 30 and 60 percent. You can measure humidity with a moisture meter purchased from your local hardware store.
