Captiva Island Molds reproduce by launching very tiny mold spores into the air
Captiva Island Molds reproduce by launching very tiny mold spores (seeds) into the air. Captiva Island Mold spores can be as small as .05 microns and they are very aerodynamic. Normal breezes and air movement keep spore in the air for long periods of time. But… when the Captiva Island mold spores land on a damp spot or wet material indoors they may begin to grow. Southwest Florida Mold’s favorite foods are wood and paper. Our home have lots of wood, in structural, furnishings and trim materials; and paper as the covering on drywall and wall paper. So when Southwest Florida mold begins to grow on wood product surfaces in our homes it is literally eating and digesting these materials.
When moisture or high humidity exists in a home, particularly if the problem is undiscovered or not addressed, Captiva Island mold growth can occur.
There is no practical way to keep Captiva Island mold spores from entering your home. Every time you open a door or window spores blow in to your home. The only way to prevent and control Central Florida mold growth from occurring in your indoor environment is to control the humidity in your indoor air.
The process of cooling your home with an air conditioning unit will normally keep the humidity in your home below 55%. Also air movement from the A/C unit and ceiling fans will help to discourage Captiva Island mold spores from landing and will create evaporation of surface moisture. You can also keep moisture out of your home by caulking any cracks and places where moist outside air might leak inside and bring higher humidity and condensation. Keep you’re A/C evaporator drain line clear to prevent drain pan leaks on your ceilings. Have you’re A/C technician check your supply ducts, especially flex duct, for small air leaks. This cool air will cause condensation when it contacts the warm moist air in your attic space. This may cause moisture to wet the back of your ceiling drywall. Replace worn sweeps on exterior doors to prevent warm moist air from entering. Inspect the weep holes in your windows to insure that rain water can drain to the outside. Insulate any piping exposed to the inside environment (toilets and under sinks) to prevent condensation. Be sure your dryer and bath exhaust fans are vented to the outside. Not to the attic space.

People often report condensation on the inside of their windows in the winter. When you see this condensation occur wipe the moisture with a towel. Remember that when we have to use the heater capacity of or A/C system the system is not dehumidifying the indoor air. During these times we either should run our A/C unit or provide another source of dehumidification. A room dehumidifier will help and running ceiling fans will also provide evaporation. These moisture control measures will help you prevent Captiva Island mold growth in your home.
