Our Mold Restoration Services in Tampa
While you may love the soft, sultry climate in Tampa, so do several kinds of mold. The hot, humid summers provide the ideal conditions for mold to thrive.
Why is Mold a Big Deal?
Mold growth compromises the structural integrity of your home or business premises and poses serious health risks.
On the property side, it can be inconvenient and costly to eradicate mold and replace mold-damaged materials.
On the health side, mold can exacerbate respiratory problems and allergies and cause many other conditions, such as a weakened immune system, skin problems, fungal infections, lung conditions, cystic fibrosis, and more.
There are always some mold spores in the air we breathe, but it becomes a more serious concern in higher quantities.
How and Where Mold Develops
Mold thrives in moist environments. This makes bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and attics particularly susceptible to infestation.
Common causes of mold growth include water leaks, plumbing issues, flooding, poor ventilation, or too much indoor humidity.
If left unchecked, mold can spread rapidly, causing damage to walls, ceilings, flooring, and other surfaces, as well as triggering health issues.
Common Signs of Mold
There are a few signs to look for when it comes to mold in your home or business premises. Sometimes it may be quite obvious, and other times the signs are more subtle. Keep an eye out for:
- Watermarks, discoloration, or water damage on your ceiling, internal walls, or carpeting
- Watery stains, damage, or discoloration on external walls
- Visible growth of mold
- Areas where there is standing water
- Condensation on walls, floors, or window sills
- A musty smell
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to take action right away.
Signs Your Health Is Being Impacted By Mold
If mold—especially black mold—is affecting your health, you may notice a range of symptoms.
You may have a cough, congestion, irritated eyes, or skin allergies. You may also notice you have trouble remembering things, get confused easily, or that you can’t concentrate well or for long. You may even experience anxiety or depression.
Get assistance from your doctor and a mold removal specialist like Dry Out Daddy immediately if you have any of these issues.
How to Prevent Mold
While Tampa is predisposed to mold, there are some simple things you can do to help prevent it.
Make sure your home is well ventilated and that there are no water leaks. Using an air conditioner, especially in the summer, can go a long way. You can also use detergent solutions to clean any areas you suspect may be at risk of mold.
However, sometimes the problem is beyond do-it-yourself management. Perhaps you’ve bought a new home with an existing mold problem, experienced a roof leak or flooding after a storm, or a corner of mold has gone unnoticed for some time. That’s where Dry Out Daddy comes in.

Inspection
First, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection to identify the type of mold in your home and the extent of the damage. The best way to find out what kind of mold you have is to conduct a third-party mold test. This is done by having an independent, licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC) or industrial hygienist take and examine samples from the areas where you suspect there is mold. A visual test can also be done, but it’s more accurate to take samples.

Containment
Once we know the kind of mold is present and how much damage it has done, it must be stopped from spreading further.
The affected area is sealed off using plastic sheeting, and the nearby vents and doors are closed off or covered.
Then, we create negative air pressure with specialized equipment to prevent mold-contaminated air from getting out.

Removal
If materials have been significantly affected by mold, they may need to be removed altogether. This may include your carpeting, insulation, or drywall. The materials removed will need to be disposed of properly.
We will wrap them in plastic and transport them to the designated waste-removal site.
Fortunately, a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA)-filtered vacuum and a botanical-based cleaning solution can remove mold from some hard surfaces, such as concrete or metal.

Air Filtration & Drying
When the affected materials are removed, it’s important to ensure no spores are left floating in the air.
We use HEPA-filtered air purifiers to remove any spores from the area. Then, the space undergoes a thorough drying process using fans and humidifiers to prevent the mold from growing back.

Testing & Monitoring
Once the mold has been removed, disposed of, and the space thoroughly cleaned and dried, it’s crucial to monitor the affected area.
A third-party expert will again take samples to check if mold levels are safe. This may need to be done periodically to ensure any signs of moisture and returning mold are caught early and can be dealt with properly.
