News: Daytona Beach and Other Beach Community Residents in Florida Fight Black Mold

Residents and businesses in Ormond Beach and the Palm Coast communities, as well as New Smyrna Beach, and Daytona Beach all experience extreme humidity. Which means they are also all perfect targets for mold.  Any building that does not control indoor humidity to below 60% is guaranteed to have some mold growth.  With near 100% humidity, the likelihood of that happening is high.  And the health impacts are guaranteed.  Anywhere from being imperceptible to life-threatening.  Home Health companies and Assisted Living Centers that work with aging adults and other-wise immunocompromised patients need to be especially vigilant. Schools with hundreds or thousands of children also need to cleanse their buildings, as the odds that there is mold and that some of the students may have an adverse reaction are high. Anybody that has ever experienced a chronic sinus infection almost assuredly has mold spores and mycotoxins at the root of that infection. Increasingly aggravated asthma, and simply feeling run down are also signs.  But the bottom line is this... If your home, in its lifetime, has ever had mold, and your health does not feel like it is where it should be, then it is time for an air-quality test.  Mold may not be the primary cause, but it unquestionably, at the right levels will have an impact.

Unless you know the full history of your home, you need to do a full home cleanse. Mold spores and humidity will get behind walls, and if there is poor ventilation between studs, for example, mold will grow. In the event of something more extreme, such as a pin-hole leak in a pipe, or condensation in a crawlspace under your home walls or compromised roofs leading to minor leaks into your attic; these are all sources of mildew and mold growth of all kind.

Live slightly further inland in Deltona, Florida, or north of there in De Leon Springs or perhaps in DeLand?  In any of thee communities, or really anywhere throughout the state of Florida needs to be aware of mold growth. You need to look no further than the articles below.
