It has been over a year since Irma landed here in Southwest Florida. Slab-2-Shingles is seeing a lot of mold issues caused from small amounts of water getting into the home. In most cases this water has been unnoticed and/or untreated for over a year, therefore, creating the perfect conditions for mold spores to form.
Mold is in the air! There is always mold in the air. It is almost impossible to have a 100% spore free test result. It is only in high concentrations that the mold spores become harmful. Your home only needs the water to get onto the organic material like drywall or wood beams. Once the moisture collects, the combination of poor ventilation and high humidity create the perfect environment.
The high winds from Irma forced water into a lot of homes. Even if your roof does not have an active leak water may have gotten into your home. The winds where so strong and carried large amounts of water. Our inspectors are seeing more and more cases of water in walls and attics. These are homes that did not show any signs of an active leak. When their roof is inspected the inspectors see signs where water has entered the home.
