Naples, Florida Professional Mold Inspections & Homewatch

Naples Area Home Inspectors

Homes that are vacant should be monitored for water intrusion and that the HVAC (air conditioner) is functioning properly.  Mold needs food and water to grow, University of Florida tells us that humidity levels above 55% can grow mold.  AC systems often have 3 breakers, if one is tripped during a storm, humidity levels can rise inside a home, resulting in a "humidity bloom" of mold.  As mold assessors, we get alot of work every fall, because no one checked a vacant home for water intrusion or high humidity levels during the summer in Collier and Lee Counties.  Having a professional whether it is a home inspector or professional mold inspector check your home when it is vacant is only good common sense.
