Cooler mornings and pumpkin decorations on every porch can only mean one thing. Fall has arrived along the Treasure Coast.
What many homeowners in Melbourne and Vero Beach do not realize is that this time of year is ideal for mold testing. As homes stay closed up with air conditioning running, indoor air quality can shift, and hidden moisture from summer storms may still be lingering in walls, attics, or crawl spaces.
Common signs of hidden mold include:
âś” Musty odors that come and go
âś” Condensation on windows or vents
âś” Past leaks that were never professionally dried
âś” Dark spots that keep reappearing
In Florida's humid climate, moisture intrusion does not take a season off. We recently helped a family who decorated for the holidays only to notice a persistent musty smell near their guest room. Lab results confirmed elevated spore counts, giving them a clear path forward. If cleanup is ever completed by another contractor, post-remediation verification (PRV) confirms conditions have returned to normal.
