Mold is a very real problem in Tampa. The city’s high humidity makes it difficult for mold to be contained. Tropical storms, heavy rains, and leaky drain pipes can all lead to water damage, which can result in the growth of mold and mildew. Inadequate ventilation is another major contributor. If the problem is not detected in time, mold growth can occur within 48 hours. In addition to health concerns, mold and mildew can cause rashes, hives, and other symptoms.
