UES Mold Prevention Solutions

Ultimate Environmental Solutions provides solutions to improve your indoor air quality and help prevent further damage to your home.

How to prevent mold in a Florida home

Mold needs moisture. After we identify and document the problem, these are the categories of solutions we most often recommend to keep humidity, contaminants and odors under control for the long term.

Air purification systems

Conventional filtration is effective against particulates like dust, but it has no effect on odors, volatile organic compounds, mold or germs. A variety of whole-home air purification systems work with your existing HVAC system to address those contaminants.

HVAC probiotics

Environmental probiotics offer a novel approach to proactively addressing air quality concerns. Environmental probiotic systems tap into a facility's existing HVAC systems and air ducts for continuous and periodic cleaning. The systems are customizable and programmable, with models for building sizes from a small apartment to a skyscraper.

Whole-home dehumidifiers

Whole-house dehumidifiers are a low-maintenance way to keep your entire home dry, healthy and comfortable. Excess moisture can infiltrate your entire home: you might feel hot and sticky indoors, have pest problems, see mold and mildew growth, and develop allergy symptoms. Portable or connected inline with your HVAC system, a whole-house dehumidifier helps maintain a healthy humidity level in every room.

Moisture control and maintenance

Fix leaks promptly, run bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans, keep AC drain lines clear, insulate cold supply registers, and schedule routine HVAC maintenance. Every UES report includes a preventative maintenance checklist tailored to your property.

Prevention questions

What indoor humidity prevents mold in Florida?

Keep indoor relative humidity below 60 percent, ideally between 30 and 50 percent. In Florida that usually means a properly sized air conditioner that runs long enough to dehumidify, plus supplemental dehumidification in closed-up homes or humid seasons.

Does an air purifier prevent mold?

Filtration captures airborne spores and particulates but does nothing about the moisture that lets mold grow. Fix moisture first, then use filtration to improve air quality. An assessment tells you which problem you actually have.

Does UES sell or install these products?

No. UES is an independent assessment company. We recommend categories of solutions based on your data and you choose the vendor. That independence is why our recommendations can be trusted.

Not sure which solution you need?

Start with data. An independent assessment tells you what is actually in your air and where the moisture is coming from.
