Mold On Drywall and Sheetrock
Do you have mold growing on the drywall of your apartment, condo, house, office, or building? If so, you should know any mold growth larger than 10 sq. Ft is supposed to be handled by a state certified Florida Mold remediation company. As mold is considered hazardous, it should be handled by experienced professionals that implement proactive measures to safeguard themselves and those around the project site.
Is Mold Growing on Your Drywall?
Mold can often hide in plain sight, growing behind walls, on drywall, or on sheetrock in apartments, condos, homes, offices, and commercial buildings. What may start as a small spot can quickly spread if moisture is present, creating structural damage and potential health risks.
Drywall is especially vulnerable to mold because it contains cellulose, which provides a food source for mold spores when combined with moisture from leaks, floods, or high humidity.
Why Mold on Drywall is a Serious Issue
- Health Hazards: Mold exposure can trigger allergies, asthma attacks, skin irritation, respiratory issues, and other health problems.
- Structural Damage: Mold can weaken drywall, compromise insulation, and damage wall studs over time.
- Rapid Spread: Mold spores are airborne and can spread to other areas if not contained properly.
Professional Mold Removal for Drywall
In Florida, any mold growth larger than 10 sq. ft. is required by law to be handled by a state-certified mold remediation company. Professional mold specialists will:
- Inspect & Identify – Locate mold growth behind drywall or sheetrock using moisture meters, infrared cameras, and air sampling.
- Contain & Remove – Safely remove contaminated drywall, prevent spore spread, and implement proper disposal methods.
- Clean & Treat – Treat affected areas with EPA-approved antimicrobial solutions to eliminate mold spores.
