Why mold is a problem in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres sits on low, flat land crossed by drainage canals. During the summer rainy season and tropical storms, water can sit in yards and along roads, raising humidity around homes and finding its way under doors and into garages.
The community has a large number of rental homes and homes that change hands often. Homes that sit empty between tenants or owners, with the AC off or set high, are prime spots for mold.
Newer homes are tightly sealed for energy efficiency. That’s good for power bills, but it also means moisture from cooking, showers and AC problems has fewer ways out.

Do you cover all of Lehigh Acres?

Can new homes get mold?
Yes. Tightly sealed homes can trap moisture, and construction defects like roof or window leaks show up in the first few years.
Should I test a rental home for mold between tenants?
It’s a good idea if there’s a musty smell, a past leak or visible spots. It gives you a clean record before the next lease starts.
Does flooding in Lehigh Acres cause mold?
Standing water near the home raises humidity and can enter garages and lower walls. Any water that gets inside should be dried within 24 to 48 hours.
