Why mold is a problem in Estero

Many Estero homes and condos sit empty for part of the year. If the AC is switched off, set too high or fails while the owner is away, indoor humidity can climb well above 60%, the level the EPA recommends staying below. That’s when mold appears on walls, closets, furniture and clothing.

During Hurricane Ian, the Estero River overflowed and flooded homes in nearby neighborhoods. Flood-damaged homes that were dried too quickly or rebuilt in a rush can still have mold behind the walls.
