Palm Bay homes are especially vulnerable to mold because humidity is the real enemy—not just water leaks.
Why Palm Bay homes struggle with humidity
Palm Bay experiences long humid seasons with minimal temperature swings. That means:
AC systems run constantly
Moist air gets trapped indoors
Condensation forms on vents, windows, and walls
When indoor humidity stays above 55–60%, mold can grow fast.
Hidden humidity sources homeowners miss
Common causes include:
Oversized AC units cooling too fast
Poor attic insulation
Blocked bathroom or kitchen vents
Leaky ductwork pulling humid air inside
These problems often go unnoticed for years.
Signs humidity is causing mold
Watch for:
Condensation on windows or vents
A damp or sticky indoor feeling
Musty odors near closets or furniture
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
These are early warnings—don’t ignore them.
How to reduce mold risk
Effective prevention includes:
Properly sized HVAC systems
Dehumidifiers when needed
Sealed ductwork
Consistent airflow throughout the home
Humidity control is mold prevention.
