What makes mold different in Punta Gorda
Canal and harbor flooding
Homes along canals and Charlotte Harbor can take surge water at the slab. Wet walls need quick drying to avoid hidden growth.
Repairs from past storms
Older repairs sometimes left damp materials behind. Mold shows up years later as odor or staining near old patched areas.
Historic homes
Older wood-frame homes have original plumbing and limited ventilation. Slow leaks and humid attics are the usual starting points.
