Mold remediation in Palmona Park, FL

Mold in Palmona Park: the usual causes

Older Palmona Park homes hold moisture in plaster, wood framing, and crawlspaces differently than modern block homes. Past storm leaks and aging roofs are frequent mold sources.

Palmona Park is a small community in North Fort Myers, north of the Caloosahatchee. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 1,112 residents in Palmona Park. The median year of construction is about 1981, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Older housing in Palmona Park often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Know your Palmona Park property

About 34% of housing units in Palmona Park are mobile or manufactured homes, where closed-up manufactured homes trap humidity under floors and in wall cavities. Roughly 9% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; homes closed up with the AC off or set high are a common mold source. Median year built: 1981. That matters because older wall assemblies and past storm leaks give moisture more places to hide. Palmona Park is about 6 miles northwest of Fort Myers.
