This year, Miami mold specialists went to new levels, employing the use of drones as part of their mold identification and eradication tactics. Will NYC mold treatment be next to follow this trend?

What’s Up with Drone Mold Identification Tactics?
Inspection drone technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, thanks in-part to applications in energy, construction, infrastructure and mining. The latest tech? Infrared inspection, offered by Miami Mold Specialists. With the help of drones, the new systems helps mold specialists map buildings for multiple kinds of moisture damage, from that caused by excess humidity, to damage from wind, water and leaks, identifying potential mold ‘hot spots’ and addressing problem areas more efficiently.

Infrared Detection of Water Damage
Because mold spores cannot be completely eliminated, moisture reduction is critical to controlling mold growth. However moisture and leaks, hidden behind walls, floors and ceilings, can be impossible to detect until serious damage occurs. Infrared photography goes ‘behind the scenes,’ using sophisticated infrared sensors to measure the temperatures of any surface within its image area, identifying changes in temperature that point to potential moisture issues.

A Cheaper, Less-Dangerous Way to Check for Mold Issues
Unmanned drones can fit into tighter, more treacherous spaces than mere mortals, and aren’t affected by exposure to toxic spores. With weather-related disasters on-the-rise, this service may prove to be in as high-demand nationwide as it is in Miami post-hurricane-Irma, though only a handful of South Florida mold inspection and remediation companies offer it at this time.
