Mold & Your Business

4/24/2021 (Permalink)

As you may have already guessed, mold can present a serious hazard to your business. It can present a health hazard for both you and your employees, which results in lost work and productivity. It doesn’t matter if you’ve experienced a tiny roof leak or a massive water damage, keep reading for some tips and tricks to help you and your business avoid serious mold issues:

• Keep all flood insurance current and all documentation quickly accessible. 
• Install proper ventilation in areas that tend to accumulate a lot of steam and/or moisture. You can do this by installing fans or vents overhead. 
• Think about buying monitors that can give you simple moisture readings and alert you of any spikes. 
• Leave the cleaning to professionals and steer clear of bleach. It still has water in it, so while it may kill some of the spores, it will still add additional moisture to the area. 
• If you find any items that you suspect may have mold on them, get rid of the contaminated items as soon as possible. 
• If you suspect that you may have mold, do not hesitate to get an inspection done in your building right away.
