Preventing Mold

4/7/2021 (Permalink)

Nobody wants mold in their home or business and a mold problem can be tricky to foresee. There are many places this common fungus likes to hide, and sometimes you don’t know mold growth is happening until it is a big enough problem to require professional remediation. There are a few things you can do to head it off at the pass, though. Mold prevention involves knowing the kind of environment mold likes and eliminating as many such environments as possible.

A Mold-Friendly Climate

Mold is always present, but it requires specific circumstances to settle and grow. There are four main criteria needed for rapid mold growth:

• Moisture

• Darkness

• Organic material

• Surface to grow on

Besides causing a major business interruption, a mold problem can present a serious health risk for people exposed at your commercial property. Mold infestations can be caused by minor water intrusions, like a slow roof leak or loose plumbing fitting. Every hour spent cleaning up is an hour of lost revenue and productivity. If you suspect your property has a mold problem, call SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro, who will respond quickly and work fast to manage the situation.
