Mold can be one of the most dangerous and frustrating threats your business may deal with. Because mold contamination can potentially lead to serious health problems and structural issues, it’s important to completely stop its presence when discovered on your property.

What Are the Most Common Signs of Mold Damage?
Coming in a wide variety of forms, the presence of mold can be visually detected as black-, purple-, or orange-colored patches on surfaces. When mold settles in and begins to multiply, its spores can become airborne and travel throughout your property. In small quantities, mold spores are not harmful – however, when these mold spores find organic material that supports their growth, spores attach to the surface and begin to propagate.
As the quantity of these airborne spores increases, the likelihood that the fungus enters your body through your lungs increases. A serious mold invasion will dramatically affect the overall air quality and could eventually cause your employees or clients to become seriously ill. In severe cases, you may have to close your doors until the problem is resolved.
That being said, mold damage can be hidden and often goes undetected. If you have had any of the following issues recently, your business could be at risk for mold damage:
- Discoloration or water stains on walls or ceilings
- Flooding or water damage
- Leaks in or around the building
- Musty or damp-smelling odors in the building
Structural Mold Damage to Your Business Property
Mold growth has the capacity to cause massive structural damage to the materials they grow on throughout your property. Some of the most common areas to observe mold growth and infestation are:
- Foundations
- Roofs
- Gutters
- HVAC systems
- Drywall
- Fencing
- Furnishings
- And more
How to Prevent Mold Growth
- Add exhaust fans to your cleaning equipment to speed up the drying process after using lots of water or liquid cleaners.
- Instead of dusting or vacuuming, wipe down surfaces to pick up more mold spores.
- Wipe up any condensation around poorly insulated doors and windows to prevent the start of mold from traveling along with the window frame or wallboards.
- Cleaning products that use bleach or baking soda are effective ways to stop mold growth before it begins.
- While it is important to mop, it’s important to understand that reusable mop heads can become traps for mold and may spread it through repeated uses. Therefore, thoroughly wash, sanitize, and dry mop heads between uses to prevent the buildup of mold between the strings of the mop.
- Using a UV light can kill mold in an unoccupied room. However, be sure to not use it in a space where there are plants or animals.
- Sanitize the gutters and drains inside and outside your property with an annual or seasonal treatment to minimize the amount of accumulated mold.
