Signs Your Business Might Have a Mold Problem

Mold can be a major problem for your business. In addition to disrupting your employees’ productivity and potentially causing health effects, active mold growth can destroy your building, furniture, and more. Many business owners respond to mold once they’ve identified it on their property, but how do you know if you have mold? There are a few signs to look out for.

  1. You can actually see mold. One of the most obvious signs you have a mold problem is that you can actually see it. In fact, once you’ve spotted it, testing usually isn’t necessary; you simply need to contact a mold remediation company.

  1. You notice a musty smell. Mold doesn’t always grow in visible places, such as under the sink or inside your HVAC system. It does, however, give off a musty smell. If you detect the odor in your business, it’s best to have a professional test your business for mold.

  1. Your business recently had water damage. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours after it’s been exposed to moisture. While quick drying and an antimicrobial application can deter mold growth, water damage is often undetected or unaddressed until it’s too late. If you notice you have water damage, immediately call a disaster restoration company like us!

Mold growth can disrupt your business, but it can be addressed by a mold remediation company. Our team at SERVPRO of Alexander & Caldwell Counties has remediated hundreds of mold-affected homes and businesses since 2009. If your business has mold, you can call us anytime at (828) 396-1070!
