Commercial Mold Cleanup in Enfield
7/2/2021 (Permalink)
Your Enfield commercial building can become infested with mold in a number of ways. All it takes is moisture plus some time, and the mold spores that are naturally floating around in the air can find a place to grow!
How can you prevent a mold problem? And if your building already has mold, how can you get rid of it?
Preventing Mold in Your Enfield Commercial Building
The primary way to prevent mold from growing in your office, factory, restaurant, hotel, retail shop or warehouse is to keep water out. No water = no mold.
- Routinely check your facility for leaks (especially from the roof, around windows, near pipes and vents, and close to water fixtures). Clean up and repair any leaks ASAP.
- Periodically check the humidity in your building. Even a too-high level of humidity can cause mold to grow.
- If employees or customers report a mildewy odor, look into it.
- If you have a flood in your building, get the water cleaned up and building materials, furnishings and items completely dried out within 48 hours—or call a professional water damage restoration company like SERVPRO.
Getting Rid of Mold
If you discover a mold infestation in your place of business, the most important thing is not to ignore it. You can try to tackle the problem yourself, but mold issues have a way of persisting. You think you can dry out the area yourself and simply wipe away the mold, but mold is a stubborn foe.
Here at SERVPRO of Bloomfield/Enfield, we are highly skilled at mold removal. We have the sophisticated training, the proven procedures, the equipment (like air movers, commercial dehumidifiers and moisture meters) and the experience to eradicate your mold infestation the first time.
These are the steps we recommend you take (and not take!) once you discover a mold problem at your Enfield commercial facility:
What not to do:
- Don’t touch or disturb the mold.
- Don’t blow air across any surfaces that has visible or suspected mold.
- Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself.
- Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold.
What to do:
- Stay out of the affected areas.
- Turn off your HVAC system and fans.
- Contact SERVPRO of Bloomfield/Enfield for mold remediation services.
