Does Your Commercial Building Smell Musty?

Mold found in a storage room.

Commercial buildings can be at an even higher risk of developing mold issues than residential buildings.

It is difficult to regulate the amount of moisture in larger buildings. There are also more opportunities for mold to grow. For instance, mold can be found in buildings on paper, textiles, and building materials. Also there is a significant larger amount of HVAC ducts in commercial buildings known to be one of the worst places for mold to form.

Does your building have ongoing moisture problems due to water intrusion, long-standing leaks, roof damage, or from poor humidity control? 

Look for these following factors of potential mold growth:

• The presence of visible mold.
• Strong musty odors which may indicate mold is present.

Local Convenience Store suffers major damage after cooler fails in Wadena, MN.

Removed commercial cooler exposes undiscovered leak that created major mold contamination.

SERVPRO of Brainerd and Park Rapids can help should this happen to your business. Our trained Franchise Professionals are equipped with the equipment and knowledge to protect the rest of your structure.

While any intrusion of water into your business can result in mold growth, undiscovered intrusions can result in increased risk of harmful mold growth.

Suspect Mold at your Wadena business?

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from home or business.  Some restoration businesses advertise "mold removal" and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy.

Consider the following facts:

Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or HVAC systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.

Mold spores thrive on moisture.  Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.  These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.  When left undetected, these colonies can cause substantial damage to your facility.

Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed.  Otherwise, the mold may return.

Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.

Should you suspect or see mold give us a call at 218-568-6923.
