Remove Mold from Your Manchester Business

You don’t have to have a major flooding event at your East Hartford business to end up with a major mold problem. That’s the deal with mold: all it needs is a little moisture and it can grow without you knowing about it. Then, you can be left with a persistent and treatment-resistant mold infestation. And when mold spores grow into colonies, they can produce allergens and irritants, affecting your employees’ and customers’ health. You don’t need that at your commercial building!

You may not see it, but mold is everywhere. Microscopic spores float through the air, both in and outside your commercial building. Once those inactive mold spores meet a water supply—and again, it doesn’t take much water—within 48 hours you could have a mold infestation.

But if there’s no moisture, there’s no mold growth. So, the first line of defense against a mold problem at your business is to eliminate sources of moisture.

Moisture + Mold = Trouble at Your Manchester Commercial Facility

While you can’t ignore a burst pipe or a flood caused by a storm, you may not even know about a dripping pipe, a leaking toilet or a little seepage from your roof. Even humidity that’s higher than normal (more than 45%) can lead to mold growth. Unfortunately, in these situations, a mold infestation has plenty of time to take root. 

One clue to a hidden mold problem in your Manchester commercial facility is the presence of a musty odor. If anyone in the building reports this, don’t ignore it—start hunting for mold. Do you have condensation in any part of your building? If so, your humidity may be too high. It’s a good idea to check your pipes, roof and water fixtures periodically for leaks and signs of moisture. Inspect your building’s ductwork and HVAC systems at regular intervals, too.

If you find any signs of mold, don’t wait to attack it. Remember, it just takes 48 hours for mold to grow in a moist environment.
