Mold can start to grow on a damp surface within 24 hours

With all of this rain in the forecast, businesses may need to take care of water coming into their commercial properties. It’s important to act fast with water damage to avoid mold. Mold can start to grow on a damp surface within 24 to 48 hours. Not only is it unsanitary and unsafe for you and your customers, but it can also ruin equipment in your building and even cause structural damage. If you have water removed from your property and suspect that there may be mold, it’s important to act fast.

Visible mold has a distinct appearance, but just because you don’t see mold doesn’t mean it’s not there. If you notice a strong, musty odor that may indicate that there is mold behind your walls or in your carpet. If you detect or suspect mold on your commercial property it’s important to avoid the affected areas and turn off your HVAC system and fans, then call the professionals to remove it.

Since mold is a fungus that goes under and into a material's surface, it is difficult to completely remove without professional products and expertise. SERVPRO has the expertise, products, and experience to remediate and remove any mold at your commercial property and get you back in business “Like it never even happened.”
