If you suspect there may be mold in your commercial space, this list can help you figure out whether you need to take action or pursue commercial mold remediation. Here are 10 important facts about mold:
- Exposure to mold can negatively impact your health, especially if you suffer from asthma, allergies or any other respiratory problems. Mold can trigger asthma attacks and cause allergic reactions, especially if exposure is prolonged or intense. Exposure to large quantities of mold can cause severe reactions such as fever, shortness of breath and infections in the lungs.
- It is virtually impossible to completely remove mold and mold spores from a building. Instead, you must fight mold by controlling moisture sources.
- Mold can grow almost anywhere if moisture is present. Common habitats for mold include food, paper, fabric, wood, carpet, tile, stone and drywall.
- The two crucial components of a successful approach to dealing with mold are cleaning up the mold itself and reducing moisture in the building. If the mold is caused by a leak or water problem, it must be fixed.
- Use water and detergent to remove mold from hard surfaces. Absorbent materials with mold growth need to be replaced.
- To prevent and reduce mold growth, the humidity level inside your building should be between 30 and 60 percent. To reduce humidity: improve ventilation, vent bathrooms and laundry rooms to the outdoors, and use an exhaust fan whenever you cook, clean or wash dishes.
- For severe humidity problems, try using a dehumidifier.
- Add insulation to prevent water from condensing on cold surfaces.
- Wet building materials and furnishings must be cleaned and dried within 24 to 48 hours.
- Remove or do not install carpet in perpetually damp areas.
