Identifying mold problems in your business or commercial facility means being on the lookout for often invisible clues. Your facility staff should be educated on awareness and signs.
Your employees may not give a second thought to water stains on a ceiling or walls, but the damage may reach further than just that unsightly spot. That discoloration means that moisture from condensation or a leaky pipe has already caused a problem. Here is how to identify the warning signs of mold:
1. Look for discoloration, staining, leaks, bubbling paint, lifting wallpaper, and areas of high moisture or humidity.
2. Investigate areas that smell musty or like mildew. That is a good indicator of the presence of mold spores.
3. Communicate with your staff about persistent health effects or complaints about indoor air quality.
4. Call a professional asSERVPRO offers free inspections to help identify if you have a problem.
