Protect Your Business From Mold

Save yourself the headache!

With the weather beginning to warm up, mold will inevitably become an issue for many business owners in Fairfield County around this time.  Every year, moisture that was frozen before has thawed, and is now a perfect condition for mold growth.  Not only can it cause health effects, but it can pose an issue for the structure of your building.  But you can try to prevent this growth by following some simple tips.

Maintain Air Filters

Having your HVAC system cleaned regularly can go a long way to preventing potential mold growth.  Cleaning the vents, drainage pans, and hoses out will keep them from allowing mold to develop.

Limit Moisture

Keep your business dry as much as possible. If moisture is a known issue, you can run a dehumidifier.  If your business is ventilated by an air system, keep that running to cycle out any moisture.  Make sure that any structural leaks are sealed immediately.

Clean Your Carpets

Many people do not consider carpets to be a potential contributor to mold growth.  But carpets and padding are very porous, which can harbor mold spores.  If moisture is present, the mold spores can grow quickly and cause issues.  Have your carpets cleaned regularly by a professional cleaning company.
