One of the most dangerous disasters a business can experience is the growth of mold. There are many varieties and cleaning it yourself will often not be enough to completely rid your facility of the problem, not to mention it would expose you and your staff to the hazard.

Mold can stem from even a small water leak. This means every commercial business is at risk and could experience a serious business interruption. If your facility is operated out of a structure that is a bit older, you are potentially at more risk, especially if things like the plumbing haven’t been professionally updated or checked recently.

Another factor for mold growth is humidity, a common part of weather in Memphis. Without proper regular cleaning done by professionals, it’s likely that at some point you may have an issue with mold in your business. One piece of your facility that can make a big difference when dealing with humidity is the ventilation system. Making sure that your ventilation system is updated and serviced regularly can help to combat some of the issues caused by Tennessee humidity.

Mold loves to grow in damp and dark places, so when checking your facility, look for places where the ventilation is poor, moisture can collect, and that may not get much light. Be sure to check these places often to catch any new mold growth before it requires shutting your business down for remediation.
