Commercial Mold Tips after a Flood

3/23/2020 (Permalink)

If your commercial building has recently experienced flooding due to storm damage or some sort of plumbing issues, you might not be clear on what your next steps should be. You want to limit the damage to your business and extended water can bring mold. This can affect indoor air quality, can cause significant property damage and can cause a foul smell that even the best deodorization techniques can't get rid of!

Follow these tips if you're dealing with residential or commercial mold. 

Get Rid of Moisture

This is the very first step! Before the mold can be properly addressed, as much moisture as possible needs to be removed. If there is standing water, it can be dangerous to walk into your home or commercial property, so please make sure you can safely enter the building or structure.  

Protect Yourself 

You just never really know what can be floating around in standing water that can hurt you. For example, electrical wiring. You don't want to endure an electrical shock. Once you know you can safely enter, PROTECT YOURSELF by wearing protective clothing, such as gloves and a face mask. 

Hire a Professional

The best thing you can do is leave it to the experts. Rely on a team of professionals to help get your home or business back in tip-top shape. Experts can come in and assess the true extent of the damage and help ensure all of the molds are properly remediated. We promise it could save you a lot of time, money and headaches in the future.
