Certified Technicians Quickly Remediate a Mold Infestation in Your Storage Business

Mold damage in a storage facility can go unnoticed for a long time. If you are not vigilant, it is easy to miss the early signs of the damage and soon, it gets out of hand. Mold can not only ruin your facility but damage your customers' contents costing you thousands in damages.

Thankfully, you can do a lot to prevent commercial mold damage in Miami from ruining your storage facility. If you are proactive and pay attention to the early signs, you can save yourself much trouble.

Control the moisture levels

Moisture can severely and irreparably damage your customers' contents in the storage units. Furniture, cartons, artwork, and clothes can be quickly ruined. Furthermore, it is the most critical factor that causes mold growth. Storage facilities are not exactly known for their exceptional ventilation, and it can be challenging to get rid of the moisture from them. If you have a leaky roof or a busted pipe in your facility, the lack of free air movement can lead to high local moisture content.

Spores love this high moisture content and quickly germinate to form mold colonies in no time. The best way to avoid it is to check your facility for leaks and drips on a regular basis. Professionals here at SERVPRO can also help you determine the moisture levels in your facility and suggest methods to get them under control.

Do not ignore any amount of mold

Ignoring mold, especially if there are only a few colonies can be quite tempting. However, before you know it, they can spread throughout your facility and ruin it. If it remains unchecked, the mold can spread quickly to your customers' contents destroying them in the process. Make sure that you are seeking professional help as soon as you spot, smell or even suspect mold growth. Our IICRC certified SERVPRO professionals use state-of-the-art equipment to remedy the problem before it gets out of hand.

Perform regular inspections

The best way to prevent mold damage from turning into a disaster is to perform regular inspections. Look for the signs of mold damage often and as thoroughly as you can. The best chance of getting the damage restored is when the professionals can reach the earliest stage.
