Commercial Mold Remediation—Protect Your Business Today

Why Mold Is a Serious Problem for Businesses

Mold presents unique risks and dangers for any workplace. It can cause respiratory health issues and eat away at materials, leading to structural damage. But mold is such a big issue in part because of how quietly it impacts businesses. It doesn’t announce itself as a high-priority disaster, and that can lead to a slow bleed of health and resources if left unaddressed.

The other issue is that some business owners try to fix the symptoms and not the cause. For example, 30% of all mold removal requests we receive are the result of water damage, which needs to be assessed and handled properly to avoid future contamination and growth. This speaks to the difference between removal and remediation.

What’s the Difference Between Mold Removal and Remediation?

Mold removal and mold remediation are not exactly the same thing.

• Mold removal addresses the mold itself without necessarily addressing its source or what it has contaminated.
• Mold remediation is a larger, comprehensive process, of which removal is just one part. Remediation also includes testing, addressing the mold source, sanitation, containment, and cleanup.

At ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons, we’re skilled mold removal experts who also handle your larger remediation needs for the health of your business.

Signs You Need Professional Mold Remediation

Did you know that mold can grow in as little as two days when excessive moisture is present? As it spreads, you might notice the signs within your business in two ways: 1) your physical structure and 2) physical symptoms.

Structural Signs of Mold

• Dark, discolored patches on walls, ceilings, windows, or furniture
• Musty odors

Symptoms of Mold Exposure

• Cold and flu-like symptoms
• Asthma
• Wheezing and difficulty breathing
• Rashes and dry skin
• Headaches and dizziness

When it’s clear that mold is present–again, usually as the result of unaddressed water damage—you need to call a professional.
