Mold growing in your commercial property can be stressful! Call SERVPRO at (484) 841-6669 so we can help!

This past year West Chester and Southern Delaware County fell victim to multiple hurricanes, and some areas had severe flooding. Unfortunately, this can lead to the growth of mold, which can cause a major business interruption and serious health effects for anyone exposed at your commercial property. Mold can grow quickly in wet conditions, but SERVPRO is here to cut it off at its source.

In order to prevent mold in your business:

• You should clean up leaks right away.
• Make sure to install proper ventilation – especially in rooms with a lot of moisture in the air, such as bathroom, kitchens, and laundry facilities.
• If a room is temporarily damp, you can use freestanding fans to blow humidity away from the area.
• Monitor your humidity level – it’s easy to get inexpensive monitors.
• Remove affected items such as furniture and rugs as quickly as possible to avoid the spread of mold spores.

Do not attempt to use bleach or store-bought products yourself, as these products still create additional water and moisture, which will only cause the mold to continue growing. It is best to leave this to the professionals – and we are ready to help!

If there is already mold in your business, call SERVPRO of Southern Delaware County & West Chester! (484) 841-6669
