Fall is a preferred season for many, especially for businesses, as traffic picks up during the holiday season. To ensure you are prepared for the uptick in customers or production, keep your facilities safe from harmful mold and mildew growth. Higher humidity and moisture content, common in the fall season, could spell disaster for your business unless you take proactive approaches. 

Preventative Steps to Protect Your Investment 

This fall, take some practical approaches to limit the threats of mold development in your facilities. Some of the common steps include: 

Humidity Control  

Moisture is your most significant enemy when it comes to finding a solution against the possibility of mold growth. Humid conditions inside create an attractive environment for mold development, so it might be beneficial to consider the permanent or temporary installation of moisture control devices like dehumidifiers in problem areas. 

Fixing Leaks or Water Penetration 

While high relative humidity is a severe concern, unrepaired leaks or vulnerabilities in your building’s envelope can be even worse for welcoming mold damage. If you suspect water loss in your building, you can use thermal imagery to check for damp pockets in the wall systems.  

Ventilate the Building  

Similar to installing and using dehumidifiers, proper ventilation can also be a crucial approach to managing humidity and moisture concerns within your building. Ventilation fans are a solid defense to exhaust humid air outside the structure.  

Use Mold Inhibiting Products  

Consider some mold-inhibiting products when remodeling or upgrading portions of your facility or just giving certain areas a facelift. Paints and certain drywalls are chemically enhanced to make them less likely to support mold colonies, which can pay off when your business faces water damage. 

Keep Your HVAC System Clean  

Mold can become a real threat within air ducts and your HVAC system. Moisture trapped in this circulating airfield can lead to ideal conditions for mold development where you cannot see the threats. AdvantaClean can help with a thorough air duct inspection and cleaning when you feel servicing could benefit your business.
