To ensure your business is safe, it is essential to identify warehouse mold early and know when to call in professionals. Therefore, we put together the following blog post for any warehouse owner or employee wondering if they have warehouse mold damage.

We will discuss three easy ways to identify warehouse mold and will also talk about why you will want to call SERVPRO for mold remediation services when you suspect that your warehouse has been affected by mold.

Why warehouses are great environments for mold growth?

Warehouses can be an excellent environment for mold growth for a few reasons:

1. Warehouses are often dark and damp, the perfect environment for mold to grow.
2. Warehouses often have a lot of stored material, providing the ideal food source for mold.
3. Warehouses often have poor air circulation, allowing mold spores to spread quickly.

The three signs of a warehouse mold issue 

In most cases, a warehouse mold issue will be easy to detect. If you believe that there is a mold issue, you should contact a mold inspector to come out and perform a mold test to confirm the presence of mold. However, there may be clear indications of a mold issue even before performing a mold test.

The three most common signs that you have a warehouse mold issue are as follows:

1) Visible Mold: If you can see mold growing on your warehouse walls or ceilings, then you have a severe problem. Mold should be cleaned up and removed as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading.

2) Odor: A musty, earthy smell is often a sign of mold. If you smell a funky odor in your warehouse, it's essential to investigate further to see if there is a mold issue.

3) Untreated water damage: Untreated water damage often leads to a mold issue. Therefore, if you have water damage in your warehouse, it's essential to get it restored and dried out as soon as possible to prevent mold growth.

To truly understand the extent of the warehouse mold damages, we suggest that you contact a professional environmental consultant to come out and perform a mold test. If the environmental consultant confirms that there is a mold issue in your warehouse, SERVPRO of South Cobb can help clean up and remove the mold from your property.
