When a Shared Wall Allows Mold into Your Agoura Hills Store

7/19/2021 (Permalink)

Shared walls mean water damage next door can bring mold into your business. Inspect the shared areas often for signs of damage.

Take Care of Mold Damage Before It Becomes a Problem in Your Commercial Space

You have poured everything into your Agoura Hills retail store. Even though you work hard to keep up with everything, making sure the store itself stays clean and free of potential problems, there is always the potential for something to go wrong. You might not even realize how much your store might be at the mercy of adjacent properties before a problem has already started.

If an adjacent store or property has recently fallen victim to flooding or water damage that impacted your shared wall, moisture from this incident can also affect your location. Once the mold has started to grow uninhibited from the present water, it can be a problem that compounds and gets exponentially worse. Professional remediation services can assist you in restoring the mold damage to your Agoura Hills store, but it is imperative to act quickly.

Mold Inspections, Remediations, and Removal

Our SERVPRO specialists are thoroughly trained in mold remediation and restoration services that exceed the standards required for certification through the IICRC. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and our years of experience, the technicians we dispatch to your store can work quickly to resolve an issue like this that threatens your business.

Ideally, our goal is to mitigate your damage in profit by working quickly to remediate the mold damage in several ways. First, we have to remove the fungus's food source by drying up the water present in the affected areas. Scrubbers are used to clean the surfaces growing mold colonies to remove them entirely.

Deodorization is critical in a store because your customers may quickly note the presence of mold based on its characteristic musty scent. Often the equipment of choice for this process by our SERVPRO technicians is a fogger. The dense chemical compound can disinfect and deodorize affected surfaces, floors, and stock you have in your store. The process neutralizes odorous molecules and leaves behind no scent at all.

Mold damage can be a massive problem for your business, stretching far beyond the potential health effects resulting from exposure. Resolve this problem quickly by calling SERVPRO of Agoura / Calabasas / Hidden Hills. Our mold remediation specialists can be reached anytime at (818) 991-6292.
