Fixing commercial mold damage as soon as possible is important for many reasons. Not only can it help to restore and save essential appliances and furniture, but it can also avoid certain health issues and symptoms. At Paul Davis Restoration of North Dallas, we specialize in the restoration of both commercial and residential properties, including mold remediation services. Here, we discuss the reasons why you should contact a professional as soon as possible to take care of commercial mold damage.
Save Appliances and Electronics
Eliminating mold damage quickly is the first step in saving important systems in your business, such as computers, ovens, check-out machines, printers, fax machines, and others. After a fire or flood damage occurs, standing water from rainwater, burst pipes, or firefighting efforts can pool around your business’s electronics and appliances. This allows water to seep into systems, causing metal components to rust. Water can also run into your appliances’ electrical systems, which can cause them to stop working.
As water sits in appliances and electronics, systems can also begin to grow mold, which can impact how they hold up and function. By reaching out to a trusted restoration company, professionals have the chance to preserve important electronics and appliances. We have the resources and tools to clean and clear items of water, replace electrical components, and ensure they are working at their best.
Restore Furniture and Other Items
Quickly calling a professional to address commercial mold damage can also increase the chances that they can restore furniture, like chairs, desks, and couches, as well as other items, such as:
- Documents and photos
- Drapery and other linens
- Books and catalogs
- Video and audio files
Using the right tools, restoration companies can power wash fabrics along with certain solid materials, like wood, metal, plastic, and others. Some wooden materials found in furniture and other items may not be able to be restored, even if mold damage is minimal. This is because mold damage can hide deep into wooden surfaces, making them harder to fully clean and restore. However, calling mold remediation services as soon as you discover a flood in your business can make the restoration process smoother and easier.
Maintain Essential Building Structures
When a flood or fire damage occurs, water can build up on essential building structures, like floors, ceilings, and walls. Water that sits under these structures can grow mold deep beneath the surface, seeping into wood and other materials. As mold grows more intense, it can cause the structural durability of your business to decrease. This is because walls and ceilings that are wet with water can become weakened by mold, meaning structures that keep your building up have a harder time standing. In other words, leaving mold to multiply and grow in essential building structures can potentially cause your building to collapse.
By calling a professional immediately following the discovery of a flood, business owners can save the structural integrity of their business. In turn, this can save costs on having to completely demolish and rebuild your space.
Keep Yourself Safe from Commercial Mold Damage
Commercial mold damage can lead to many health risks for business owners, employees, and customers. This is because mold particles can fall into the air, allowing patrons to breathe them in. Mold can cause the development of certain illnesses and diseases, like asthma. It can also produce uncomfortable symptoms, such as:
- Runny nose
- Itchy or red skin
- Wheezing
- Red or itchy eyes
- Fever
- Shortness of breath
- Coughing
Mold can also worsen already-existing asthma symptoms. Hiring commercial restoration services to take care of mold damage as quickly as possible can keep you, your employees, and your clients safe from mold from water damage health risks.
