Molded floor and wall of a home in Melbourne, FL, December 2022 Upon the discovery of mold, give SERVPRO of West Brevard a call!

Running a company in Melbourne, FL, might have you too busy to be concerned about black mold and other fuzzy growth patterns. However, unless you have a proactive plan in place to address potential growth, you will find yourself spending precious time and resources to correct a problem that could have easily been prevented. Look at the difference something as simple as carpet cleaning can make.

Mold Growth Possibilities

If your facility suffers from a leaky roof or unsealed windows, the long term results of disrepair will be water damage. With the right combination of untreated damage and a good supply of oxygen, mold spores will take up residence in your air ducts, on your walls and ceilings, and in your carpet. A thorough maintenance and cleaning plan for your facility will be the best way to address these concerns. Your cleaning routine should include:
• Vacuuming all high traffic areas at least twice a week.
• Daily removing all trash.
• Daily sweeping, mopping, and sanitizing all restroom and kitchen facilities.
• Sweeping all hard floor surfaces at least twice a week.
• Checking HVAC filters at least once a month.


Special Attention Situations

Mold problems are created when the conditions for spore growth are encouraged. If the flooring has gotten wet, a thorough carpet cleaning is necessary to remove all the water and disinfect the entire material. By placing rubber mats around entryways, you can encourage your patrons and employees to wipe their feet and avoid soaking carpeted areas with water and mud. Scheduling regular ductwork maintenance and HVAC inspections may also reduce the potential for needing mold remediation services.
Professional-rated carpet cleaning equipment can be rented from local retailers in Melbourne, FL, and this is one way to add this item to your maintenance routine. Create a master list of maintenance items so that everyone in the facility can do their part to help eliminate prime conditions for mold growth.
