Mold, most commonly known as fungi, thrives where stagnant water and moisture are present. Mold can grow in as little as 48 hours when high levels of moisture are present indoors. High levels of moisture can be caused by a broken or leaking pipe, flood, lack of adequate ventilation, or high humidity. Insufficient or delayed maintenance of commercial buildings can also be the cause of high levels of moisture in the air.
Mold will adversely impact the look and structural integrity of your business facility. After a significant amount of time, mold starts breaking down and decomposing any materials or surfaces it resides on such as drywall, wood, and building materials, thus compromising the structural integrity of the affected facility. The weakened structure becomes a hazardous and dangerous environment for employees.

Mold can greatly impact the productivity of a business due to its negative effect on the human body. Mold can cause infections, respiratory problems, and allergic reactions of the skin, nose, and eyes (watery eyes, runny nose, nasal congestion, itching, coughing, sneezing, headache and fatigue), thus negatively impacting employee productivity and efficiency.
