Warning Signs of Mold in a Marlton/Morningside Area Commercial Building

6/2/2021 (Permalink)

Because it isn't visible, mold can be difficult to detect. However, mold can be an especially tricky problem to detect in commercial buildings.

Often times there are rooms or spaces in a commercial building that people don't visit often, and as such it may take longer to detect mold. This is why it is especially important to be sensitive to some of the two early signs of mold in a commercial building.

Warning Sign #1: Smell

Mold has a very musky, even earthy smell, while hard to miss, can easily be dismissed as simply "basement smell". If you detect an unusual and persistent odor in a particular room or section of your commercial building, it is possible you have mold.

Remember, mold isn't always visible and may be growing under carpets, furniture, sinks, cabinets, etc. so the "moldy smell" is you best first early detection signal.

Warning Sign #2: Health Issues

If you or any tenants experience any health effects in addition to the presence of a weird or "moldy" odor, there is a chance there is mold present somewhere in the commercial building. Seek medical attention and consider reaching out to a mold expert, like us here at SERVPRO of Marlton/Morningside to address your mold issue.
