It's hard to find a tenant for a molding space!

When you own or manage commercial properties like this one here on Long Island, NY from time to time you may encounter a mold issue. When a unit is vacant, it is unwise and unprofitable to let the situation remain.
A moldy building is not appealing to prospective tenants and will send them running. Receiving clients in an office space with the telltale musty odor is bad for business and bad for health.
Employees health is at risk when the indoor air quality is poor - particularly when it has progressed to this stage, as shown in the photo.
For retailers, stocking merchandise in a moldy building is a risky venture as mold can damage the items or packaging rendering them unsaleable.
Have mold in your building? Call SERVPRO of Great Neck/Port Washington for service.
Note that if you have over 10 square feet of mold, NYS mandates you have an independent environmental hygienist to inspect the property, test for mold and provide a report before your remediation can begin. They will also retest at the end of your remediation to ensure that levels have been reduced to normal. We follow their recommendations in their report.
