The Great Neck Business Community Needs Mold Remediation in a Hurry

SERVPRO understands how easy it is to overlook a little fungal growth in a Great Neck warehouse. It does not seem like a big problem, so you decide to take care of it later. However, it is never a good idea to leave fungal growth untreated.

If you see signs of fungus, that means you need mold remediation in your Great Neck warehouse. What seems like a small patch of mold had the potential to release two kinds of compounds into the air. The first type of compound is mycotoxins. The other type of compound is microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). Molds produce mVOCs when actively growing, and the mVOCs can produce unpleasant moldy smells.

Why is it better to act sooner rather than later?

 Many species of mold are fast-growing. When you see a patch of mold, it means:

   • The fungus has already formed a network of cells known as mycelium

   • The mycelium is consuming the substance it is growing on

   • The mold is in a growing stage and is capable of producing spores, which can travel and settle elsewhere in your warehouse

Damage to stored cartons, inventory, and equipment can occur with mold proliferation.

Is it possible to prevent spores from spreading?

 Mold spores are microscopic, which makes stopping them a challenge. However, our team can:

   • Set up containment around the affected area to discourage spores from spreading (poly sheeting)

   • Use negative air machines to prevent the flow of contaminated air into uncontaminated areas

   • Use HEPA filters and air scrubbers to capture mold spores

 We remove visible fungi and deodorize the area to leave your business Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned. We understand that you need to get back to business as soon as possible, which is why We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
