Mold in Commercial Buildings

11/16/2021 (Permalink)

Commercial buildings are often overlooked when it comes to mold. Hidden pipes in the ceilings that may be damaged can slowly leak and goes undetected causing mold growth.

Mold is a type of fungus. It can be found both indoors and outdoors. Research has shown that mold grows best in humid, warm and moist environments. 

Common types of mold found in commercial buildings:

• Aspergillus - grows on dust, food made from powder, and most commonly found on drywall.
• Cladosporium - can grow in both cool and warm environments and is typically found on fabric and on the surface of wood.
• Penicillium - often has a blue or green color and is typically formed on objects that have been affected by water. 
• Alternaria - is found in most common damp areas, such as showers or under sinks.
