Don’t Forget Mold Removal 

Mold is a type of fungus that grows naturally outdoors, but is a sign of trouble inside. Along with structural damage and deteriorating aesthetics, mold growth causes health problems that could spell disaster for your team and the community you serve.

How Mold Grows

Mold grows by releasing microscopic spores, which can spread through air and water. Mold proliferates thanks to moisture and oxygen, so there are a lot of places where it can form and spread. 

Where Mold Grows

Mold thrives in any warm, damp places, so it's especially common on walls and ceilings, in bathrooms, and on upholstery or fabrics that don’t completely dry after use. 

Mold prevention can be relatively simple if you’re proactive about cleaning and maintenance. Keeping rooms and surfaces clean, cool, and dry will help.Since they’re moisture-prone, it’s also important to keep air conditioning units and bathrooms cleaned, attended to, and maintained. 

Be Preventive and Proactive
