Got a Mold Problem? Carpet Tech is Your Solution
Mold is a naturally occurring organism in our environment. With the presence of moisture as a food source, mold can quickly damage your facility.
Conditions are ripe for a mold problem if you’ve experienced water damage of any kind, such as a leaky roof or pipe, improper bathroom ventilation, trapped condensation from your HVAC unit, a burst pipe, or flooding from rain.

IDENTIFYING MOLD
Mold spores are microscopic and cannot always be seen. Sometimes detected by a musty smell, mold spores can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems, sinus congestion and more serious health effects.
Undetected moisture is the most common cause of mold growth. Mold spores enter a business through an open window or door, through an HVAC system, or on clothing. Once inside, the spores can thrive in wet environments.
Common Mold Scenarios:
- Water damage: If your business has experienced leaky plumbing, a burst pipe, storm damage, the activation of a sprinkler system, or overflowing, moisture left behind can cause mold spores to grow and infest a building.
- Leaky appliances: Legacy equipment like refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines can encourage mold growth over time. Mold feeds on moisture and organic material. Kitchens and restrooms are common breeding grounds for mold.
- Remodels: If your business undergoes a remodel, workers can find mold under old flooring or inside walls. Extensive construction and remodels can even invite mold to breed if any construction materials have been exposed to moisture or left uncovered and outside.
- Roof Leaks: Spots on drywall and ceilings, sagging ceilings, and dripping during a storm are all signs of a leaky roof. Roof leaks can lead to a mold problem if left unrepaired too long.
It is important to address the problems that caused mold to grow before remediation can begin. If the source of moisture isn’t repaired, mold can and will return.
