Knowing what caused the mold growth in your commercial property may help you avoid the need for more mold cleanup in the future.

Moisture
Mold needs moisture to survive. A leaking pipe or other plumbing problems can create a constant source of moisture in your. High humidity in a building can also cause mold growth. If your facility has 70% humidity, you may want to find a way to reduce the moisture in the air.

High Temperatures
Warmth is another element loved by black mold and many other types of fungus. Temperatures in empty warehouses or busy factories can get high. When possible, try to keep your buildings below the mid-70s on the Fahrenheit scale to discourage the mold growth.

Stagnant Air
Try to keep some airflow going even when you don’t plan to run your heating or air conditioning unit. Airflow can help prevent mold growth by keeping the area dry and moisture levels low.

Darkness
Another environmental element that could lead to more mold growth is darkness. Darkness alone might not be enough to cause mold growth, but it is often associated with damp, stagnant places. The environment of your commercial building can play a big role in the development of mold.
