Our Commercial Mold Remediation Process
Common Causes of Mold in Commercial Properties
Understanding what causes mold in commercial buildings can help you prevent future mold growth and avoid expensive remediation. Here are the most common causes of mold in commercial properties:
Water Leaks and Plumbing Issues
Leaking pipes, roofs, or HVAC systems are the most common culprits for mold growth in commercial properties. If not addressed promptly, these leaks can lead to extensive water damage and mold formation behind walls or under floors.
Humidity and Poor Ventilation
Mold thrives in environments with high humidity and poor ventilation. Commercial kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and even office spaces with improper airflow can create the perfect conditions for mold to grow.
Flooding and Storm Damage
Natural disasters like floods or heavy storms can bring an influx of water into commercial properties, leading to widespread mold growth if not addressed immediately. JJ&S offers emergency mold remediation services to tackle flooding-related mold issues before they spread.
HVAC Systems
Mold can spread through a building’s HVAC system if condensation accumulates within the ducts. Mold spores can be circulated throughout the property, creating widespread contamination. Regular HVAC maintenance and prompt mold remediation can prevent these issues.
Preventing Mold Growth in Commercial Properties
Once your commercial property has been remediated, it’s crucial to take proactive steps to prevent mold from returning. Here are some tips to help you safeguard your property:
Regular Maintenance
Conduct routine inspections of your building’s plumbing, roofing, and HVAC systems to catch leaks or moisture issues early. Addressing water-related problems quickly can prevent mold from developing.
Control Humidity Levels
Keep indoor humidity levels between 30% and 50% to prevent mold growth. Installing dehumidifiers in moisture-prone areas can help control humidity, particularly in basements, storage rooms, or kitchens.
Improve Ventilation
Ensure proper ventilation in high-moisture areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. This can include installing exhaust fans or ensuring that HVAC systems are properly maintaining airflow.
Professional Inspections
Schedule annual mold inspections with a certified mold remediation company like JJ&S. Regular inspections help catch early signs of mold, preventing major infestations and costly repairs.
Factors that Influence Commercial Mold Remediation Costs
Size of the Area: Larger commercial properties or spaces with extensive mold growth require more time, labor, and resources.
Type of Mold: Certain types of mold, such as black mold, are more hazardous and require specialized equipment and containment measures.
Structural Damage: If mold has caused significant damage to walls, ceilings, or HVAC systems, repair and restoration will add to the cost.
Accessibility: Mold in hard-to-reach areas such as crawl spaces or ductwork requires extra care and effort during remediation.

Commercial Mold Remediation FAQ
What is commercial mold remediation?
Commercial mold remediation is the process of identifying, containing, and removing mold from commercial properties, such as offices, schools, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. This process is crucial for ensuring a safe and healthy environment for employees, customers, and anyone who occupies the space. It also prevents property damage caused by mold and helps businesses maintain compliance with health and safety regulations.
How do I know if my commercial property needs mold remediation?
Common signs that you may need commercial mold remediation include visible mold growth on walls, ceilings, or floors, a persistent musty odor, recent water damage or flooding, and complaints of allergy-like symptoms or respiratory issues from occupants. Mold can also be hidden behind walls or in HVAC systems, so if you've experienced a water leak or other moisture issues, it’s best to have your property inspected by a professional mold remediation company.
How quickly does mold grow in commercial buildings?
Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours in moist conditions. Areas with water leaks, high humidity, or poor ventilation are especially prone to rapid mold growth. If you suspect mold or have experienced water damage, it’s essential to act quickly to prevent it from spreading and causing further damage.
What’s the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?
Mold removal involves physically removing visible mold from surfaces, but it doesn’t address the root cause of the mold growth. Mold remediation goes a step further by not only removing the mold but also identifying and addressing the underlying cause (such as leaks or moisture issues) to prevent future mold growth. Mold remediation also includes cleaning, disinfecting, and restoring the affected areas.
Can mold return after remediation?
While our mold remediation process includes measures to prevent mold from returning, it’s essential to address the root cause of the mold, such as leaks or high humidity. If these issues are not resolved, mold could return. At JJ&S, we not only remove the mold but also help you identify and correct the moisture problem to prevent future growth.
Is commercial mold remediation covered by insurance?
In many cases, commercial property insurance may cover mold remediation if the mold was caused by a covered event, such as water damage from a storm or burst pipe. However, if the mold is due to neglect or maintenance issues, it may not be covered. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific policy.
