These mushrooms started growing because of a slow leak from the bathroom sink that went undetected for weeks.

Mold can be a major issue for anyone, especially a business owner.  In addition to disrupting your employees productivity and potential health effects, active mold growth can cause damage to your building, furniture, and more.  Many business owners respond to mold growth once it's a major problem.  The following are a few signs that you can look for to hopefully catch the mold growth before it becomes a complete mess.

• You see visible mold/mushrooms - this is one of the most obvious signs.  Contact SERVPRO of Holland / West Ottawa County to set up an estimate and scope of work to remediate the damage.
• You notice a musty smell - mold doesn't always grow in visible places.  Under a sink, behind drywall, or under carpet are just a few places it can hide.  Mold gives off a musty smell though; if you detect a musty odor in your business, it's best to call SERVPRO of Holland / West Ottawa County to test for mold.
• Your business recently had water damage - mold can start to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours under certain conditions.  Quick drying and antimicrobial application helps to deter mold growth, but many water damages go undetected longer than they should.  If you notice water damage in your facility, call SERVPRO of Holland / West Ottawa County immediately.
