It has been one month since Louisiana experienced one of the worst natural disasters in the United States since Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

For businesses, mold doesn’t just have the ability to damage property. It can also cause adverse health issues in your employees and customers, which can create liability issues for your business. There are many causes of mold, although mold is typically the result of excessive moisture that is left untouched. Mold thrives in humid, warm, and moisture-rich areas; in fact, wet and porous building materials, humidity above 60%, and constant moderate to warm temperatures encourage mold growth indoors.

As a building manager, you understand that maintaining a comfortable environment for your employees, your clients, your tenants or residents, and yourself is essential year-round.

Your building’s heating and cooling system is trying to tell you one big thing – it needs some much-needed attention. It isn’t unusual for organizations to carry on with business as usual and forget about the ductwork; after all, there are clients to tend to and work to complete. If you haven’t thought about your HVAC in a while, you might want to, however. After all, your heating and cooling system is much like the lungs of your facility. It takes air in and breathes it right back out, and you’ll want to ensure that it’s “breathing” clean air.

Often roof issues aren’t addressed until there’s a problem. However, finding and addressing roof issues early can save money by preventing further issues and interior damage.
