Mold in newly constructed building

Mold under raised floor in newly constructed municipal building.

Even new building construction can have a mold problem. This is a picture of the wall under a raised floor in which a mold problem developed. Although mold in not something you want to see in your building, if you take this as an opportunity to investigate what the water/moisture problem is, you can eliminate the moisture issue and remove the probability of mold again in the future. A good thing to remember is "you don't have a mold problem, you have a moisture problem." Address the water, and you will eliminate mold in the future. In this situation, we were able to properly remove the moldy material and keep the construction project on schedule!
