Mold Testing Burlington County

Preventing and remediating condensation is another simple tip you can use while educating about
tenant mold prevention. Tenants can reduce the potential for condensation by adding insulation in
areas that experience a lot of condensation. To make it even easier, you can advise tenants to simply
wipe away accumulated condensation when they notice it.
Another easy technique to suggest during tenant mold prevention education is to immediately wipe up
any spills that may occur. Make sure that tenants are aware of the damage that these spills could
potentially cause. Larger spills such as an overflowing bathtub or toilet, especially, can cause a lot of
damage. It is much easier to educate tenants to do their best to prevent and avoid mold than it is to get
rid of it. If a building experience flooding, the same rule applies. Cleaning up and drying out the building
quickly and thoroughly after the flood occurs is imperative. If you are concerned that the damage is too
severe, don’t hesitate to reach out to a professional mold remediation company to assess the damage.
Tenants Expressing Concerns About Mold
As previously mentioned, the average tenant generally doesn’t know a whole lot about mold and mold
prevention. Some tenants may even report concerns of pre-existing mold in their home. Some tenants
may be uneducated about mold, or may even be exaggerating the issue. However, you should always
take these reports seriously as their property manager. You are the owner of the building after all, and
you want your tenants to be happy. When tenants report mold or other maintenance issues, it is your
responsibility to investigate these reports. You must not only assess the issues, but ultimately straighten
them out. While not all tenant mold reports are valid, no report should be ignored. You may even want
to set up a professional mold inspection with a company in your South Jersey area.
