Mildew is a surface fungus that easily develops on cardboard, books and even fabrics. Mildew usually grows in a flat pattern and may appear powdery. Mildew usually starts out white and may later turn to yellow, brown or black. It can usually be treated with a store bought cleaner and scrub brush. Mould is usually fuzzy in appearance and can be many different colours including white, yellow, blue, green, brown, gray and black. Mould will cause structural damage to your property and can cause numerous health issues.

Wood flooring in your commercial property that has been damaged by water must be continually evaluated by qualified technicians during the drying process.

Depending on the density of hardwood flooring and the type of finishes used, complete drying may take up to three weeks or longer.
