Mold Happens In More Places Than You Think

May 13, 2025 | Uncategorized

Let’s talk about something nobody wants to deal with… but almost everyone does at some point: water and mold damage. Here at Clear Property Inspections, it’s our mission to uncover the hidden stuff – moisture, humidity, mold – you name it.

Most people think mold only hides out in the usual suspects like the kitchen sink cabinet or behind the bathroom tile. And sure, that happens too. But the reality? Mold can show up in places you’d never expect.

We’re not just crawling around in residential attics (though we do that, too!). We’ve recently worked on all kinds of commercial spaces – from office buildings to convenience stores. Here’s a look at where we’ve been lately.

🏢 Office Buildings & Portable Office Trailers

Window leaks are sneaky. One tiny crack in the seal, and moisture creeps in over time. We found mold quietly thriving inside wall cavities in more than one office setup – caused by nothing more dramatic than good ol’ Florida humidity and poorly sealed windows.

🛒 Retail Convenience Stores and Markets

You know those big commercial refrigerators that keep your favorite drinks and snacks cold? Well, sometimes, they’re not as sealed off as they should be. Moisture from those units can seep into the surrounding walls and, before you know it, you’ve got a mold party happening behind your chip display.

🏭 Warehouses

In one recent case, a fire broke out in a warehouse. Thankfully, the sprinkler system did its job. But that also meant… everything got soaked. And where there’s standing water and leftover moisture, mold is quick to follow. We came in to assess the damage and guide the remediation team through the process to get things dry and safe again.

The Next Steps

Whether you’re an insurance carrier, a restoration contractor, a property manager, or a property owner, we’re here to help you find it and figure out the next steps.

We don’t just do air quality testing – we provide clear, step-by-step guidance on how to fix the issue and prevent it from coming back. No scare tactics. No unnecessary services. Just honest, thorough inspection and a plan you can trust.

Got a commercial or residential property you’re concerned about? Wondering if that “musty smell” is actually something more? Let’s take a look. We’re here to bring clarity (and clean air!) back to your space.

Take Care,
