Mold Outbreak in Alexandria Motel?
3/21/2022 (Permalink)
We had no idea there was a mold problem in our Alexandra motel until one of our guests complained of a musty odor in their motel room. We relocated the guests to another room, and we found mold growing in the bathroom!
Here are some tips the local team in Douglas and Otter Tail Counties gave me for what to do while waiting for help to arrive:
What to Do
- Stay out of affected areas
- Turn off the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and fans
What Not to Do
- Don’t touch or disturb the mold
- Don’t blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth
- Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself
- Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold
Highly Trained
The team located the source of the excess moisture using an infrared camera. There was a leak inside the shower wall that had been there for some time. Once the reason for the excess water was identified, the remediation crew contained the infestation so it could not spread to other parts of the room and building. Then the team began the remediation process.
