Brockton Public Library Mold Outbreak

PowerBees would like residents of Brockton, MA to be aware of a potential mold outbreak at the Brockton Public Library. In an article reported by The Enterprise entitled “Black Mold Takes Hold”, Patrons and workers in the Brockton Public Library have recently discovered a dark-colored, powdery film of mold near ceiling air ducts.

The mold reportedly began growing after a lightning strike damaged parts of the air conditioning system, which required three days to replace during a particularly humid period in August. The excess humidity then created an incubator-like situation for mold growth, which is a danger that any home or business owner should be aware of.

The Community Raises Concerns

Many workers and patrons have expressed deep concern about the mold issue in Brockton, as public awareness of mold issues is on the rise due to an increasing number of high profile mold incidents in recent years, many of which have been covered in the PowerBees blog and newsletter. The library called licensed and certified mold inspectors in Brockton, like the ones employed at PowerBees, who were able to determine the relative safety of the air quality in the Brockton Public Library. The mold inspectors did recommend cleaning of the air duct system in order to mitigate any lingering issues with the presence of mold.

Professional Recommendations

Our Brockton mold testing and mold remediation company would recommend that additional professional mold testing and removal services be employed to ensure the health and safety of all library patrons and workers. If you have recently replaced an air conditioning unit in your home or business during humid conditions, consider contacting PowerBees for Brockton mold inspection services including testing and remediation if necessary.
