Cooler

can mold grow in a commercial cooler?

I'm planning to replace a tile floor in a walk-in cooler. The tile is being replaced because the wood subfloor under it is rotten and saturated from a leak in the ceiling. So the subfloor has been perpetually wet for a very long time (years I would guess). My question is, can mold grow in refridgerated temperatures inside this restaurants cooler?

1. They find mold at the north and south pole. Yes, mold & mildew can grow in cold enviornments, if they have moisture. I replaced a rotten deck with aluminum from http://www.lockdry.com/ . I have no connection with the company, I was pleased with the product. Contact them and see if they have a decking that will work in your cooler. The decks are watertight, and you may not need to use tile.
2. Yes, mold can grow in any cold, wet and dark place...some molds don't require dark.
