Understanding Mould
Mold growth in your property can cause significant health concerns and structural damage if left unaddressed. Mould remediation is a detailed process to identify, contain, and eliminate mould infestations, restoring your property to a safe and healthy environment.
Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, humid conditions. It reproduces through airborne spores that can settle and grow on a variety of surfaces.
Health Risks Associated With Mould
- Allergic Reactions: Sneezing, runny nose, and skin irritation.
- Respiratory Issues: Asthma attacks or difficulty breathing.
- Toxic Effects: Prolonged exposure to toxic mould types like Stachybotrys (black mould) can lead to serious health complications.
Common Causes of Mould Growth
Excess Humidity: High indoor humidity levels encourage mould growth.
Water Leaks: From plumbing, roofs, or windows.
Poor Ventilation: Lack of airflow in areas like basements, bathrooms, and attics.
Flooding: Standing water or residual moisture creates ideal conditions.
Condensation: Accumulation on cold surfaces such as windows or pipes.
