How our mould removal service can help?
Mould thrives in moist, poorly ventilated environments and reproduces by producing spores. Mould spores can be found everywhere and almost instantaneously infest a home or business with a susceptible climate such as warm, damp, and humid conditions. Mould can amplify throughout a property within 48 hours and introduce allergens and irritants that can cause adverse health effects. Our mould removal and decontamination process include accessing the facility to identify the possible root causes of the mould infestation. A detailed remediation process follows this to eliminate and restore the environment to be free from mould.

Health Effects of Mould Growth
According to the CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention), exposure to damp and mouldy environments can result in various health effects or none. Some people are sensitive to mould. Mould exposure can cause symptoms such as a stuffy nose, wheezing, red or itchy eyes, or skin for these people. Some people, such as those with mould allergies or asthma, may have more severe reactions.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) found enough evidence in 2004 to link indoor mould exposure to upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people, asthma symptoms in people with asthma, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis in people susceptible to that immune-mediated condition.
Factors Causing Mould Infestation
- High relative humidity (RH) within building space
- Invasion of rainwater to the internal building environment
- Temperature differential within the building environment
- Fresh air intake issue into the AHU System
- Low air movement within the building environment
