A Guide to Mould Removal

Blog

Mould is a substance that can cause severe respiratory problems, especially when it grows in excess in your home. Its spores are light enough to float in the air, where you end up inhaling them and compromising your respiratory health. Here's what you need to know about mould growth and mould removal:

Why and Where Does It Grow?

Mould grows where there is constant moisture. Its spores are light enough to be carried by the wind for long distances. If these spores fall onto a moist surface, growth begins. The most common areas where mould grows is on your tile roofing, in your ceiling, on your walls and on other surfaces of your house's interior if there is high humidity.

How to Tell Whether Mould Is Growing in Your Premises

Inspect your house's interior surfaces; do you see black spots? What about on your ceiling? Black spots/patches are the most common sign that mould is growing on your premises. Houses that are at risk of mould growth are those that have high humidity. You might even notice your house always feels chilly; this shows that it may not be properly ventilated and you have not invested in an air conditioning unit.

What Should You Do If You Notice Mould?

Clean it to lessen the chances of inhaling mould spores. Purchase a face mask or dust mask and some gloves. You might also need bleach and mould-treating chemicals. If you do not know of any mould cleaning chemicals, the store owner will help you pick one. After you clean the visible mould, contact a mould cleaning company near you. Why? You do not know the extent of mould growth; you want an expert to inspect your house because he or she is more experienced and knows where to look.

What Can You Expect From the Mould Cleaning Company?

You might be informed that there is a mould inspection fee you need to pay first. Once the inspection is done, a report is generated, highlighting the findings. At this point, the mould removal/cleaning expert uses his or her vast knowledge and experience to identify how mould removal will be carried out and thus come up with a quote for the mould removal work. As soon as you give the go-ahead, mould removal commences.

The good thing about utilising mould removal services is that you completely get rid of mould and your surfaces are treated to prevent regrowth.
