The reason why we see mould form and quickly get out of control is simply because mould spores are everywhere.
Around 25% of the earth’s biomass is made up of different types of mould and mould spores. These spores are microscopic and float in the air. Mould spores can be carried into a building on clothing or they can enter your home simply through a breeze.
Once in a building, mould needs the right conditions to grow – water, food (organic matter), suitable temperature and air.
Aside from a water intrusion event (such as flooding, leaking roofs, damaged pipes or hot water systems), the most common cause of mould growth is from humidity, in both summer and winter, which creates the ideal conditions for mould to grow.
Mould spores can be found in furnishings, plants and even food, such as bread and fruit, which has formed mould colonies.
We will treat and eradicate your mould issues, and will give you advice on ways to reduce excess moisture and humidity to help keep the mould at bay.
