What is Mould and Why is it a Problem?
Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, humid environments. It can grow on various surfaces, including walls, ceilings, carpets, and furniture.
The primary cause of mould in properties is poor ventilation, which leads to increased condensation. A damp environment with high condensation creates ideal conditions for mould to thrive. Fortunately, we also specialise in professional condensation control services, allowing us to address this issue promptly and effectively.
Mould is not only unsightly but can also pose serious health risks, particularly for those with respiratory issues, allergies, or compromised immune systems. Common symptoms of mould exposure include coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and skin rashes.
What is black mould?
Black mould is a toxic fungus that thrives in damp, humid environments. It often appears as dark green or black patches on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces.
Exposure to black mould can cause serious health issues, including respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and skin irritation. Addressing black mould promptly is crucial to maintaining a healthy living or working environment.
