Mould spores are commonly found both inside and outside. Spores land and take hold when moisture is present. This can be upon many differing surface types. Windows, doors, carpet and furnishings both soft and hard can accommodate mould growth. Mould growth is the spore latching onto the moisture content of these surfaces and feeding and then multiplying from this source.

The Problem

Mould is not always apparent with a visual inspection. Continual inhalation of a concentrated amount of mould spores may result in allergies, respiratory difficulties and a general fog in the head amongst other symptoms. It is not uncommon that certain people may develop a severe reaction to the presence of even a slight bit of mould, hence it is imperative to keep indoor areas at humidity levels of between 30-60% to discourage growth.

The Solution

Mould growing on hard surfaces can be washed and scrubbed with dish washing liquid to effect its removal. Soft surfaces such as carpet and furnishings which are absorbent may need to be replaced to ensure complete elimination. Environomics can investigate and trace the source and extent of moisture, leaks and dampness to then effect its remediation.
