Mould Inside

Mould is a fungus that occurs naturally in damp conditions and grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. Mould creates a visible appearance, as well as having a distinctive odour. In order to reproduce, Mould produces tiny particles called spores. Spores are carried in the air and may cause health problems if inhaled, especially those who are sensitive or allergic to them. Mould is commonly greenish black in colour and generates a toxin called mycotoxins. It is a common problem found in both old and new properties.

Mould can be hazardous to your health and should be dealt with immediately. Health complications associated with Mould include but not limited to:

  • Nasal congestion
  • Wheezing
  • Eye-irritation
  • Chest tightness
  • Coughing and throat irritation
  • Prolonged exposure to high levels of indoor dampness can reduce lung function and cause chronic health problems such as asthma.
  • If left untreated, Mould has the capacity to harm/damage structural elements within a home.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Mould?

    Mould is a type of fungus that naturally occurs in organisms that play a major role in the ecology of the earth. It grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. Mould creates a distinctive appearance as well as having a pungent odor.

  • Why do I have Mould?

    Mould growth occurs when there is a water source, or if humidity present in an atmosphere, with minimal or no sunshine. Materials such as gyprock, wood and carpet create an ideal place for Mould to occur.

  • How does Mould spread?

    Mould grows best and retrocedes by making spores in a damp and poorly ventilated environment. These spores are carried in the air and may cause health problems if  inhaled by people, especially those who are sensitive or allergic to them.

  • How does Mould impact my health?

    Complications associated with Mould include nasal congestion, eye-irritation, chest tightness and wheezing. Prolonged exposure to high levels of Mould can reduce lung function therefore causing chronic health problems such as asthma and other breathing related issues.

  • How is Mould removed?

    There are generally 2 methods of Mould removal: physical removal of the affected area (for treatment of porous surfaces) and chemical removal of the Mould to the affected surface (for treatment of non-porous surfaces). Depending on the size of the Mould and location of the Mould, Serve Group will analyse the situation and best advise the most appropriate method of removal and further preventative measures.

  • Where could the moisture source be coming from?

    Common sources of moisture contributing to Mould growth:

    • Insufficient ventilation in wet areas of a building (bathroom, laundry, kitchen etc)
    • Roof and ceiling leaks
    • Plumbing leaks
    • Condensation

    If there is no water leak within the property, Mould can still grow depending on elevated humidity levels within the building.

  • Where does Mould occur?

    Mould has the capacity to grow on both porous and non porous materials, including internal and external walls, bathrooms, timber panels and carpets. Mould left untreated has the capacity to cause damage to structural elements within a building.

  • How can I ensure Mould does not return?

    To ensure Mould re-growth does not return, it is essential that the recommendations provided by Serve Group are adhered to, in order to limit the chances of recontamination.
