Mould Growth

Mould growth can occur where dampness, excessive moisture is present in your home or building. Moulds release countless of tiny spores which travel through the air. If mouldy items and materials are not removed or correctly cleaned high levels of airborne mould spores may be a health risk to occupiers of the house or building. Mould can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate other respiratory and allergic conditions if you think you may have a medical condition due to mould consult a medical practitioner.

What to do if you have a dampness and mould growing in your house

Mould when found needs to be professionally and safely removed.

Just as important though is to establish the cause of the mould, dampness and excessive moisture within a home.

The problem can be design related or a defective components of a building. Through a detailed inspection and assessment of damp house or damp building it is possible to establish the cause of the dampness and through remedial building works remove the root of the dampness problem.

Condensation

Condensation can cause mould growth in houses cause fungal decay in timbers and the timber structure of a house or building. Ventilation is an effective way of reducing or removing moisture within a house. Ventilation can reduce relative humidity within a house.

Why condensation occurs

Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. If air is warm enough to store a considerable amount of moisture and if the air is cooled below dewpoint, relative humidity exceeds 100%   and condensation occurs.

Condensation can occur where moisture levels are too high.

Water vapours from a source to an area of cold temperature.

Temperatures in the building fabric are too low.

Dampness will increase the humidity level within a house or building contributing to condensation occurring. 

Site Drainage

An inspection of adequate site drainage involves inspecting and observing the ground, paving, paths driveways, steps and gardens beds around a house or building. The ground should slope away from the foundations and garden beds and paving should not trap or pond water.

Down pipes, gutters and drains should all be inspected for defects and adequacy.

Fungal decay to timber

Dampness and excessive moisture can produce wood fungi decay to timber work in a house of building including structural timber, subfloor structural timbers and timber stumps greatly reducing the life expectancy of timber stumps and subfloor timber framing and finished timber within a house or building.
