Mould Treatment

There are thousands of types of moulds. Only 31 moulds are found in the home. Any of these can cause allergic reactions in people and mould treatment is imperative to provide welcome relief.

Many homes provide the three things that mould needs to thrive: moisture, oxygen and a food source. Mould can live in a range of places as they feed on a variety of sources including house plants, furniture, mattresses, floors, carpet, tiles – just to name a few.

Some of the main symptoms of mould allergies include sneezing, runny and or blocked nose, coughing and postnasal drip. Other symptoms include joint pain, asthma and even depression. Mould dampens the immune system and can render you more susceptible to other more serious health issues. Extreme and prolonged exposure to certain mould toxins can cause cancer.

Just because the mould is not visible to the naked eye, does not mean it is not there. Mould reproduction occurs when moulds produce tiny spores that become airborne. These mould spores can spread to other areas and may bloom when conditions are right. The perfect conditions for mould are a damp environment, with poor ventilation along with disturbance to spread spores such as through vacuum cleaning, walking on carpet or through an air conditioner.

Black mould is the most common type found in the home. It is usually directly caused by condensation. Mist and water droplets on windows and mirrors may be followed by black and coloured spots or stains – this is mould growth. The emphasis on providing insulation has created perfect conditions for mould, restricted ventilation and natural light. Kitchens and bathrooms are most susceptible to mould problems because of the large amounts of steam produced in cooking and bathing.

Dry up dampness, mould removal and prevention depends on the causes and severity of the dampness, a portable dehumidifier can help dry a room or basement area.

Dehumidfiers cool the air so that excess humidity condenses into a liquid to be emptied from the collecting container. A good dehumidifyer can effectively monitor the amount of humidity in the air, maintain it at an optimum level, ensuring the room air is at a comfortable level that stops mould and mildew growing.

The important thing is the extent to which they affect the dampness of surfaces and furnishings. Dehumidifiers can be used to dry laundry, remove moisture from closets and other enclosed spaces, rooms with many plants or tropical fish tanks, protect musical instruments that are vulnerable to humidity.
