Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp and moist environments. It can grow on surfaces such as porous (wood, fabric, leather) and non-porous (tiles, walls, metal) surfaces. While some types of moulds are harmless, others can pose significant risks to your business and home.
Causes of Mould Growth
Excess Moisture: Water leaks, high humidity and poor ventilation can create ideal conditions for mould growth.
Organic Matter: Mold feeds on organic materials like wood, paper and food.
Risks of Mould Exposure
Health Concerns - Trigger allergies, asthma, skin rashes and respiratory illnesses
Structural Damage: Decay and rot of wood will weaken structural integrity, discolouring of paints and staining on surfaces
How To Prevent Mould Growth
Control Moisture Level: Fix leaks promptly, use dehumidifiers and improve ventilation.
Inspect Regularly: Check for signs of mould such as discolouration, musty odours or visible growth to take action in removing them before the mould spores spread.
