2 Ways to Identify Mould In Your Property

1. Identify Mould Visually

Mould growth is a common building issue that typically develops in areas with high humidity and low ventilation. By routinely inspecting these areas in your property, you may be able to see the first signs of mould growth and treat it before it becomes a larger structural issue. You should check for possible leaks, assess whether there is enough ventilation in the area and inspect for condensation. Additionally, if you notice your home has a trace of a damp or musty smell it might be time to investigate your property and take note of problem areas to report to a mould specialist.

identifying mould in your house that is growing on the walls and structures — Under normal, dry environments indoor spores will attach themselves to inanimate objects and rest for weeks to months without causing disturbance to the property. They have the ability to thrive best (but not only) in dark and damp environments. Such ‘micro-environments’ include carpets, upholstery, wood, walls, ceilings, HVAC systems and other materials.

2. Call a Mould Specialist

Identifying mould by inspecting your property is the simplest way to prevent further structural damage. Whilst DIY methods and home products can work to stop mould growth in small areas, hidden mould behind walls, underneath carpets or in hard to reach areas generally require a mould specialist. The most optimal way to ensure mould is effectively treated is to hire a professional mould remediation company. When you hire a mould remediation company, you’re hiring professionals who know how to exactly identify, remove and prevent mould from spreading. Mould experts don’t just inspect, test and sample mould found in your property, they also look for hidden sources of condensation or structural issues for you to resolve so the mould is less likely to return after treatment.
