What is Mould?
Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp and humid environments. It can grow on various surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, and floors, particularly after water damage from leaks or flooding. While most mould types are relatively harmless, prolonged exposure can lead to structural damage and health concerns for occupants.
Toxic Mould: A Serious Concern
Toxic mould refers to specific mould species that release mycotoxins, which can cause severe health problems. One common type is Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as black mould. Toxic mould poses risks, especially in properties with prolonged water exposure, making professional assessment and remediation essential.
Common Causes of Mould Growth
- Water Leaks
- Plumbing issues
- Roof leaks
- Broken or improperly sealed windows
- Sinks
- Flooding
- Natural disasters
- Burst pipes
- High Humidity Levels
- Poor ventilation in bathrooms or kitchens
- Excess moisture in basements
- Condensation
- Poor insulation
- Temperature fluctuations
The Risks of Ignoring Mould
Ignoring mould growth can lead to severe consequences:
- Structural Damage: Mould can weaken walls, ceilings, and floors.
