Identifying the root cause of damp and mould
What Are the Signs of Damp and Mould in Your Home?
Would your home benefit from damp and mould testing? Mould thrives in warm and moist conditions to produce and release toxins. There are different types of mould; rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation damp.
Signs of dampness and mould in your home can present themselves as discolouration of walls and ceilings, a damp musty smell and wet or cold feeling floors and walls, which may cause wallpaper to peel and carpets to lift. If you see black mould on walls, window frames or bathroom tiles, this can be a sign of dampness caused by lack of ventilation.
If you are unsure or have concerns, a mould and damp inspection by a qualified Surveyor can confirm whether your house has a problem.
Why Do I Need Damp and Mould Testing?
While mould is a common problem, the appearance and smell of mould are not pleasant and, there are associated health risks of living with mould and damp in your home.
The health risks range from respiratory problems such as a cough, wheeze and shortness of breath to allergic reactions and even poor mental health as a result of living in a home with mould. The danger to health is more of a threat to the elderly, children and those who are pregnant or have respiratory problems such as asthma or a compromised immune system.
Damp and mould can also cause structural damage to your house and decrease the value of your property. Having a comprehensive damp and mould inspection completed for your home can detect mould problems and issues.
