Bathroom Mould Removal Service

When we imagine mould, many instantly think of the dark patches often found in humid areas of our homes, such as our bathrooms or basements. This is one form of mould, also known as black mould – a fungus that thrives in warm and humid areas.

In nature, mould serves an important purpose as nature’s natural cleaner, decomposing organic waste and returning the nutrients to the soil. Mould spreads by producing spores which travel through the air, which then latch onto other surfaces.

Mould can enter your home in much the same way, either through an open window or trodden in on your shoes. If the conditions are right in your home, then mould will establish itself there. Here are some common prerequisites for mould growth:

• High ambient moisture levels

• Oxygen

• Darkness

• Warmth

As mould grows, it often produces mycotoxins, a toxic by-product of the growth stage. These mycotoxins can enter our lungs and cause significant health issues, including dizziness, lung damage, and more. For those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, the impact of mould exposure can be even more severe.

Common areas for mould to spread within your home include the bathroom as well as basements. These areas satisfy the requirements mould needs to flourish, for example the consistent humidity provided when using the shower in a bathroom. 

Mould can also grow in areas out of sight, too. A leaky pipe in between the walls of your home will raise the ambient humidity there, providing the perfect conditions for mould growth. Areas around heating or cooling appliances are also prime spots for mould to grow.

Unfortunately, mould within walls can be particularly hard to detect for the untrained eye. In some cases, the mould can damage the structural integrity of your building by decomposing organic material.

Having received comprehensive training on utilising our mould removal technology, our specialists are ready to assist you. As part of your service, we’ll begin by UV fogging the entire property, which quickly disinfects and cleans large areas of the building.

Once the initial stage has been completed, we’ll then use our EPA-approved solutions to eliminate mould patches. These solutions have proven to be long-lasting, removing all traces of mould.

We use swabs to validate the completion of the work – this helps us detect any remaining mould particles to be removed by our competent technicians.

Finally, we are very happy to provide recommendations on preventing mould recurrence, helping you to continue to enjoy a healthy and mould-free environment.
