One of the biggest post-flood/escape of water dangers to the health of a property and its inhabitants is mould growth. A flood in a domestic or commercial property grants mould ideal conditions in which to thrive, with the risk to human health being proportional to the exposure time experienced and the species and the density of airborne mould spores. Most properties have mould in some form or other – often hidden behind surface finishes, in voids and within stud partitions. Whether your mould infestation comes as the result of flooding or just general damp and moisture in your home, Foundation Restoration Specialists LTD can help by providing a reliable mould removal service.
Mould and the spores it produces are a recognised health hazard. If the area affected by mould is less than 1 metre square and is caused by condensation, you may be able to remove it yourself. If the mould is a result of sewage or is one metre squared or larger you will need to contact a professional remediation company. If mould is not dealt with effectively and completely it can very quickly become out of control presenting a health risk and causing costly damage to property. Unfortunately, bleach and household products are ineffective when dealing with mould and preventing its return. Mould will thrive in conditions of excess moisture and poor ventilation. If it is warm and humid the mould will worsen. One of the problems associated with mould growth is that it isn't always in places that are visible. Mould can occur indoors or outdoors, in basements, attics, behind drywalls, under carpets, anywhere with excess moisture. Mould grows easily on wooden items and ceiling tiles as well as in dust, paint, wallpaper, fabrics, insulating materials and upholstery. You can be certain that all mould will be effectively removed and its return prevented, giving you complete peace of mind.
