Mould, It’s More Common Than You Think
Mould is a common contaminant found in most buildings and is often overlooked. Mould spores are often present in building dust and if found in large quantities can become a health and safety hazard. Over time mould can deteriorate structures, decrease property value, diminish building appearance and ruin your indoor air quality. Our specialists at Restoration Service are trained to resolve any mould related issues that you may have. Our innovative techniques and technology allows for quick and safe mould removal and prevention.
Mould occurs due to water damage and moisture in building materials such as walls, carpets, flooring and furniture that are susceptible to moisture damage . Inefficient drying of these materials allows mould to grow and spread. Mould can often be found in kitchens, bathrooms and on the surface of damp areas; however, mould is not always visible and can become trapped inside walls and beneath floor surfaces. Mould is often unavoidable, as it is caused by dampness and inefficient drying methods. In climates with lots of humidity, water vapor lingers in our air and causes moisture to become trapped in walls, attics, carpets, and floors. Contacting a professional at the first signs of mould is crucial. Restoration Service will help to detect, identify and permanently remove harmful mould growth of any type. It is important to take the necessary steps to control moisture in order prevent mould growth.
What is Mould ?
Mould appears in walls, flooring, carpet, and furniture that are exposed to water damage and not dried within 72 hours. After 72 hours, heavy mould can begin to develop and spread throughout your property. A small amount of mould particles present in the air are not enough to cause health problems; however, when the quantity becomes larger, mould can become dangerous, triggering allergies and respiratory problems. It is unwise to put off the removal of mould, because it could cause detrimental health effects and property. Call the mould removal professionals at Restoration Service as soon as mould is suspected. Hesitating to remove mould could cause permanent property damage and serious harm to your health.

Mould Removal in the Attic
One of the most common places for mould to develop is in the attic. Attics trap humidity, heat and moisture due to poor venting and often resulting in mould. It is important that you control the moisture and ventilation in your attic in order to minimize mould outbreaks. Mould can decompose building structure and create musty odours caused by fungal bacteria, resulting in an unsafe living environment. In the event that you find mould in your attic, call Restoration Service for immediate mould removal and decontamination.
