Mould Removal Service For Mould Damage
If you’ve experienced water damage or moisture problems in your home or business, mould growth can quickly become a serious issue. Mould can start to form in 12-24 hours, and can be visible in as little as 72 hours. If you notice mould growing, the first step is to get rid of it as soon as possible.
There are many questions to be answered:
- What kind of mould is it?
- Is it dangerous?
- Is all mould bad?
- What is the cause?
- What is the most effective way to get rid of my mould problem?
- How can it be prevented?
While most mould is not a serious problem, even harmless mould can grow to large numbers if given the chance. Large amounts of normal environment mould can overwhelm your immune system so removing active mould growth is important. The next question is “how?”
How Do You Prevent Mould Growth ?
Mould requires a range of temperatures, organic matter to feed itself and moisture. Because indoor environments are almost always in the first two categories, high humidity for long periods of time is the most important factor. Even if you remove all visible water, you’ll still have high ambient humidity levels and saturated materials to deal with.
Unnoticed maintenance issues that produce moisture – like dripping pipes or air conditioners – are the second most common cause of mould.
Your plan of action should include a mould specialist and a restoration specialist who can do an initial assessment and suggest remediation measures.

Mould enters your home in the form of tiny spores. When the environment is moist, these spores can grow, spread and damage the surfaces they’re sitting on. Mold can grow on your ceiling tiles, on wood, on wallpaper, on paint, on carpet, on insulation and on drywall. While there’s no way to get rid of all mould spores, you can manage their growth by preventing leaks, floods and high humidity in your home.

One of the most commonly asked questions about mould removal is this: “Do I need a licensed contractor to remove the mould?” The answer to this question is a resounding “YES!” Make sure you contact a licensed contractor as soon as possible.
Mould spores can cross contaminate your property, so it’s important to be aware of cross contamination.
It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on any areas that are prone to moisture, such as your bathroom, kitchen, basement, and attic.
Mould can take within 48 to 72 hours to grow and can colonize anywhere from one day to two weeks.
It’s impossible to completely prevent mould growth, but you can keep your home in good condition by regularly cleaning and maintaining your AC and heating systems, which can increase the growth of mould in your home.
The process of cutting out and cleaning disturbs the spores throughout the house, resulting in more mould problems. If you decided to fix it yourself, you’d need to construct a seal using negative pressure and equipment. There are additional legal requirements to follow to ensure that the mould is completely removed. It’s much safer to hire an experienced professional who is trained and capable of removing the mould with minimal disruption to your home or business to protect you and your family.
Mould can return if the reason it started to grow in the first place isn’t addressed. That’s why experts need to identify the root cause before fixing and removing it.
