Professional House Mould Removal & Remediation in Melbourne
What is Mould?
Mould (Australian/British Spelling), or Mold (American) is a microscopic living organism belonging to the fungi family that can grow almost anywhere including seemingly clean areas. It is likely to thrive in buildings in moist and wet areas where ventilation is poor. Exposure to Mould can pose health risks such as allergies.
The Causes of Mould Growth
A mix of ideal conditions can cause mould to grow quickly in unsuspected areas. Mould is everywhere around us in the air in tiny particles as mould spores, but they are not harmful most of time. The problem comes when the spores fall into an environment ideal for mould growth and spread rapidly from there, damaging your building structure and necessitating a complete mould remediation solution.
Mould loves warm and dark environments with poor ventilation and thrive best when there is water or nutrients, which is why they appear quickly on bread. Mould and dampness are caused by the presence of excess moisture in a property. Sometimes, the issue comes from a leaking pipe, rain seeping in through holes on the roof or around window frames. Furthermore, a home suffering from poor ventilation can create prolonged condensation and mould issues. After deposing on surfaces, more mould spores are released in the air and move around the house for dark damp and wet areas such as bathrooms or basements. This is also a reason why if you can often notice a damp, musty smell when you go into basements and why mould loves to lodge in places that are often not visible such as inside the walls.
If warm summer months, mould is a recurring issue in Australia and particularly near the coast where the air humidity is high which in turns affects the humidity indoors. Furthermore, if your property has a history of flooding, mould can grow and appear within 24 hours and the complete mould inspection of the property might be required.

Professional House Mould Inspections
In properties where mould is visible, sometimes an inspection is not required. However, a strong odour suggests the presence of invisible mould that can grow in concealed areas and further investigation is necessary. Mould can also grow on your personal belongings and furnishings, often these can be restored to their original condition. We recommend booking an inspection to assess the level of contamination and cleaning required. Read more about mould inspections.
Mould Prevention
After the mould is treated, removed, and cleaned it is also important to take the necessary steps to prevent mould growth in your property again with a correct mould treatment. Keeping your home well-ventilated and dry will help keeping your home mould-free. It might be worth looking to install house ventilation systems to remove moisture and dampness in the air.
