Mould
Mould can be easily recognised, as it usually manifests as green, black or brown spots. Additionally, mould thrives in humid, badly ventilated spaces and is often caused by strike through damp. Mould consists of micro-organisms which spread quickly, can cause serious health related issues, and can lead to structural damage if not taken care of in time.
Possible causes:
| condensation due to cold bridges and bad ventilation |
| bad heating and high humidity |
| moisture as a result of construction in new buildings |
| leaking plumbing, gutters, and pipes |
| heavy rain fall |
| broken windows, damaged or missing roofing tiles |
Preventative measures
When mould is caused by damage as a result of leaks and/or cracks in walls or ceilings, repairs have to be made as soon as possible. While we make sure that mould will not return after having made the necessary repairs, one can aid this by keeping the residence dry. This can quite easily be achieved by producing less moisture, better ventilation, and by increased heating.
