The scenario of
noticing a mushroom type odour after entering a building has been encountered
by most of us. This generally indicates
that caused by raised moisture levels somewhere in the building there is a
mould problem.
Mould problem
caused by climatic conditions is not that common in generally dry climate. So, causing raised moisture levels within the
structure you can assume that there is most likely a building defect unless you
are in one of these areas with higher humidity. Mould removal in Brisbane
is essential.
At times with
some of their activities inside the building the occupants can also be the
source of the problem.
On internal
surfaces visible signs of mould growth must be searched for in an initial
visual survey of the building. It enables one to identify a possible cause of
the problem when it is located.
Not being in a
wet area is mould on a ceiling is a good example. through the roof from poorly installed
flashings, damaged materials, a leaking pressure pipe or overflow from blocked
gutters, We water ingress is looked for.
Allowing mould
growth to occur anything that can provide a source of moisture is searched for
by the mould cleaning service.
Usually by air
exchange reducing the humidity from the internal areas and removing the
moisture source is required to fix mould problems.
In a hidden
cavity area it usually indicates a moisture issue when there is no visible sign
of growth evident, which can range from suspended subfloor ventilation in Brisbane to the rear of a built in cupboard or wall cavities.
To check surface
areas especially where possible water leakage, such as the rear of baths and
showers etc. is expected an electronic moisture meter is used. Some hidden
sources of moisture which enables mould growth can be generally identified by
this.
Structural
damage to the building is not caused by the black mould one often sees in these
situations. But for some people living in the building especially allergy and respiratory
symptoms like health issues can be caused. From some materials it would be
difficult to remove the staining caused by mould.
