Mould Remediation
Mould
contamination has been identified as a major contributor to building-related
illness and poor indoor air quality. Without proper mitigation of water losses,
mould can start to grow rapidly, within 48 hours. Where sewage backflows into
a building, the amplification of mould growth is even greater and faster,
unless properly mitigated and remediated. Some moulds are known to be allergenic,
pathogenic or toxigenic.
Some types of mould can cause:
- Cancer (long term)
- Immune System Deficiencies
- Organ Damage
- Bronchial Constriction
- Internal Bleeding
- Skin Disease
- Gastrointestinal Illness
What Causes Mould
Mould
is a serious issue after any disaster, especially after water damage. If not
acted on quickly it can lead to health problems. The following factors have
their hand in creating mould:
- Starter Spore Colony
- Nutrient Source
- Moisture
- Humidity greater than 45%
- Temperature of 20 - 30 degrees Celsius
- Bad Light
- Time
