Why Treat Mould in Your Home or Business
What Causes Mould?
Mould is caused by excess moisture in your home — usually through rising dampness in your basement, leaking pipes or appliances, or damage to your roof or foundation. Whatever the case may be, contact the team at Scientific Mould Experts in Geelong to eliminate the mould quickly to reduce the effect it may have both on your home and on your health.
Is Mould Dangerous?
Airborne mould has the potential to spread throughout many areas of your home, contaminating your environment fully. If you notice mould throughout your living space and are experiencing fatigue, cold symptoms, watery eyes, trouble breathing or a foggy brain, call us immediately.
Creating a Healthier Environment
It's important to tackle any mould problems that you may have in your household quickly to ensure that your home is as healthy and safe as possible. To give you a better idea of why mould remediation is so important, here are a few of the health issues that come with mould in your home.
Respiratory Problems
If our environment becomes saturated with airborne spores, we are forced to continually breathe them in, creating a wide array of health problems in our respiratory system, including shortness of breath, asthma symptoms, coughing and other issues.
Other Health Issues
Prolonged exposure to any type of mould can create ill health in all individuals. In addition to respiratory issues, mould can cause harm through gastrointestinal problems, genitourinary problems, immunosuppression, haemorrhages, and skin rashes.
Can Mould Be Deadly?
All types of mould have the potential to cause health problems, but for some individuals who have decreased resistance to infection, mould can be especially harmful. If you've noticed mould growth in your home, please call an expert for remediation services soon.
