Chem-Dry specialises in fast, efficient and thorough mould remediation services designed to effectively treat affected areas and help maintain a healthier living space. Our work aligns with established industry standards to ensure thorough and reliable results.
Mould doesn’t wait – and neither should you. If you've noticed signs of mould or excess moisture, contact Chem-Dry to arrange a prompt assessment and take the next steps toward restoring your home environment.
Our Expert Mould Remediation Process
Why Mould Remediation is Important
When moisture and humidity build up, mould can take hold, growing in hidden areas like behind walls, behind furniture and in ceilings. Sometimes a property can have an indistinguishable musty, mouldy smell, and other times there are very few clues that there is a problem growing.
Left untreated, mould can cause:
-
Health Issues: Asthma and respiratory problems, running nose and sneezing, allergies, irritation of eyes and skin, migraines and fatigue. Often symptoms can cause symptoms that mimic a common cold. -
Property Damage: Mould can weaken the structural integrity of building materials, leading to costly repairs. When mould has been left to develop, the remediation required can progress from straightforward removal to striping out of building materials and extensive cleaning.
-
Unpleasant Odours: Persistent mould smells can affect your indoor air quality and be hard to shift.
-
Rental Property Issues: The Tenancy Tribunal require landlords to ensure their property is mould free when a tenant moves in, remedying any growing mould as soon as it is noticed. Left untreated, this can become an issue for both property, owners and tenants.
What causes mould?
A level of mould spores will always be present in a property, these organisms are simply a part of nature. However, given the right environment, these spores can become active and start thriving rapidly, creating a real risk to home and occupants.
When there is a presence of humidity or moisture, often after a leak or flooding, or simply where condensation has persisted, mould can start taking hold. We can see the start of mould developing in untreated or incorrectly treated flooded properties as soon as 2 days after the water ingress occurred. Warm temperatures above 21 degrees, lack of air movement, and darkness can rapidly increase the rate at which mould grows.
