Common Causes of Mould Growth
Mould doesn’t just appear overnight, it’s typically the result of prolonged exposure to moisture. Some of the most common causes of mould in Perth homes and businesses include:
- Flooding and Storm Damage: Heavy rain and flooding can allow water to enter your property, saturating carpets, floors, and walls, creating the perfect environment for mould to grow.
- Burst Pipes: Sudden pipe bursts can lead to significant water damage, causing water to seep into walls and underfloor areas, promoting mould growth.
- Leaky Roofs: Roof leaks can lead to water damage inside your property, which, if not addressed promptly, can cause mould to form.
- High Humidity: In humid conditions, moisture can accumulate in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas with poor ventilation, creating ideal conditions for mould growth.
- Sewage Backup: Contaminated water from sewage backups can lead to the rapid growth of harmful moulds, requiring immediate professional remediation.
If you’ve experienced any of these issues, mould could be growing in hidden areas of your property. Taking immediate action with professional mould removal is essential to avoid the spread of contamination and protect your health.
How Mould Removal Works
Our mould remediation process is thorough, detailed, and designed to restore your property to its original state. Here’s how we approach mould removal:
- Inspection and Assessment: We begin by carefully inspecting your property to identify the areas affected by water damage and mould growth. Our team uses state-of-the-art moisture detection equipment to pinpoint hidden water sources that may be contributing to the mould problem.
- Containment: To prevent mould spores from spreading during the removal process, we set up containment barriers around the affected areas. This ensures that the rest of your property remains safe while we work.
- Mould Removal: Using specialised tools, we remove all visible mould from your property. This includes scrubbing surfaces, cleaning carpets, and sanitising hard-to-reach areas like ceilings, walls, and underfloor spaces.
- Water Extraction and Drying: Effective water damage restoration is crucial to prevent mould recurrence. We extract any remaining water and use advanced drying techniques to remove moisture from affected areas. This step is essential to ensure mould does not return.
- Dehumidification: Once the water has been removed, we use industrial-grade dehumidifiers to maintain optimal humidity levels in your property. This is a key factor in preventing future mould growth.
- Final Inspection and Treatment: After the mould removal process is complete, we conduct a thorough final inspection. Any remaining moisture is addressed, and we apply antimicrobial treatments to ensure that mould spores are eradicated, leaving your property clean and safe.
By following this detailed process, we ensure that mould is not only removed but that the conditions for future growth are eliminated.
