Mould and Damp Proofing

Mould and damp proofing is more than just an unsightly nuisance, it’s a serious hazard that can affect both your health and property.

It can lead to a range of health issues like irritation in the throat and skin, lung damage, congestion in the nasal passage, feelings of nausea, and dizziness.

Certain groups, such as the elderly, infants, children, people with skin or respiratory problems, and those with weakened immune systems, are more susceptible to these effects.

Pets and other animals can also suffer health issues due to mould.

Moreover, mould doesn’t just harm living beings, it can wreak havoc on your property too.

It can damage all surfaces it comes into contact with, including walls, ceilings, and furnishings.

Over time, if mould grows on a structural part of your property, it can even weaken the structure.

DIY attempts to remove mould can often be ineffective.

This is because they typically only clean the surface mould, leaving behind spores and roots that allow mould to grow back.

Professional mould and damp proofing services, however, use specialized equipment and chemicals.

This along with their experience and knowledge, to eradicate mould completely and prevent its recurrence.
