Mould Risks and Causes


Exposure to mould can lead to common symptoms such as breathing difficulties, persistent coughing, and irritation of the eyes, throat, and respiratory system. Individuals at a higher risk of experiencing health issues due to mould exposure include those with asthma, allergies, underlying health conditions, young children, and elderly individuals.

Numerous factors contribute to the growth of mould, including elevated moisture levels, instances of flooding, plumbing problems, HVAC system malfunctions, roof and window leaks, inadequate ventilation, and the age of the building. Additionally, specific construction materials like particleboard, drywall, and plywood create ideal conditions for mould growth. Recognizing these indicators and risk factors empowers property owners to proactively address mould-related concerns.
