We will detect and isolate mould quickly, and suggest the best solutions for treating the problem.
Mould is a serious problem in New Zealand homes: Surveys show that 50% of homes suffer from mould of some kind. Not only does mould cause damage, but some moulds are toxic and pose serious health risks. We examine the underlying causes of the mould issue, and offer effective solutions for eradicating the mould permanently.
Mould growth occurs due to excess moisture in or on building components. This excess moisture not only causes mould growth but can also affect the corrosion rate of fasteners and cause rot in timber and as such can have structural implications. Simply removing the mould and considering the problem fixed is naïve – the mould will return relatively quickly as long as the root cause of the excess moisture is left unaddressed.
We apply a combination of technology and experience to investigate, assess, and classify mould issues. We track down the underlying cause of the moisture, and advise on or conduct the removal of the potentially toxic mould. We apply the best local and European practises to ensure that the mould removal is safe, efficient, and permanent.
