What causes mould in our homes?
Mould is caused by excess moisture. This needs to be controlled in order to have any hope of controlling the mould. Sometimes it can be just dampness in walls and carpets, lack of ventilation or even a cracked pipe that we are not aware of. Mould will grow anywhere there is an organic food source such as timber or gyprock.
What are the risks of mould?
Mould can cause serious health problems. Moulds can produce allergens, irritants, and even potentially toxic substances called mycotoxins which can cause at the very least sneezing, runny nose, and rash. However, for those with asthma, the breathing problems can be far more severe, and over time, these spores can actually cause serious long term effects and even long term disease, especially in children.
