Mould Control in Angus (1)

Mildew is a common mould that poses fewer health risks. However, prolonged exposure can lead to coughing, headaches, sore throats, and respiratory problems.

White mould can cause allergy symptoms for those with asthma or weakened immune systems.

Black mould is hazardous because it releases mycotoxins that are harmful to people with weakened immune systems, asthma, or allergies.

Look out for these signs of toxic mould:

• Mould with a grayish, soot-like texture

• Walls with a slimy, wet surface

• Furry orange or brown spots on surfaces

Even if the mould doesn’t seem to be causing health issues, its presence suggests underlying moisture issues, such as damp or leaks.

Getting to the cause reduces the chance of mould returning. Look for common causes, including excess moisture, leaks, and condensation from poor ventilation.

You can remove small mould patches with water and mild detergent, or specialist mould removal products. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
