What should you do if you discover mould in your home or business?

Mould growth is a common problem in many buildings in northern England. And black mould is particularly concerning.  If you are dealing with mould in your home or business, it’s important to seek out professional mould removal services, like you’ll find at Northern Restorations.  

Our highly trained professional mould removers have the expertise and equipment necessary to safely and effectively eradicate mould from your home or business. We’ll identify the root cause of your mould problem and take steps to prevent it from recurring in the future.

Types of mould typically found in homes

There are several varieties of mould that grow in buildings. They are usually categorised by their colour:  green, black, white, orange, and blue. 

 

  • Green mould (Cladosporium, Aspergillus or Penicillium) can eat away at your paint and release potentially hazardous spores into the air. It’s common in many UK structures, usually found growing on damp walls, inside cupboards, underneath carpets, and on damp fabrics and mattresses.

 

  • White mould is often mistaken for crystalline salt deposits, white mould is often found on damp wood. It occurs when water leaves behind salt deposits.  

 

  • Blue mould is commonly found  in a household’s wetter rooms, such as bathrooms. Shower steam creates the ideal moist environment for this type of mould to grow.

 

  • Black mould (Stachybotrys chartarum) is perhaps the most notorious of all. Toxic black mould can have serious implications on your health. If you find this in your home or business, call a professional mould remover as soon as possible.

Why is black mould so dangerous

Why is black mould so dangerous?

Any mould can be harmful to your health. But black mould may be the worst. It produces mycotoxins that can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion and even through the eyes.

It’s a type of fungus that thrives in damp and humid environments. It can be found in areas with high moisture levels, such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, windows, greenhouses, conservatories, solariums, unventilated closets, mudrooms, front entrances, and decks. It can also grow in hard-to-access areas, such as inside walls and under carpets, which makes it difficult to detect and remove without professional help.

Not only unsightly, mould growth can be a serious health hazard, causing respiratory problems, allergies, and other ailments. As any fungus, it spreads through airborne spores; if inhaled they can cause a variety of health issues. Symptoms may include coughing, wheezing, persistent fatigue, eye and throat irritation, runny nose, headaches, skin irritation, rashes, nausea, difficulty breathing, asthma attacks, and nosebleeds.

Exposure to black mould can also lead to more serious health problems, such as neurological symptoms and even death. The severity of health risk varies according to the amount of exposure. People with weakened immune systems, however, are especially at risk.

Left unchecked, mould can also cause structural damage, destroying property. That’s why it’s important to seek out mould removal services to remove black mould and prevent its recurrence.

When should you call a professional mould remover?

When should you call a professional mould remover?

Mould can occur whenever you have high humidity, a lack of ventilation, floods, water damage, pipe leaks, or excessive condensation. If you see signs of growth, take actions to remove the mould promptly. In many cases such as roof leaks or burst pipes in interior walls, mould growth may be out of sight. If you have a leak or water damage, consult with a professional to see if black mould removal is recommended.  

At Northern Restorations, our mould removal professionals use a variety of methods to safely and effectively remove black mould from your home or business. Our services include: 

  • Free home consultation and Inspection: Our experts will help you identify the root cause of your mould problem and suggest the necessary steps to address it. If you’re unsure of the extent of the mould you have, we can provide testing. But at Northern Restorations, our philosophy is, if you see mould, you don’t need to spend money to test. We don’t believe you should ignore any mould. So, if you see it, let us help you remove it. 

  • Fixing the root cause: Removing mould alone will do you little good if the moisture and water damage will continue to occur. We can help you stop mould in its tracks. This may involve fixing leaks, improving ventilation, cleaning your HVAC system, or making other changes to the affected area to prevent moisture buildup and mould growth.

  • Professional mould removal: Once the root cause of your mould problem has been addressed, our expert mould removers will get to work safely, quickly, and effectively ridding your home or business of suspected mould growth. We use a variety of removal techniques, including high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums, in accordance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) guidelines. 

  • Mould remediation services: Once the mould is removed, we’ll get to work cleaning, sanitising, and deodorising all affected areas to help ensure that mould does not return. This can include applying fungicide sprays and using ultra-low volume (ULV) fogging machines to make sure mould has no further foothold to grow.  

  • State-of-the-art monitoring: With easy-to-understand data, our monitoring system can help keep you up to date on progress and help avoid future trouble spots. 

Our HEPA vacuums are designed to filter and capture particulates as small as 0.3 microns, essentially eradicating your building of mould spores.
