Mould removal in Havant homes
Black mould is a symptom rather than the problem. In the large majority of Havant homes it grows because moist air has nowhere to go, not because there is a leak. That is why mould removal which only cleans the surface buys you a few weeks and nothing more.
Why the mould keeps coming back
Mould needs three things: moisture, a cool surface and something to feed on. Ordinary living supplies the moisture. Cooking, washing, drying clothes indoors and simply breathing put several litres of water into the air of a typical home every day.
In winter that air meets cold external walls, window reveals and the corners behind furniture, condenses there, and mould takes hold on the dust and paint. Wipe it off and the conditions are unchanged, so it returns in the same places. Lasting mould removal has to change the conditions.
Is black mould actually dangerous?
It is worth taking seriously rather than panicking about. Persistent mould is a genuine problem in bedrooms and for anyone with asthma, allergies or a weakened immune system, and it is a recognised hazard in rented housing.
For most healthy adults an occasional patch around a window is an irritation rather than an emergency. Either way it tells you the property is holding more moisture than it can shed, and that is worth fixing before it works into plaster and timber.
What professional mould removal involves
Professional mould removal runs in three stages. First a survey with moisture readings and humidity checks, to confirm it is condensation rather than a leak, penetrating damp or a failed damp proof course.
Second the treatment: affected surfaces are cleaned and treated with a fungicidal wash rather than painted over, and badly contaminated decoration is taken off. Third, and the stage that decides whether it returns, we deal with the moisture itself. That may mean an extractor which actually vents outside, trickle vents, or a positive input ventilation unit for the whole house.
Mould removal cost in Havant
Mould removal services are priced on what is causing the problem, not by the square metre. Treating one bedroom wall and fitting a decent extractor is a modest job. A whole-house humidity problem needing ventilation, replastering and redecoration is a considerably bigger one.
We survey the Havant property free of charge and quote the treatment and the ventilation work separately in writing, so you can see what is clearing the mould and what is stopping it coming back.
