On the trail of moisture and mould
Damp and mould in properties are a widespread problem today. If damp and the often resulting mould growth have spread in a property, remedial action must be taken as quickly as possible.
It is important to find the cause of any infestation, as damp or mould growth does not necessarily have to be caused by structural damage or defects. Incorrect usage behaviour on the part of the occupants is often the trigger, as how much and how often ventilation is provided may play a decisive role.
With the moisture and mould check and a possible resulting expert opinion, the background to the damage can be clearly shown, as the whole thing often ends in a legal dispute between tenants and landlords.
Why is the check useful?
- Mould infestation can cause health problems such as asthma and allergies, especially in children or people with weakened immune systems.
- Structural damage to the property can be caused by penetrating moisture and mould or hidden mould.
The moisture and mould check provides information about the damage pattern and the presumption of damage.
Our tip: It makes sense to carry out a moisture and mould check as a precautionary measure. This will reveal weak points, prevent the causes of mould growth and avoid disputes.
Moisture and mould check procedure
The moisture and mould check is an initial assessment and often helps to prevent a legal dispute, e.g. between tenant and landlord. The cause of the problem is thoroughly investigated by an expert on site.
Procedure:
- Inspection of the property
- Measurements on the affected surfaces and classification of the mould
- Measurement of temperature and relative humidity
- Advice and user instructions
- Report
