The impact of mould on health and productivity
Mould is proven to have a detrimental effect on health with measurable impact on productivity.
The effects may include:
Skin rashes, thrush and ringworm
Runny, itchy eyes and conjunctivitis
Poor concentration and irritability, anger and depression
Developed hypersensitivity
Asthma and asthma like symptoms, such as a persistent cough
Food contamination
What is the right mould treatment method?
Getting the right advice and treatment solution for dealing with mould is essential. Some of the options used for mould cleaning are either not effective, or can cause damage to the surfaces cleaned. In some cases, they do both. However more importantly, many are chemical based and proven to be detrimental to health.
It is important to note that bleach is not effective in treating mould. Read Why say NO to bleach for details on the reasons why.

Mould… the seen and unseen
Visible mould
Some mould is easy to notice… with some varieties particularly noticeable on walls and ceilings.
However, mould can sometimes be ‘smelt’ and not seen, growing as a thin layer on many surfaces in the home.
If you or your family are suffering any of the effects noted OR you can just “smell” mould, call us to arrange an inspection and a quote to rid mould from the inside and/or the outside of your home.
‘Hidden’ mould
Duct Cleaning – A key to effective mould remediation
As mould spores are airborne, effective remediation must include cleaning of all effected ducting. If this step is neglected, mould spores still in the ducting will quickly be reintroduced into the cleaned areas.
Being a full service provider, Ducted Air Solutions can help you not only resolve mould issues, but also prevent future contamination. This provides not only a better solution to the issue, but will ensure sustained value from the services provided.
