Mould appears everywhere, even in the most unlikely places.

Depending on the type of mould, the air around the mould can potentially be very dangerous to breathe in, as mould releases microspores into the air that can infect our lungs. Book a mould inspection and let our trained specialists identify sources of mould growth in your home or office.

Moisture: The biggest culprit

Understanding moisture levels in your home is vital to seeking out the root cause of mould growth.

Common moisture sources

Weather

Singapore's wet and hot weather results in a very humid atmosphere. The mean annual relative humidity in Singapore is 83.9%, frequently reaching 100% during rainy seasons. Water vapour in the air easily condenses on surfaces in our homes and this encourages mould growth.

Plumbing

Bad plumbing or old pipes could cause leakage, resulting in soaked walls or ceilings, which are prime locations for mould to grow.

Ground water

Subsurface intrusion by ground water could cause water to seep into floors and cause mould to grow. Occurs more commonly in landed properties.

Water points

Taps, drains, sinks, showers, bath tubs are where water is designed to flow. As such, moisture can seep into the furniture around these water points, encouraging mould growth.

Condensation

The difference in temperature inside and outside a cold room could cause condensation to form on the walls and door frames, encouraging mould growth.

Air Conditioning

Air Conditioning Units frequently have condensation issues, due to poor insulation or trunking, resulting in leaks. This could cause mould to grow under, or behind the ACUs.

Structural faults

Structural damages or badly constructed buildings could cause rainwater to flow into the ceilings of buildings, frequently occurring in landed properties or penthouses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mould issues can often be identified by a few tell-tale signs. Look out for visible mould growth, which can appear in various colours like black, green, or white. Additionally, a persistent musty odour is a strong indicator of mould presence. Other signs include water stains on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, and increased humidity levels in your home. Regular mould assessment and inspection can help catch these problems early, preventing extensive damage and health issues.

The frequency of mould inspections depends on several factors, such as your location, the age of your property, and any past mould issues. Generally, it's advisable to conduct a mould assessment annually. However, in a humid climate like Singapore or if you have experienced water damage, you might need more frequent inspections. Consistent mould inspections help in early detection and remediation, ensuring your home remains mould-free.

During a professional mould inspection, our experts will conduct a thorough assessment of your property. This includes visually inspecting areas prone to mould growth, such as basements, bathrooms, and attics. They may also use specialised equipment to detect hidden mould and measure moisture levels. After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed report outlining any findings and recommended actions. This comprehensive approach ensures that all potential mould issues are identified and effectively addressed.
