Newcastle’s coastal climate, humid summers and damp winters create ideal conditions for mould to grow. What starts as a musty smell or a small patch on a wall can quickly spread into ceilings, carpets, timber and hidden cavities. Left untreated, mould can affect indoor air quality, damage building materials and lead to ongoing health concerns for occupants.Common mould types found in homes and buildings include Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Stachybotrys chartarum, often referred to as black mould. Exposure can contribute to coughing, wheezing, headaches, skin irritation and aggravated asthma, particularly for children, older adults and anyone with existing respiratory conditions.
Signs you may need mould removal
- Musty or damp odours that do not go away
- Visible spots or staining on walls, ceilings, carpets or window frames
- Peeling paint, condensation or signs of water damage
- Mould that keeps returning after cleaning
- Health symptoms that seem worse indoors
DIY vs professional mould removal
Minor surface mould may sometimes be cleaned safely with the right protective equipment, approved products and thorough drying. However, professional mould remediation is strongly recommended when:
- The affected area is larger than 1 square metre
- Mould keeps returning
- There is a history of leaks, flooding or moisture problems
- The source of the mould is not visible
- Occupants are experiencing ongoing health symptoms
Professional mould removal goes beyond surface cleaning. Nanoclean uses moisture diagnostics, detailed inspections and practical remediation methods to identify the source of the problem, remove visible and hidden mould, and reduce the risk of recurrence.
How to help prevent mould returning
- Keep indoor humidity below 50% where possible (can link out to air quality page somewhere here - I can revisit that later thought)
- Use exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries
- Inspect roofs, gutters, windows and plumbing for leaks
- Dry water damaged materials quickly
- Improve ventilation in damp or enclosed areas
- Book a professional inspection if odours or mould keep coming back
