How to Prevent Mould Growth in Your Home

Causes of Mould Growth

1. Excess Moisture

Leaking pipes, roof leaks, or condensation can create the perfect environment for mould to thrive. Identifying and fixing these moisture sources is the first step in prevention.

2. Poor Ventilation

A lack of airflow in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements can lead to high humidity, encouraging mould growth. Installing ventilation systems or using dehumidifiers can help.

3. Damp Surfaces

Mould often grows on damp walls, ceilings, and carpets. Regular cleaning and drying of these surfaces are crucial to keeping mould at bay.

4. Neglected Drainage Systems

Blocked gutters and improper drainage around your home can cause water accumulation, increasing the risk of mould. Keeping your drainage system clear is essential.

Effective Ways to Prevent Mould Growth

Fix Leaks Promptly: Address any plumbing or roofing leaks immediately.
Improve Air Circulation: Open windows and doors regularly to let fresh air in.
Use Mould-Resistant Paints: These help prevent mould from forming on walls.
Keep Humidity Levels Low: Use dehumidifiers to maintain indoor humidity below 50%.
Clean and Disinfect Regularly: Wipe down surfaces with anti-mould solutions.
