Typical infestations are found in any moist areas. Humidity, the leaving of leaks unattended and any accumulation of moisture can give rise to infestations on your property.

Black mould spores are toxic and their presence can be lethal. The infestation can cause anything from mild allergic reaction to severe toxic reaction. Whatever the nature of the spores they are considered a health hazard that should be evaded or removed once detected. One would normally associate infestation with old, musty, untidy homes but that may not always be true. As the presence of moisture is all that is required to promote the growth and spread of spores even the squeaky clean setting of a brand new home is prone to infestation if there is dampness in the air and the smallest amount of contamination by spores. Bathrooms are very vulnerable as the mould harbours onto the grout lines and multiply in the silicon seals. Black mould in the bathroom might prove fatal. There are a few remedial measures you can take to remove mould infestations from bathrooms: 1. Leave windows and vents open to remove moisture 2.
