Dilvin Yasa, 37, and her two daughters were constantly sick. She wheezed at night. Her husband’s asthma worsened. The girls kept coughing. At first, Dilvin blamed dust, pollution, or childcare bugs.
Even though the bedroom smelled musty, nothing looked wrong. She checked walls, ceilings, and furniture, but found no mould. Yet, her symptoms kept growing: chest infections, headaches, fatigue, even changes to her menstrual cycle.
Soon, her mental health began to suffer. Sleep became impossible. Her emotions felt out of control. Still, she had no idea what was causing it.
Eventually, she found the clue, a dress buried in her wardrobe, spotted with mould. That’s when she called in the experts. They discovered mould under the bed, inside drawers, and even in her children’s room.
After a poorly handled clean-up, she landed in hospital with pneumonia. Her daughters also developed chest infections. But once they moved out of the house, everything changed.
The family’s symptoms disappeared. Breathing returned to normal. Energy came back. Even sleep improved.
Thanks to insurance, the home was professionally treated. They replaced furniture, deep-cleaned clothes, and used proper containment measures. Now, Dilvin takes mould seriously.
She leaves windows open, uses dehumidifiers, and checks humidity weekly.
This experience taught her a hard truth: mould hides well and it can make you seriously sick. If your home smells musty or you feel constantly unwell, it’s time to get your property checked.
