Mould is spread through spores and if there is mould present, then there will be mould spores. Part of our process is to treat all rooms in your home for mould spores in the air. The reason is to try to prevent mould from spreading into other rooms, we will also offer some advice on trying to reduce the chance of mould recurring. How we do this is through “fogging” When a Goldmorr Master Technician refers to fogging, it is the process by which the GM2000 is applied within your dwelling. The product is misted by use of a spray device and so can gain far greater and more consistent coverage of an entire home, similar to the steam created when you have a hot shower.

Why fog the whole house? It is simple – because mould spores spread. They are carried on your clothing as well as being present in the air. If the entire dwelling is not fogged, then the mould will return in other rooms under the right conditions. The bottom line here is that we can confidently use GM2000 knowing that you are extremely unlikely to have any reaction to it. It is not going to harm any of your furnishings either. We have performed many treatments with occupants who suffer with such ailments as asthma and multiple sclerosis and others going through chemotherapy. All have reported improvements in their own wellbeing following mould removal and fogging, with a lot of clients opting for an annual fog regardless of the fact that mould may not be present.

Mould can pose a serious health risk. As mould grows indoors it releases spores into the air. The health effects associated with these spores may include runny nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion, aggravation of asthma and respiratory problems, headache, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, skin rash and other allergic reactions.

Those responsible for building maintenance or the health and safety of building occupants, including property managers, have a duty of care where mould is concerned. Property Managers have a “duty of care” to take mould seriously. “Sometimes it can be difficult to establish just why mould is present. If you are in doubt, call in an expert.”“Remember, you must never ignore mould! Doing nothing is not an option as the mould will simply grow and spread.”

Mould growth can impair the normal function of equipment such as air conditioners and refrigeration units. It can stain and rot furnishings and cause structural damage to buildings.
