What Causes Moulds?

What Causes Moulds?

Mould is caused by moisture and can quickly become a serious problem if left unchecked or neglected. Whether it’s from a leak, condensation, or flooding, excess moisture can create a perfect environment for mould to grow. It thrives in damp, dark, and poorly ventilated areas—often out of sight—such as behind walls, under carpets, or inside ceilings. Once mould settles in, it can spread rapidly, affecting indoor air quality and potentially triggering health issues. That is why hiring a professional mould removal service is crucial.

In cases of water damage or flooding, the best course of action is to call a reliable flood restoration company. If your home has flood insurance, Auckland Steam ‘n’ Dry can assist you with the insurance process, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

Mould Infestation

Even after floodwaters have receded and a property appears dry, hidden moisture can remain trapped in walls, floors, and furnishings. That’s why it’s not enough to just clean up surface water. Without proper drying, your home or business could still be at risk of a serious mould infestation developing behind the scenes.
