Find the moisture source
- Mould conditions are not resolved by surface cleaning alone if moisture continues.
- Leaks, condensation, humidity and hidden wet materials should be considered.
Mould guide
Mould After Water Damage
How unresolved moisture can contribute to mould growth and why source control, containment and removal planning matter.
Control the work area
- Containment and air filtration may be appropriate depending on the extent and location.
- Disturbing affected materials can spread particles.
Decide what can be cleaned
- Porous and non-porous materials respond differently.
- Removal decisions should be based on actual conditions, not colour alone.
Dry and verify
- The moisture condition should be corrected as part of the remediation plan.
