Black Mould Remediation

UES black mould remediation program is based on a multi-disciplinary approach.

Black Mould Treatment and Remediation throughout Wellington and New Zealand

Mould can grow on most building materials and may not always be visible, as it often occurs behind walls, tiles or wallpaper, under ceilings, floors and carpets, inside furniture or heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Office, public and residential build¬ings may develop moisture and dampness problems from leaks, high indoor humidity, and flooding, which can in turn weaken walls, floors and window frames. If mould accumulates in building interior, it can damage the building structures, materials and furnishings leading to serious health and financial risks, expensive maintenance and management costs, unpleasant odours. Our black mould remediation process can prevent hazardous exposure.

Do you know what you're breathing?

Mould releases thousands of tiny spores, toxic mycotoxins and volatile metabolits into the air which if inhaled, ingested or contacted through skin may trigger allergic reactions and respiratory diseases such as asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, rhinosinus¬itis, bronchitis, and respiratory infections. Many mycotoxins are immunotoxic, some can cause DNA damage, and several are considered as potent carcinogens. Individual responses to mould varies, but medical research proves that exposure to dampness and mould in the building increases the risk of respiratory problems 30 to 50%, especially among vulnerable groups such as infants, children or elderly people.

Toxic Effects

Modern world forces us to spend most of our time indoors, and as we move between our homes, offices, schools, health care facilities, and other buildings, the quality of air we breathe largely defines our state of health and wellbeing. In damp, poorly ventilated buildings, colonies of mould consisting of various microscopic fungi species may start to grow and spread.

Mould indicators

Elevated humidity, dampness or condensation readings.

Perceived mouldy/earthy odour.

Visible mould growth.

Presence of standing water.

Documented building history of water incursion/mould growth.

Health symptoms of mould-associated reactions or disease.

Cost of delay

Any mould or dampness problems in the buildings must be regularly monitored, rapidly corrected and remediated as soon as they are identified. Any delay can afflict health of the building occupants, lead to financial losses from relocation of employees or residents, paid sick leave, health rehabilitation compensations, decreased productivity, consultant evaluations, litigation, extensive costs for repair or replacement of damaged structures and building materials.
