Mould Abatement



mould abatement

Mould is present everywhere - they exist indoors as well as outdoors. They are a boon for nature, as they aid in decomposing dead matter such as dead vegetation. They reproduce through tiny seeds called spores which are invisible to the naked eye and travel through the medium of air from one place to another.

Mould thrives under humid conditions. Moisture is helpful for mould to grow and multiply into colonies. If the contact between mould and moisture occurs indoors in a domestic area, then it results in mould problems for the household. 

Mould produces a near-repulsive musty odour. Nevertheless, it is hard to detect the source of mould. Mould can sneak into the rear of wallpapers or panelling, the underside of carpets, inside ductwork and roof tiles – practically any nook and cranny which it can find. The reason for mould to flourish in domestic conditions is that the domestic indoor materials are capable of moisture retention, providing an excellent soil for mould to thrive. 

Mould does not require a long time to spread. In as little as 48 hours, mould can spread through the property like wildfire, bringing damage and nuisance. Not only does it affect the walls, windows and furniture of one’s house, it also poses a serious health risk for the inmates. Mould exposure can cause conditions such as coughing, eye irritation, skin rashes, headache, sneezing, throat irritation, nasal congestion and respiratory problems. Besides these allergic and irritable conditions, mould can also produce mycotoxins, which can be potentially hazardous for health. For people suffering from asthma, the presence of mould cause asthma attacks.

The dilemma of mould abatement translates into moisture control.
  • Not only the mouldy surface needs to be cleared, but promptly fixing any water problem is also essential to prevent further outbreaks in the future. 
  •  Make sure that the roof, gutters, pipes, AC drip pans and pipes are all functioning properly without any water leakage or retention. 
  • It is important to let moisture produced from various sources (clothes dryers, stoves, heaters) go out of your house.
  • Use exhaust fans in places such as kitchen and bathroom.
  • It is wise to use air conditioners or dehumidifiers when needed.

Dry Ice Blasting - Benefits

Dry Ice Blasting is recently becoming the latest refuge for cleaning heavy machinery. It is solid carbon dioxide. In Dry Ice Blasting, dry ice is sprayed through a stream of pressurised air on to the object that needs to be cleaned.

Some benefits of Dry Ice Blasting.

  • Less efforts required : Some traditional cleaning methods require disassembling of equipment in order to clean inaccessible parts. Dry Ice Blasting saves you from this disassembling job. As dry ice blasting can be carried out in any weather condition, less effort is required.
  • Quick and thoroughDry Ice Blasting is a quick process. The air stream passes through each and every part in a jiffy, cleaning it thoroughly. It reduces the amount of time required for cleaning considerably. 
  • No damage caused to the equipmentDry ice is non-abrasive in nature. Hence, no damage is caused to the equipment that is cleaned. Also, since dry ice blasting doesn’t demand disassembly of parts, the danger of re-attaching parts improperly is also averted.
  • No waste residue is leftDry ice blasting doesn’t leave any residue, as the CO2 pellets vaporise on contact. There is a no waste produced; thereby solving the problem of waste disposal.
  • Increased safety Dry ice is non-hazardous and non-toxic in nature. No residue is left once the entire blasting process is carried out. It is safe for people, as well as for the environment.
