Mould Remediation New Zealand

Numerous types of toxic mould are linked to diseases, allergies, and infections affecting both humans and animals. So, tackling it should be your primary concern at the first sign of mould. Typically, mould presence signifies a larger water damage issue resulting from leaky pipes, poor plumbing, or flood damage, and so on. If you suspect a mould problem in your house, get in touch with Restoration Experts immediately. We will handle this for you.

Mould Remediation Service


Mould is a type of fungus that naturally exists in our environment. When mould spores land on damp surfaces, they begin to spread and colonize. Mould is essential for decomposing organic matter. While complete mould prevention may be impossible, controlling it is feasible through moisture management in the area. Since mould growth predominantly occurs in damp areas, maintaining dryness in your property can help avert any infestations.

You’re likely to find mould in your home if you have a humid area. Mould often thrives in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements since these areas consistently provide the moist conditions that mould favours. Materials like drywall, wooden panelling, ceiling tiles, mattresses, and many others can host mould growth.

Cause Of Mould Growth

Mould generally signifies a broader water damage issue on your property. With indoor materials already possessing high organic matter content, pairing this with moisture encourages mould to multiply. Here are some common triggers for mould growth:

A continuous moisture source, such as a leaky pipe or poor drainage leading to water accumulation in a certain area.
Constant high humidity resulting from steam or humid weather conditions.
Leaky ceilings due to rainfall or flooding.
Water or flood damage that wasn't thoroughly dried.
An inefficient air conditioning drainage system.

Black Mould and its Harmful Effects


Black mould is the most toxic type of indoor mould and poses various health risks. It's recognizable by its greenish-black hue and a potent, musty smell in the affected area. Black mould is primarily caused by category 3 flooding involving 'black water' laden with contaminants. This could include sewage water, rainwater, or seawater. However, black mould can grow simply because of high moisture levels, similar to other kinds of mould.
Black mould is perilous to health, leading to a range of negative health impacts, including:
Triggering allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and infections.
Exacerbating allergies and other symptoms in individuals with weak immunity.
Proving more detrimental to children and adults.
Long-term exposure can lead to serious respiratory issues.
Causing discoloration and cosmetic damage.
Like all mould types, black mould breaks down organic materials like wood, paint, and drywall.
Detection of black mould can sometimes pose challenges; therefore, it's advisable to leave it to the trained eye of professionals. Experienced black mould removal services handle toxic black mould, ensuring you remain protected from prolonged exposure.

Mould Remediation Process

Mould can be immensely damaging to your property and internal structures if it's not addressed swiftly. If neglected, mould can deteriorate wood, drywall, and other building materials. This could lead to structural problems causing the crumble of the structure and other materials. Persistent exposure to mould can also pose serious health threats. Mould remediation is an extensive process incorporating mould treatment and cleaning services. This ensures that mould does not reappear due to latent moisture issues. Mould remediation is a complex and often high-risk procedure which is ideally handled by professionals. Here's the method we employ for our mould remediation process:

First Step
Fix the Moisture Source
Mould proliferation is intrinsically linked to a consistent source of moisture. As long as this moisture source persists, mould will keep coming back, even after repeated removals. Be it a ruptured pipe, a leaky ceiling or excess room humidity, this source needs to be addressed before mould elimination to avert future outbreaks. We collaborate with plumbers and builders to identify moisture sources and expertly manage this moisture using proven techniques. We also apply water damage restoration techniques to rid damp areas.

Second Step
Remove the Mould
Once the moisture source is rectified, we initiate the mould remediation process. The mould-infected area is isolated to hinder cross-contamination. After setting up temporary containment and installing negative pressure units, we're ready to remove the mould. Often, porous materials, such as wood, drywall, and carpets, need to be wholly replaced. Materials tainted by mould must be disposed of to prevent future growth.

Third Step
Disinfect and deodorise
Next, we HEPA vacuum and disinfect furnishings, clothing, and other items to remove any trace of mould spores that could foster mould regrowth. We might employ air filtration equipment to curtail mould spores in the air and enhance air quality. Deodorizing affected areas can eliminate the musty smell of mould. If required, we can also utilize ozone and hydroxyl generators.

Fourth Step
Restore and Refinish
Finally, the mould remediation process concludes with the restoration of the affected area to its original condition. This may involve replacing drywall, installing new carpeting or tiles, and repainting walls and ceilings.
