What is Mould?
Mould is a common issue often underestimated, yet it poses significant risks to both property and health. Understanding its causes and dangers is vital for effective prevention and mitigation.
Mould thrives in environments with excess moisture, primarily due to dampness caused by factors such as leaky roofs, plumbing issues, inadequate ventilation, and elevated humidity levels. Porous materials like wood, drywall, and carpeting provide ideal organic surfaces for mould growth.
Health Risks & Damage
The dangers of mould encompass various health risks, including persistent coughing, sneezing, skin rashes, and exacerbated respiratory conditions—especially concerning for individuals with allergies or asthma. Some moulds produce mycotoxins, which, when ingested or inhaled, can have toxic effects on the body.
Furthermore, mould can silently inflict structural damage on buildings by deteriorating organic materials, compromising the integrity of walls, floors, and ceilings, often resulting in costly repairs. Left unchecked, mold can rapidly spread throughout a property, escalating into a more extensive and challenging problem.
What is Electrostatic Fogging?
Electrostatic mould fogging is an advanced technique designed to combat mould and mildew growth within indoor environments. This innovative process harnesses the power of electrostatic technology to disperse a fine mist of antimicrobial agents or disinfectants. The electrostatic charge applied to the droplets makes them highly effective at covering surfaces evenly, even hard-to-reach spots, which is crucial in mould prevention and remediation.
This method has proven particularly advantageous in mould-prone areas such as homes, healthcare facilities, and industrial settings. It not only ensures thorough coverage but also minimises the amount of chemicals used, making it an eco-friendly solution. Electrostatic mould fogging has become a pivotal tool in maintaining clean and mould-free spaces, offering a safe and efficient way to combat this persistent issue.
How it Works
Electrostatic fogging, a disinfection method, employs electrically charged particles to evenly distribute a disinfectant over surfaces. The liquid disinfectant is charged as it passes through a specialised sprayer, creating positively charged droplets. These droplets, repelled by each other, adhere to negatively charged surfaces, ensuring comprehensive coverage. This technology increases contact time, enhances effectiveness, and reduces waste compared to traditional methods. Electrostatic fogging is a time-efficient solution for large spaces, making it valuable in healthcare, education, and public settings.
Really found the team to be honest, upfront and very well trained in how to work in peoples homes. Great work. Regards J.
“First class job done by two great tradesmen!”
The Home Building & Surveying Company were excellent in all departments – professional, reliable, well-informed. They resolved multiple residential issues with minimal fuss and would definitely use them again, though fingers crossed I shouldn’t need to!
Good lads, grafted hard and done a good job.
Great work on a damp proof course and other bits and pieces. Arrived on time and knew exactly what to do. Leagues above the other quotes. Hope I don’t need you again but would be happy to recommend.
“Thanks to Franky, Daniel & Sonny for all their hard work. They have worked beyond expectation”
Nathan and Kris were on time, professional and got the job done as quick as possible without missing a spot. Would highly recommend.
Excellent work, professional team, left clean and tidy. Very impressed with the work.
Job well done, new damp course and replastering completed. Paul and Dean were excellent, tidy and kept me updated throughout.
Very happy with the work Home Building carried out at my property, very knowledge, competitive and friendly. Thanks for the hard work of your installers too they did a great job! Thanks again
Booked in quickly and survey was much more in depth then expected. Felt very comfortable in our decision and was a notch above the rest.
Great company from initial call to completion. Gave quote with no hidden extras, started and finished on time – the finished product looks great. Kris & Nathan were stars of the show, arrived on time, worked hard all day, polite and personable, cleaned up when finished, a credit to the company.
Spoke to a very polite and friendly chap called Jack on the phone who explained all about the exterior painting they do, and I decided to have a survey. The surveyor Stuart was very knowledgeable, and I’ve decided to go ahead with them. There’s too many cowboys out there, so it’s nice to see such professionalism from a company for once.
“I am very pleased with the work done from the initial survey to completion of the damp treatment. I would like to particularly commend Josh & Joe as a team they were courteous, efficient & professional in their workmanship”
I was very please with the work the company has done. I had damp throughout the house so had damp-proofing including an injection of damp course. Given the extent of the job they completed the work efficiently and with minimum disruption. The workmen were always polite and very helpful. The finished work was excellent. Only time will tell if the damp problem has been sorted but the company made it they would come back to fix any issues. I have no doubt they are true to their word and would recommend them to anyone.
Had a meeting with their surveyor Andrew yesterday 15/02/2022. I have to say he was very professional. Very happy with the quote we have been given and hoping to go ahead with the work early summer. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
Immaculate, efficient service, it wasn’t a big deal for Luke and his team. Keep up the Good work. Highly recommended.
I spoke to Jack on the phone, who was very friendly and professional. Then James performed our survey. I found James and the experience with the Home Building & Surveying Company very refreshing, compared to others I have used in the past. They were very honest in their assessment and responses, with no hidden extras, providing very valuable advice. I am, and will in the future recommend them to anyone with damp challenges.
Excellent customer service! James did a very thorough survey and identified a small breach in the tanking in the basement (not fitted by them) He was very knowledgeable and did his very best to find an ‘economical’ solution. He was very honest and I was able to conclude that at this point the cost of repair far outweighed the benefits gained. Should the situation change I would definitely use them.
Really impressed with the guys and all their effort, the building looks like new and the guttering finishes it off nicely. cheers
We booked a survey with Home Building & Surveying Company and their service has been impeccable. We had a survey from another company but they didn’t provide the same level of detail and advice. We had treatment across two days and the team explained what they were doing and kept us informed of the progress. Completely professional and a good quality job, I strongly recommend them!
“The overall improvement is brilliant and the installation team were first class!”
Lee & Mason did the work on our property and we found them to be very polite, professional and clean ..wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
