Mould treated at the source.

Mould is a type of fungus. It thrives in warm, damp and humid places, which describes most Singapore homes for much of the year.

Mould reproduces through microscopic spores that float in the air. When a spore lands on a surface with enough moisture, it starts to grow.

Anything that holds moisture: drywall, concrete walls, wood, carpets, leather goods and clothes.

Moisture is always the root cause. The usual sources are:

• Leaks and water damage. Seepage, condensation or failed waterproofing can start mould growing within 48 hours.
• Poor ventilation. Windows kept shut and little airflow trap humid air.
• Air-con systems. In windowless offices and shops, mouldy AHU filters can spread spores to every room the ducting serves.
• Furniture. Second-hand pieces may already carry mould, and new furniture delivered in the rain can bring it in.
• Cross-contamination. Moving affected items between rooms or locations spreads spores.

There are over a million species. The most common indoors are Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Alternaria. The most dangerous is Stachybotrys chartarum, known as black mould, the most notorious toxic mould.

Yes. Common symptoms are sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes, skin rashes and throat irritation. Some people also get coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Look and smell. Mould can look cottony, velvety or leathery, in white, black, grey or green, and it usually has a musty odour.

Bleach lightens the stain on the surface, but mould roots sit inside porous materials like plaster, paint and wood. If the moisture feeding it is still there, it grows back. We remove the growth, treat the area, seal it and deal with the moisture source.

We're trained to restore the area without putting anyone at risk, and to stop spores spreading into rooms that aren't affected yet. DIY scrubbing often releases spores into the air and spreads the problem.

No. Our bio-cleaning and bio-fumigation use an all-natural tea tree oil solution, which is a natural biocide for mould.

Yes. We apply a solvent-based sealant layered with anti-mould coating to stop moisture building up on the surface again.

Tea tree oil can be harmful to pets, so please move them somewhere else before your appointment. We'll tell you when it's safe to bring them back.

Yes. We use PPE for serious cases to keep our team safe and to avoid carrying spores to other areas.
