Mould Cleaning

Bleaches and off the shelf mould treatment products, "bleach" or take the colour out of visible mould to hide the problem but fail to treat living hidden mould in gyprock and other building materials, allowing the mould to quickly re-grow.

Electrodry Mould Cleaning offers an affordable, revolutionary mould treatment system that traces the moisture to its source, treating visible and hidden mould for long lasting results. We will also treat air-borne spores using a special antimicrobial mist to ensure that the indoor air quality is restored to healthier levels.

Do you suffer from itchy eyes and runny nose, shortness of breath or you just generally feel a little run down? Mould may be the cause of your ill health. There are over 1000 types of identified mould and approximately 5% contain mycotoxins that are poisonous to humans. Long term exposure to other mould types can also illicit harmful allergic reactions. If you can see mould in your home, you need to effectively treat it. More information about the possible health repercussions of mould are available from your local public health unit.

Electrodry's Mould Treatment system typically costs $350 per room with moderate levels of contamination. Light contamination in pockets or corners of rooms will cost less and heavy contamination may be more expensive.

Pricing is determined at the time of inspection and is based on the surface area affected, the level of contamination and the building material e.g. brick, gyprock or timber. The costs of anti-microbial misting varies depending on the size of the house. Mould treatment is specialised work that requires a large amount of personal protective equipment. due to set-up and protective equipment required, the minimum charge for a mould treatment service is $350.

If you have pets, they will not be allowed in the house during the treatment. We also recommend removing any indoor plants outside while we undertake the service.

No-one is to be in the household during or for a period of 5 hours after the treatment.

All areas to be micro-cleaned need to be easily accessible. We ask that you move any furniture/whitegoods prior to our attendance. We will take the utmost care during the service, placing protective sheets over your heavy furniture and floors throughout the service. Your technician will discuss this with you in more detail at the time of inspection.

Mould is ugly and can be potentially bad for your health.

It typically becomes worse in colder months, so you need to be more aware of mould growth during these times.

While more severe infestations will require professional remediation, there are some easy ways to prevent mould growth in your home.

First, there are a few things you need to know about mould.

· Mould needs moisture to grow, or an environment where the relative humidity is regularly above 50%.

· UV light will target many types of mould.

· Mould grows on almost any porous surface.

This is how you can prevent mould.

1. Clean the exhaust fan in your bathroom, laundry and kitchen regularly, if you have one.

2. Keep the exhaust fan on for 20 minutes after your shower to clear the steam out of the room.

3. Open windows to let natural light in.

4. For mould in closets or bedrooms buy a few desiccant dehumidifiers or "moisture eaters" such as Damp-Rid. They are effective at keeping humidity levels in check.

5. Condensation issues can cause mould, so installing a dehumidifier can be an option. A dehumidifier will continually take moisture out of the air to reduce the relative humidity.

6. A concentrated mould issue may be a sign of a leak in the premises and a plumber should be called.

7. Mould that starts at the floor and rises up the wall means there may be an issue with drainage under the home and rising dampness. A plumber or building inspector can help.
