Mould is a significant problem for a number of properties in Ireland. Partially the damp climate is to blame but the quality of built and the ventilation system which is used in the property both have a significant effect on the probability of mould appearance.

Unless the moist air is allowed to escape the environment inside a property warm and humid common household dust, containing microscopic spores of mould lands on wet surfaces and becomes the breeding ground for mould.  The most common types of mould found in homes are Aspergillus and Stachybotrys chartarum which can thrive on water damaged, cellulose-rich material in buildings such as sheet rock, paper, ceiling tiles, insulation backing, wallpaper, etc
Airing the rooms can aid in resolving damp and mould issues but for a total solution the problem has to be dealt with on a more professional level.
Once the cause of the dampness/mould appearance is established and you have rectified whatever was causing the excess humidity you can treat the areas affected by mould and repair the wall, ceiling or window as necessary.

Mould Remediation is the removal and cleaning of mould and mildew from contaminated areas or materials. If properly performed, mould treatment and prevention should also prevent the mold from growing back or from spreading to non-contaminated areas.

There are several methods of mould removal but they should all be performed by trained professionals. A trained mould remediator will identify the source of the mould problem and its growth, eliminate the mould (including dead mould), and dispose of the damaged materials correctly.

All mould, even dead mould, can adversely affect human health. Because mould spores are minute and can be carried in the air, they can be easily inhaled by humans resulting in respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies and other health problems.
