More FAQs- What is black mould?
- When should disinfection services be considered for my business or commercial property?
- Why is it important to contact a professional for biohazard cleanup in your home?
Black mould (Statchybotrys chartarum) is greenish-black in colour and grows in conditions where there is an excessive amount of moisture over a long period of time. Water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks and condensation in small, damp places like bathrooms all create a perfect breeding ground for black mould. Black mould releases microtoxins, a noxious substance that can cause serious health problems for humans and pets.
Disinfection services should be considered for your business or commercial property whenever there is a potential risk of contamination from pathogens or other harmful substances. This could include situations such as an outbreak of an infectious disease, rodent feces and other pathogens.
