Rising Damp, Fungal Growth & Mould
Discovering mysterious fungal growth, green fungus, or even mushroom growth in your home can be unsettling. Whether it's in hallways, bedrooms, cupboards, or bathrooms, these signs often indicate a deeper issue that requires immediate attention.
Leak Busters in Dublin specialises in addressing rising damp, fungal growth, and mould removal to ensure the health and integrity of your home.
Understanding Fungal Growth
Fungal growth can manifest anywhere in your home, and the causes are often interconnected. Identifying the source is crucial in determining the most effective solution. If you're grappling with fungal growth, ask yourself:
• Do you have hidden leaks contributing to moisture?
• Are there other factors, such as condensation, exacerbating the issue?
Factors Contributing to Fungal Growth
Several factors can contribute to the signs of water leakage, including condensation. In well-insulated houses with double glazing and good wall and loft insulation, the following points may affect your home:
1. Solar Thermal Heat: The temperature of the loft area can increase, affecting humidity levels in the property.
2. Human Contribution: Humans contribute approximately 4 pints (568ml) of moisture per day, impacting indoor humidity.
3. Air Quality: Indoor air can contain up to 900 different chemicals, influencing moisture levels.
4. Humidity: As humidity levels rise, oxygen levels deplete, creating conditions that mimic water leaks.
These factors can often be mistaken for water leaks, leading to the appearance of fungal growth and mould.
Rising Damp
Rising damp is another potential culprit for fungal growth. Certain nitrates and chlorides deposited by the evaporation of soil water on walls and floors can indicate rising damp.
Our detailed analysis considers positive indicators for both chlorides and nitrates, helping differentiate soil-bound water from rainwater ingress or leaking pipes.
