Mould problems are complex and more dangerous than they appear on the surface. While professionals can remove visible mould patches, others remain hidden. The real problem lies with these moulds. They might be present anywhere – in the ventilation systems, under the floors or behind the walls. With specialised tools and continuous mould inspection in London, you can easily remove these moulds.
The professionals use specialised tools to determine the root cause and recommend effective, long-lasting solutions to help you eliminate mould before it becomes a serious issue.
Why are traditional mould inspections not enough?
Mould inspections are based on visual identification and moisture checks. However, with this traditional inspection, it is not possible to identify the sources and the presence of the hidden moulds. Professionals using the traditional technique often miss hidden mould throughout the property.
What are the limitations of traditional mould inspection?
Traditional inspections cannot detect mould behind surfaces. Moreover, this inspection method offers limited accuracy in identifying the root causes of the mould. This technique also carries a high risk of mould recurrence due to insufficient inspection and diagnosis.
What are the advanced technologies used for mould inspection?
Thermal imaging cameras
Thermal imaging cameras like FLIR help detect temperature changes in walls and in parts of floors and ceilings. This indicates hidden moisture, which may cause mould in these sections of the property. With this camera, professionals identify potential damp areas and check for mould. This camera also helps to identify hidden leaks and provides a clear map for problem areas.
Air sampling and spore testing
Professionals also use advanced air sampling and spore testing methods to detect mould spores indoors. This method helps detect spores even when the mould is not visible. It also helps identify spore types, giving professionals an idea of the type of mould they are dealing with. The test also helps assess indoor air quality, thereby eliminating health risks.
Moisture meters
This tool effectively measures moisture in a room’s walls and floors. The moisture measurement helps the professionals to pinpoint the exact location of the mould. This method helps the experts to devise a treatment plan accordingly.
Borescopes and inspection cameras
With the help of borescopes or rigid micro-inspection cameras, the experts check inside ducts, cavities, and hard-to-reach areas of the house for mould. These cameras provide professionals with real-time visuals and confirm the presence of mould.
