Mould can start growing in 24-48 hours...
With the presence of a cellulose based food source and moisture, mould can proliferate quickly. You may not be able to control the presence of a food source however you can prevent mould growth by controlling moisture.
However when disaster strikes, such as a leak or flood, it's crucial for structural drying to start as soon as possible. Don't hesitate to reach out to a professional when you face these situations!
With our commitment to ensuring the health & safety of all our customers, we would like to introduce our Swab & Post Test Kit service!

Older built properties may be more prone to condensation due to lack of modern insulation or ventilation systems.
With the right maintenance and awareness, you can take steps to prevent this issue such as making sure your windows have trickle vents and keeping them open to allow adequate ventilation. Stay informed, stay proactive!

Did you know that dry rot, despite its name, thrives in wet and damp conditions?
Contrary to expectations, this destructive fungus requires moisture to flourish. Keep your spaces well-ventilated and moisture-free to steer clear of dry rot troubles.

Did you know that bleach may not entirely eliminate mould and could actually encourage further growth?
Before reaching for that bleach bottle, just keep in mind that bleach depigments mould turning it translucent. While you may think the area is mould free, the invisible mould is then free to proliferate!
Contact the experts if you find any signs of mould...

Did you know that the real cause of damage when you find wood-boring beetles are the larvae, not the adults? π³π
Adult beetles are only alive for a few weeks with the goal of laying eggs - leaving the destructive work to their wood-munching offspring.
If you find evidence of woodworm (exit holes in timber), don't hesitate to contact WHITE KNIGHT!
