Mould Inspection vs. Mould Remediation: What's the Difference? Mould can be a sneaky intruder in our homes, but understanding the difference between mould inspection and mould remediation is crucial to keeping your living space healthy. 🔍 Mould Inspection: This is the first step in addressing a mould problem. A thorough inspection identifies the presence and extent of mould growth, the type of mould, and the root cause of the issue, such as leaks or humidity. It’s about assessing the situation to understand what needs to be done. 🛠️ Mould Remediation: Once an inspection has confirmed mould growth, remediation involves removing or cleaning up the mould to prevent future growth. This process may include sealing off affected areas, using specialised equipment to remove mould, and taking steps to correct the moisture problem. Preventing mould is all about maintaining a dry, well-ventilated environment. Regular inspections and prompt remediation can help keep your home safe and healthy. Stay proactive about your home’s health! 🏡✨ #IECL #MouldInspection #MouldRemediation #Mould #WaterDamage
