Hong Kong Bathroom Mould Problems
John Herbert
Director
Tropical Hong Kong has high humidity, so humidity, condensation, flooding or water
leakage risks causing mould on bathroom walls, ceilings, or in the suspended ceiling,
and that moisture causes mould that can cause health issues for your family.
Water damage whether causd by flooding, water ingress, condensation or damp can
create the perfect environment for mould to grow inside buildings, particularly
in bathrooms, risking your health and the health of your family.
Health Impacts of Mould
Whether caused by flooding, condensation or water leakage
the resulting mould can impact your health.

You do not need to inhale spores or their mycotoxins,
direct contact/touching spores can cause a rash for
some people.
Everyone is different, with a varying sensitivity to mould,
so individuals, in the same building, may have no symptoms
or suffer from a range of different health problems. Medical advice
reports a range of health impacts caused by mould including:
We use high resolution thermal camera (infrared camera) to identify
hidden damp and moisture issues, that can't be seen by the human eye,
to find the water source, that is first step to resolving mould problems.
Mould is a fungi, a living organism that is found everywhere,
outdoors and indoors. Once mature it releases microscopic
spores into the air. like seeds, these microscopic spores drift
around in air, carried on air currents.
Indoors, spores move around on natural drafts and within air currents
created by air conditioning units or fans, until they can settle.
And given the right environmental conditions (food and water) the
spores will grow, reproduce, and release spores into the air,
continuing its life cycle.
However, for some people, particularly young children and sensitive
adults mould spores can cause health problems, including alleries,
headaches, resiratory problems which may cause, further complications
often requiring medical treatment.
To stop mould indoor requires cutting off its food and water, simpler
said than done. Our expertise is water, we idendify the source or
sources of damp or moisture causing mould.
Mould spores are all around us, indoor and outdoors. but without
identifying the root cause, cleaning only addresses the visible
result that is a symptom, not the root cause, is pointless
waste of time, effort and money.
We use years of experience coupled with our thermal imaging infrared
camera for mould inspections to identify hidden moisture, water and
damp problems in buildings that cause mould.
