What Is Black Mould?
Black mould, or Stachybortrys Chatarum, is common in homes and other buildings that have had a source of water damage. This type of mould can cause serious problems for people with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
Additionally, black mould can also damage the structure of a building by causing rot and decay. If you suspect black mould in your Perth home, it is important to contact a professional mould removal company as soon as possible. They will be able to assess the situation and safely remove the mould before it causes any further damage.
Is Black Mould Common In Australia?
Black mould mainly occurs from water damage to the property or can be found in humid climates, such as the tropics. This is why areas like NSW, Victoria and Queensland are prone to mould problems where climatic conditions include wet seasons or winters, tropical storms, and high humidity levels but if you have any type of water damage to the property that is not repaired this can lead to black mould also.
However, it can also occur in other parts of the country, particularly in homes with poor ventilation and dated construction.
Some symptoms of black mould exposure include coughing, wheezing, and watery eyes.
People often tend to remove these moulds with common household cleaners. If you have black mould in your home, it is important to take urgent steps to remove it as soon as possible to avoid health complications.

Signs of Black Mould
It is important all year round to keep an eye around your property to see if there is any water damage to the ceiling, walls, cabinets or any area in your property as this will need to be repaired quickly to reduce the chance of mould growth. Ventilation is vital – open doors and windows when possible to naturally ventilate the home with blinds open. If you can smell a stale or pungent odour, similar to the smell of rotting wood, this could also be a sign.
