Why Abbotsford Properties Develop Mould

Abbotsford has a mix of older terraces, apartments, warehouse conversions, commercial buildings and riverside properties.

These buildings can be vulnerable to mould when moisture becomes trapped inside walls, ceilings, subfloors or poorly ventilated rooms.

Common causes include:

  • Condensation
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Roof leaks
  • Rising damp
  • Poor ventilation
  • Water damage
  • High indoor humidity
  • Damp subfloor areas
  • Moisture trapped inside wall cavities

If the moisture source is not corrected, mould can return even after visible growth has been cleaned.
