Why Does Outdoor Mould Occur?
Exterior mould most commonly occurs due to the following reasons:
Problems with guttering
Damaged damp-proofing
Poorly maintained or broken drains
Penetrating rain
Through these instances, water can get into your walls and in some circumstances, cannot dry. Thus, mould occurs. If ventilation is poor, or the weather outside is cold, the water cannot dry.
Whilst the best measure to keep mould under control is prevention, sometimes it’s too late and you’ve already got outdoor mould covering your walls. This can impact the appearance of your building and ultimately, your business.
Why Should I Remove Outdoor Mould?
Of course, we are all aware of the impacts of interior mould. Recently there has been a surge in the number of homes struggling to keep their mould under control. However, exterior mould also has a number of harmful impacts on your business.
The removal of exterior mould is essential for your health but also for your business. Consider how you would feel walking into a building that’s covered in outdoor mould. What kind of first impression would that leave you with? The cleanliness of the exterior of your building has a much more significant impact than people think. Mould is extremely common, but can also spread extremely quickly. Dealing with it swiftly and effectively is the best way to prevent it from harming your business.
In addition to this, much like interior mould, outdoor mould can have some lasting impacts on your health. Some common symptoms of mould exposure include:
A runny or blocked nose
Irritation of the skin and eyes
Wheezing
Asthma attacks (for those with the condition)
