Sydney, Australia - October 5, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The Third Hand, in their interview when interviewed by Metro Cities Media, confirmed the importance of home mould inspections, especially before committing to an investment property purchase. They note that once the purchased property is tenanted, the occupants place less importance on reporting what they consider a minor mould outbreak, before it has rapidly spread and is too late.

Mr Angelo Boliaris Founder of The Third Hand said this , “Property investors get structural and termite inspections completed before a purchase, but do not consider getting a mould inspection done prior or during their ownership for the presence of potentially killer mould. The heartache of finding a mould infestation and the substantial remedial costs of removing the mould could be avoided by getting a simple pre-purchase and regular mould inspection done by a specialist building biologist. They can also check for other biological pollutants & contaminants at the same time.”

Mould is a type of fungus that is found everywhere in nature, indoors and outdoors. They grow on surfaces that have been damp for more than 24 hours, especially on organic substances such as wallpaper, timber, ceiling tiles, carpeting and insulation. In humid environments the growth of mould can be rapid, eventually causing damage to materials it has colonized as well as producing mycotoxins. These can lead to serious health issues of occupants of rental properties if left unchecked.

“This is a silent, but massive issue and spring is a good time to tackle it, especially when a property is vacant. We recommend and hire to landlords commercial dehumidifiers that remove many litres of water from the walls which in turn helps resolve the mould growth and paint peeling issues.” said Angelo Boliaris

There are two types of mould, toxic or allergenic. Toxic moulds can produce mycotoxins that cause health problems such as skin irritation or allergic reactions like shortness of breath and wheezing (allergic rhinitis). Allergic rhinitis is also known as hay fever and can be caused by moulds.
