This makes perfect sense because it is the wettest area of a home. More often than not you will find black mould in between your grout in the shower and bath, however, the ceiling is another area where you will likely find effected.

Even though you may have breathers installed, if water is seeping through an external wall then a small breather isn’t enough to ensure the condensation doesn’t become a problem. “We recently performed a job in Castle Hill (see our picture gallery for more details) where the mould had effectively killed the ceiling,” Nassimi said. “In order to fix the problem we needed to find out where the mould was coming from. “Poor ventilation in the ceiling was the problem. “This needed to be corrected before we could attack the surface mould with Smart Prime. “If this problem wasn’t corrected then the work we did to the room, including removing the mould and repainting, would be for nothing. Mould would again come through the ceiling in time because of the poor ventilation.” How To Treat Mould In Your Home Maz and his team of Sydney painters were innovative when treating the mould and removing it for their Castle Hill client, using the latest technology and products through the following steps: 1) Applying mould killing spray 2) Then applying Smart Prime (Zinzer) (The use of Stain Killer and Cover Mould which are water-based and have less odour) 4) Repainting the room Breathing in mould can be a serious health hazard.
