"Organic Growth" or Mould, is not supposed to be present inside a habitable property.
Its food source is High humidity, water ingress or a combination of both.
Mould inside a property should be taken seriously, as it is an indicator that moisture is present inside the property.
This can be via a leaking roof, escape of liquid from a water pipe/hose, water ingress via an external event, leaking shower base, breakdown in the water proofing membrane, or high condensation levels from an internal environmental condition, just to name a few.
People can be affected by mould depending on their individual levels of immunity, age and pre-existing health issues.
The main concern is to clean or contain the active, visual mould immediately, so as to limit the amount of aerosolization of the mould particulate.
It is important to not cross contaminate other areas of the property and keep the affected area localised and contained.
Find the cause and repair the leak immediately so as not exacerbate the situation and reduce further damage.

Quite often, an odour can be present with no visual mould.
This should also be taken seriously because it may be entering the property via the subfloor, roof cavity or by an unidentified water leak and unless inspected, the internal environment could continue to get worse, causing the property to become uninhabitable.
Contact your local Jims Hazmat Removal team member to attend and undertake a thorough inspection of the affected area, perform a Makesafe if required and present a Report and quote to remediate the affected area.

Jims Hazmat Removal can undertake Air or Surface Sampling and provide a Clean Home Certificate on completion of works.

Born from the Asbestos Removal sector, Jim's Hazmat Removal are a team of experts qualified to undertake multiple technical services when it comes to clearing hazardous materials from buildings and homes.

One of our most popular services is providing Clean Home Certificates for homes that have been impacted by mould or methamphetamine. This can impact those wanting to purchase or lease a home, so we've created a new pre-inspection report for these properties so we can provide the owner or property manager with a certificate confirming the property is safe to purchase or lease. This goes for common issues such as mould, as well as all things biohazard related, which encompasses drug house cleans, chemical spills and hoarders cleans.

Time stamping the samples in these reports means that the property life cycle can be captured and hold tenants (if they are the responsible party) accountable for future sampling outcomes. This ability to identify the contamination early will eliminate cost blowouts for maintenance, as well as give landlords the opportunity to take back control over the condition of the property.
Here's how you can get the ball rolling to obtain a Clean House Certificate,

Why is mould removal is important?

Mould, the often invisible, toxigenic substance, can grow inside homes, schools, and the workplace undetected for years and be fueled by damp conditions. Exposure to mould can increase the risk of health problems such as asthma, allergies, and even depression.
Common places where mould can develop include bathrooms, tiles, carpets, plaster walls and ceilings. It is also possible that mould can grow within insulation materials and wooden structures. Generally speaking, mould grows where the air is moist or humid and when the conditions are right for the mould.
Signs that you might have a moisture problem include water stains or discoloration on walls, floors or ceilings in your house. Surface abnormalities like peeling or bubbling paint or wallpaper may also indicate dampness. You may also smell a 'musty' odour which is a pretty good sign that mould is present.
There is no "off-the-shelf" product you can buy to remediate mould. Let's face it, your home was probably mould free for years before you had a problem, so why would you pay money for something that only has a 12 month warranty? That's not a solution, and you will find yourself repeating the process for years to come.

Stuck at home ? Lets Renovate !

We have seen a spike in home renovations during the past year dealing with Covid. Clients have more time to do that renovation that they have been putting off. The reality is that if you are renovating an older property in Australia, there's a good chance it will contain asbestos of some kind. Between 1945 and the mid-1980s in Australia, it was widely used in the construction industry, especially bonded asbestos sheeting, or "fibro" as we know it. Inside the home, by far the most common form used was internal wall sheeting, because of its great insulating properties. It was widely used in wet areas and around heating units. When this sheeting is disturbed and the fibres become airborne, say if you were renovating and started cutting or drilling into it or - even worse, breaking it up with a sledgehammer - that the sheeting becomes a serious danger. This is particularly problematic in bathroom renovations, because the sheeting will often be hidden behind wall tiles or under floor tiles, so you may not detect it until the renovations begin. Other areas inside a home you might find it could be in the backing for old vinyl floor tiles or as carpet underlay. Outside, you'll commonly see it under eaves (the dead giveaway is the battens that were used to cover the joins between the sheets), as roof guttering, corrugated sheeting for roofs or fencing, and as flat sheeting used on exteriors of old sheds, car ports and other outbuildings.
If you have experience in building you're used to dealing with these materials in older properties and there's a good chance you'll recognise the various forms of asbestos. However, the only way to know for sure if it's asbestos is to have it tested by an accredited lab. Always engage a licneced Asbestos removalist to help you with this no matter what your experience. Take every precaution possible. Although legally you are allowed to remove small amounts of bonded asbestos yourself (the legal minimum differs between states) engaging professional asbestos removalists is the better option.
If left alone asbestos rarely poses a risk in the home. It's only when it's disturbed, and the deadly asbestos fibres are released into the air, that asbestos becomes hazardous. That's why renovators need to educate themselves about where it is likely to be found in the home and get an experienced Asbestos removalist to remove it for them.
Call Jims Hazmat Removal before you renovate for peace of mind.

Asbestos could be anywhere, and you need to be aware! Especially for renovators, the risks need to be understood.
Australia was among the highest consumers of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the world. Multiple products still lie hidden in one-third of Aussie homes built or renovated before 1987 including brick, weatherboard, fibro, clad homes, flats, and apartments.
Australians are also very keen on DIY and home renovations. There has been an increase in this after many lifestyle programs such as The Block has encourage home owners to improve their homes. Looks easy when you see a couple renovate a bathroom in 24hrs !
Each week 13 Australians die of asbestos-related diseases - 12 from malignant mesothelioma. Another 13 are diagnosed with this incurable cancer and the average survival time following diagnosis is just 10-12 months.
This is too much of a risk to save a few dollars on a reno. Particularly for families with small children. A worksite can leave a child playing with materials and sweeping up dust that can contain Asbestos.
Most Australians would be surprised at where they might find the hidden danger of asbestos. Asbestos can be found under floor coverings such as carpets, linoleum and vinyl tiles, behind a wall and floor tiles, in cement floors, internal and external walls, ceilings and ceiling space (insulation). It can be found in eaves, garages, roofs, around hot water pipes, fences, extensions to homes, garages, outdoor toilets, backyard sheds, chook sheds and even dog kennels.
Our Licenced Asbestos removalists can safely remove these materials and provide a clearance certificate to make sure your family is safe.
