Moss, Mould, Lichen Removal and Treatment

The growth of lichen, mould, moss or mildew in any residence or commercial building is both unsightly and unhealthy. Warm, damp weather permits the correct conditions for moss, mould and lichen to develop. When there is a moisture problem present somewhere in a building, mildew, moss and mould will begin to form, grow and spread. If no measures are taken to prevent or remove the problem, it will continue to spread and take over. New Zealand is an area particularly susceptible to the growth of mould and lichen.

In addition to being a health hazard, the presence of mould and moss in or on a building can compromise its structural integrity. The unattractive, ugly effect of the mould and lichen also causes the surface that it's growing on to rot and weaken. The bottom line is that proper precautionary measures need to be taken in order to prevent this unfortunate event from occurring.
