For example, when moisture from shower use is inadequately ventilated, the moisture hits the underside of the roof and consequently drips back down onto the topside of the ceiling or insulation. This in turn creates a damp and humid environment within the roof cavity.
As a common issue for many households in Perth, mould removal is required to ensure your home and occupants do not suffer from the negative effects that mould can bring. Without mould treatment, it can become a breeding ground for toxic black mould spores (Stachybotrys chartarum), producing toxins called mycotoxins.

Natural light
Mould grows better in a darker environment. Installing a product such as a CSR Edmonds Turbobeam roof vent which has a perspex head will allow for natural light to reach into the roof cavity. Similarly, natural light also deters nocturnal animals such as rats.
Natural ventilation
Ensuring windows and doors are open as much as possible to allow for natural ventilation into your home can prevent mould from being created. Furthermore, it helps to have mesh security screens that act as both a security and fly screen for when you are trying to ventilate your home.
Electrical ventilation
One key tip for helping to reduce the creation of mould is to leave your exhaust fans on after showering or bathing. Once a shower or bath has been turned off, moisture continues to remain in the air and needs to be dispersed in order to reduce the chances of mould forming.
With these tips, you should be equipped with the knowledge to prevent mould growth and protect your home from further mould contamination.
