Mold Decontamination
Mold Decontamination in Malaysia
Why is Mold Decontamination Important
Although mold spores are generally harmless, if it is attached in a moist area of the facility, it will begin to grow. When mold grows on a surface, spores can easily be released into the air and inhaled. People who are allergic to mold and inhale a high concentration of spores, may develop health problems, such as asthma, allergies and other respiratory problems. This could be severe for some people, signifying why indoor air quality inside a facility is crucial in affecting someone’s health. After problem identification, mold decontamination is the best way to prevent health problems.
Prevent Health Problems
Better Indoor Air Quality
How Can Mold Be Prevented?
Have control on the humidity
Ensuring free airflow i.e open windows for better air circulation
Proper maintenance on the ventilation system
Ensure dry space or area i.e prevent water leakage
Replacing or prevent from using materials that absorb moisture i.e carpet in bathroom
How Do We Operate
Swab testing
Swab will be taken initially for laboratory testing, to identify the type of the bacterias and fungus, whether it is harmful or not. Major reason is because mold cannot be seen by naked eyes, except for those chronic cases of mold growth. Example, black mold.
Humidity reading testing
Indoor humidity reading testing will be taken inside the facility using special tools as air humidity indicators. This is taken to record the RH of the area, whether it exceeds the guideline set by DOSH, between 40% - 70% reading or not.
Inspection
Inspection will take place to identify or detect the possibility of mold dispersion inside the facility, from ventilation cleanliness, the air circulation, within area location, surrounding ambiance, to shopping mall building maintenance of indoor air quality (duct condition, AHU and many more).
Mold Mitigation
After problem identification, the cleaning will take place. Affected areas in the facility will be contained or sealed off before EPA approved chemicals are used to remove the mold
Recommendation
After all processes have been completed, recommendation or suggestion will be provided to clients in order to help clients maintain the facility’s indoor air quality and prevent mold reproduction.

That won’t work. The mold can grow again on the painted surface, but unseen mould spores are also present elsewhere, away from the growth zone.
Mold is happy to feed on paint because paint is stuck to Sheetrock paper, which is an organic surface. Organic paint contains mold food.
