How to Deal with Damp & Mould in Your Home

Damp and mould are common issues in homes, but if left untreated, they can affect your health and damage your living space. At Auckland Home Solutions, we want to help you understand the causes of damp and mould, and what you can do before requesting a repair.

Causes of Damp & Mould:
+ Poor ventilation in rooms like kitchens or bathrooms.
+ Condensation from drying clothes indoors.
+ Leaks or damage to pipes, roofs, or windows.

Steps You Can Take:
+ Open windows regularly to allow fresh air to circulate.
+ Wipe away moisture from windows and walls.
+ Keep furniture slightly away from walls to improve airflow.
+ Avoid drying clothes directly on radiators.

When to Report to AHS:
+ If mould continues to return after cleaning.
+ If you see large patches of damp spreading on walls or ceilings.
+ If there is a leak you cannot stop.

How We Can Help:
When you report damp or mould, our repairs team will assess the property, identify the cause, and arrange the necessary repair work to resolve the issue safely.

Closing:
Your home should be safe, comfortable, and healthy. If you are worried about damp or mould, don’t wait — follow the steps above and contact us for further support.
