Mould is a fungus that grows as multicellular filaments. Most mold species  cause discolouration and a fuzzy appearance which is especially noticeable on walls and food. This occurs due to the biodegradation of natural materials, which is especially unwanted when it results in food spoilage or damage to property.

To learn more about what mould/mold is, check our our article on mould and it’s symptoms.

Mould in your house can make you sick, especially if you have pre-existing conditions such as asthma or allergies. Even if you don’t have such issues, mold in your house is still able to irritate your nose, skin and lungs.

There is also a common and particularly harmful type of mold is called black mold. Black mold is toxigenic and can cause a person to feel breathless, have fevers or frequent headaches whenever they enter the mold infested space.

According to the CDC, some of the most common symptoms of mold exposure are

• – A stuffy, clogged nose
• – Sore throat
• – Burning eyes
• – Coughing/wheezing

An almost sure way to tell if your house has mould problems is leaving for a few days (to go on holiday, for example) and coming back afterwards.

If you immediately start coughing, wheezing or have trouble breathing, mould has likely grown to the point where it has started causing issues for your home.

Mold is ever present in your house. Chances are that mould already lives in your house, but does not have a large enough presence to cause issues for you. However, when the amount of mold spores grows to a big enough number, only do you see signs of mold in your house.

Such signs of mold include:

• -Bulging walls
• -Grout between floor tiles (especially bathroom) turning black
• -A frequent cough
• -Green, black or yellow stuff on your walls that appears there spontaneously

Yes, you can certainly clean up mould by yourself, if you have the necessary experience and skills to do so.Read our article to learn 3 easy methods to remove mould from your house.

However, cleaning up mold can be difficult, intimidating or even dangerous to do so, and many people do not feel confident enough to undertake this task. After all, dangerous mold can negatively impact the health of your loved ones, so it’s entirely understandable. It’s no shame to hire a mould remediation professional like us who’s NEA Certified and can get rid of your mould issue in less than 24 hours from your firstcontact.

Doing so ensures that a thorough, safe job is done of eradicating mold that does not endanger others, especially vulnerable loved ones like the elderly, children and pets.

Every case is unique, and similar looking cases from the outside may have very different mold treatments needed. However, here at EcoSense, we’ve got a checklist to help you tell if you need mold remediation.

1. You see black mold in your house. This particular one is toxigenic, and needs specialized equipment and training to handle.
2. Mold is in a difficult to access place. This includes places like ceilings,  bathroom tile grouts (the space between the tiles) or toilets.
3. Mold damage is severe and extensive.
4. You aren’t confident of being able to remove the mould by yourself, or don’t wish to deal with the hassle of trying to learn how to do it.

We know that mold remediation is already anxiety causing enough, so we’ve decided to help you ease the process of mold removal and decontamination by providing an on-site Cost Calculator.

This Cost Calculator just needs the total area to be cleaned in square feet, and frequency of cleaning to be done.

Transparency is one of our values here, and we don’t believe in being coy about prices. The calculator is a good way to estimate pricing, but if you’d like a more accurate estimate or just want to talk to a human, call us at 9819 8432 or drop us an email at sales@ecosense.sg

Pest control is the management, controlling and eradication of species commonly defined as pests, such as termites, cockroaches and bedbugs. These species can be found in places such as your home, office or public places.

Pest control invovles the work of NEA Certified, highly trained pest control specialists like us at EcoSense.

You need pest control if pests are present in your home or office and causing damage to both the location and your health. Pests, especially ones like rats, cockroaches or bedbugs are disease vectors that can give you dysentery, food poisoning or allergy attacks. If pest control is not carried out, they can also nest inside of furniture and walls, causing serious structural damage.

As with most things in life, you can try to DIY your own pest control, but we highly recommend that you don’t. Unless you’re a pest control professional like us, you likely lack understanding of different pest behaviours, the correct chemicals or the right proceedures to use.

In addition, there is also a higher chance of the same issue occuring. This is because most non-professional attempts try to address the symptom (the pest itself) instead of the cause of it. With EcoSense, we can target the root of the problem and eradicate it once and for all.

It’s difficult to give an exact quote because pest control pricing varies highly depending on the pest type, severity of infestation and treatment needed. To get an accurate quote, please contact us. We treat all kinds of pests.
