Mold Control Services in Kenya
Mold growth is a common problem in homes, offices, and commercial spaces across Kenya, especially in areas with high humidity, poor ventilation, or water damage. Mold not only damages walls, ceilings, and furniture but also poses serious health risks, including allergies, respiratory problems, and skin irritations. At Rowland Africa, we provide professional mold control services designed to eliminate mold safely, restore affected areas, and prevent future growth.
Our team uses advanced inspection techniques, safe treatment methods, and preventive strategies to ensure your property remains clean, healthy, and mold-free.
Understanding Mold and Its Dangers
Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, humid, and poorly ventilated environments. Mold reproduces by releasing spores into the air, which can settle on surfaces and grow into new colonies. Common types of indoor mold include:
- Aspergillus – Can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues.
- Cladosporium – Found on fabrics and wood, often causing asthma flare-ups.
- Stachybotrys (Black Mold) – Produces toxins that may cause serious health effects.
- Penicillium – Grows on damp materials like wallpaper, insulation, or carpets.
Mold growth is often hidden behind walls, under floors, or in ventilation systems, making professional inspection critical.
Causes of Mold Growth
Mold thrives in environments where moisture is present. Key causes include:
- Water leaks from roofs, walls, or plumbing
- Flooding or poor drainage
- High humidity levels in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements
- Condensation on windows or pipes
- Poor ventilation in closed spaces
- Damp building materials or poorly maintained properties
Ignoring mold growth can lead to structural damage, persistent odors, and severe health risks for occupants.
Signs You Have a Mold Problem
Early detection is crucial for effective mold control. Common signs include:
- Visible mold growth on walls, ceilings, floors, or furniture
- Musty or damp odors in indoor spaces
- Water stains or discoloration on walls and ceilings
- Allergic reactions such as sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes
- Respiratory issues or worsening asthma symptoms
- Peeling paint, warped surfaces, or crumbling plaster
