It's not about being paranoid, it's about being prepared. Knowing how fast mould grows gives you the power to stop bigger issues before they start.

A small bathroom water leak can cause significant damage and promote mould growth, which is difficult to remove once established. Leaks might seem minor, take action and schedule a visit with us today.

Reminders

  • Mould Growth Timeline

  • Mould begins to grow within 24-48 hours of water exposure.
  • Ideal Conditions

  • High moisture, low light, and poor ventilation which is common in bathrooms can facilitate mould growth.
  • Urgency to Act

  • Mould can appear within two days of a leak, requiring immediate cleaning to prevent growth.
  • Persistent Leaks

  • If the leak continues, mould growth will persist, requiring ongoing preventative measures.
