One could compare mould to those unwanted guests who drop by unannounced. Fortunately, unlike your unannounced guests, you can get rid of mould from your property with mould remediation.
Mould usually grows in dark and damp places. Wherever they find moisture in abundance, they will settle there, growing and expanding, colonizing to greater amounts.

Therefore, it is important to call in a professional mould remediation like Smashing! immediately.
