Mould in the attic can be harmful.

It has been known for a long time that mould in houses can cause allergies. Lately it has become clear that it can be toxic and cause illnesses as well. Fatigue, skin rash, runny nose, and reoccurring cough are all symptoms that can be connected to mould and moisture sensitive bacteria. In some cases, the symptoms disappear when the building has been sanitized, but in other cases the problems last all through life. It is therefore important to prevent damages and make sure the house does not become a sick building. Furthermore, it is important to take care of already existing damages as quickly as possible before the tenants are affected.

It is also a financial question. Too much moisture in the attic can lead to the timber bending or that it releases emissions of harmful substances, which may result in expensive repairs.

A severe mould attack can cost tens of thousands of euros to repair and a house fungus attack can ultimately require the exchange of all wooden parts of the house. A dry rot- serpula lacrymans- can eat its way through a house in little over a year. In general a householders’ comprehensive insurance does not cover such damages since they are not the result of a regular accident.
