Excessive Mould Incubation caused by:
- Water damage to your property.
- Rooms in your home where ventilation or light are poor.
- Putting damp clothes back into drawers or cupboards.

Be Anal About Indoor Air Quality Improvement.
We may think our homes are healthy. Quite often outdoor air is much better for us.
Poor Indoor Air Quality can be a trigger of our allergies and health problems.
Mould spores and dust mite droppings are the worst culprits. Both mould and dust mites thrive in an environment of poor Indoor Air Quality where excess moisture is present.
Breathe Easier
Traditionally, dehumidifiers have not been that effective in controlling moisture in confined spaces in a home. It has meant that the indoor air quality could only be satisfactory in some areas of the home. IAQ Technologies offers a complete Indoor Air Quality testing service.
The key to preventing mould-causing asthma is to make sure that indoor moisture levels are kept under control throughout your house. It may be necessary to engage a builder or mould remedial specialist in serious cases of excess moisture/mould. Most of the time using common sense will be enough. Make sure that your rooms are ventilated regularly, and place PINGI moisture absorbing bags in confined areas of the home. PINGI products can be placed virtually anywhere in your home, but will be most effective in difficult to reach areas of your property.
