Today’s episode of The Damp Show is an interesting and varied one. Sam has been busy this past week setting up a new mould consultation service and trying out a mould treatment system that has been developed in Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand. As well as killing the mould it leaves a film behind that continues to stop regrowth for a prolonged period.

 

Sam also has two surveys to tell you about and a new mould consultation service that he is considering rolling out. He also talks about what the PCA is doing for National Apprentice Week.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • There is a big difference between the bespoke damp survey Sam does and the general overviews some other companies provide, which is explained in the episode.
  • Each damp issue has a different solution, which is why it is very important to correctly identify the underlying cause.
  • Sam is considering offering an onsite advice consulting service as well as his standard survey product. It will enable those who want to do the work themselves to tap into his knowledge.
  • The PCA runs apprenticeships for those who want to work in the damp industry.
  • At the moment, the Mould Pro kit that was developed in Australia can only be used by professionals.
  • Mould Pro is an effective mould killer and the film that is left behind carries on killing the mould for a prolonged period of time.
