Mould is a fungus that grows in damp conditions and can cause health problems. It can be black, green, or grey and has a musty smell. It can grow on any surface, but it is most common on walls, ceilings, and behind furniture.
Mould releases spores into the air and can be inhaled into the lungs. Some types of mould can cause serious health problems, including breathing problems, allergies, and skin infections.
If you see any of the following signs of mould, you may be entitled to both free repairs and compensation for your troubles:
Black, Green or Grey spots
Wet or rotting wood
