Colored downs or fluffy plaque on the surface of the walls, blackening the ceiling in the corner, an unpleasant smell in the basement, rotten floorboards – these signs indicate the appearance of a fungus in the house.
What is this?
“Greak” (or mold) we call colonies of small living creatures of different biological species. The body of the fungus looks like the thinnest threads. Fungi, like all living organisms, need food. They absorb nutrients dissolved in water with the entire area of the body.
Fungi multiply with the help of dispute – special cells with strong walls. Disputes move with the help of animals, insects, winds. When disputes fall into favorable conditions, they immediately begin to germinate.
In the house suitable for the development of the fungus, conditions appear for various reasons, but the main thing is damp and poor ventilation. Due to leaks, the walls and ceiling are damp. The fungus is enough moisture penetrating through pores in building materials in case of violation of waterproofing, or drops settled on cold walls. It will certainly appear if raw materials were used during the construction, the rules for the harvesting and drying of logs were not observed. When the ventilation system does not work well, wet air stagnates – and the fungus feels even better.
How to fight?
Ante Todo, you need to dry the room, eliminate the causes of humidity and establish ventilation.
If the fungus settled on the brick wall, it is necessary to remove the entire layer of plaster to brick with a hard brush, hire the cement from the seams between the bricks to a depth of 3 cm and apply a fungicid (killing fungus) with a brush or spray, following the instructions on the packaging. Then the wall is dried, covered with a waterproofing primer with an antifungal effect and a new layer of plaster is applied. Fungicide is also added to the plaster solution.
If the fungus is found on a wooden wall or floor, the damaged area will have to be removed. Cuttled pieces of wood should be immediately burned. The surface is cleaned, treated with fungicide, dried. New floorboards or logs before laying to place must also be treated with antifungal agents. Before painting, the floor and walls are well dried and covered with a primer, which will provide the best adhesion of the paint with the surface, waterproofing and protection from the fungus.
How to prevent?
1. Use high -quality building materials.
2. Observe the technology of construction, decoration and operation of buildings. Properly organize ventilation, ventilate the premises, prevent excessive humidity, leaks and a violation of the temperature regime.
3. Use finishing materials with antiseptic and antifungal properties.
The fungus is dangerous for humans and for buildings. Do not let him develop in your home. It is difficult to evict him! But perhaps.
