This fact is both a blessing and a curse; it’s the reason we have beautiful greenery all year round, but is also one of the reasons we have such high occurrences of mould growth inside our houses. One of the reasons for this is when our houses are being built in the rainy season (Sep-May), the moisture content in the wood framing and OSB is often too high before putting up the drywall. Moisture content needs to be checked before closing drywall and should never be higher than 19%. If this doesn’t happen, mould has the potential to grow inside the walls.

This is the reason why mould lawsuits for new home construction have sky rocketed around North America. With the legal community saying that mould is the new “asbestos”, builders are finding themselves liable at epidemic rates:

Offer it as an upgrade option to the home buyer at their cost.
   
What are the benefits to the builder or contractor?
   
 
Builders will be able to show that they were proactive in preventing possible mould issues.
   
The antimicrobial treatment will give you legal piece of mind in the absence of adequate mould coverage in a builders/contractors general liability insurance policy.

Environmentally friendly and 100% safe.
   
The treatment is highly effective against mould, decaying fungi, wood destroying insects including termites, carpenter ants, wood boring beetles, and is it’s fire resistant.
   
Will not adversely affect any other materials used during construction including: metals, plastics, glue, paint, and wiring.
   
The antimicrobial treatment can be applied when the wood framing is damp and while other subcontractors are performing their work eliminating the need to set aside extra time for the application.
