Mould in your bathroom isn’t just unsightly—it can pose serious health risks, especially for children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions. If left untreated, damp conditions fuel mould growth, leading to breathing issues, allergies, and long-term structural damage to your home.
At MP Electrical, we’ve seen first-hand how poor ventilation leads to persistent mould problems in South Yorkshire homes. In this blog, we’ll cover:
✅ The health risks of bathroom mould
✅ Why poor ventilation is the biggest culprit
✅ How we install high-quality extraction systems to stop mould at its source
🚨 The Health Risks of Mould in Your Bathroom
When bathrooms aren’t properly ventilated, moisture from hot showers and baths has nowhere to go. This creates the perfect conditions for mould and mildew to thrive.
⚠️ Respiratory Problems – Mould spores in the air can trigger asthma, bronchitis, and lung infections, especially in children and the elderly.
⚠️ Allergic Reactions – Symptoms include sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and skin irritation.
⚠️ Worsening of Pre-Existing Conditions – People with COPD or weakened immune systems are at higher risk of respiratory complications.
⚠️ Headaches & Fatigue – Exposure to mould can cause persistent fatigue, dizziness, and brain fog in some individuals.
💡 Fact: The World Health Organization states that prolonged exposure to indoor dampness and mould increases the risk of respiratory illnesses.
🛠️ The Biggest Cause of Mould: Poor Ventilation
In most South Yorkshire homes, mould issues start with insufficient bathroom extraction.
🔴 No extractor fan? Moisture lingers, creating damp patches.
🔴 Weak or faulty fan? Steam isn’t fully removed, allowing mould spores to spread.
🔴 Uninsulated ducting? Water condenses inside the duct, dripping back and feeding mould growth.
🚀 The Solution? A properly installed, high-quality bathroom extraction system!
