Commonly Reported Symptoms

People living in damp or mould-affected properties sometimes report experiencing a range of non-specific symptoms. These reports are self-described and vary between individuals.

Below we list the main known symptoms you may experience, but if anything else is worrying you do get in touch.

Symptoms commonly reported include

  • Respiratory irritation, such as coughing, wheezing, or chest tightness
  • Headaches, sinus congestion, or pressure
  • Fatigue, low energy, or poor sleep quality
  • Eye, nose, or throat irritation
  • Skin irritation or flare-ups of existing conditions

These symptoms can have multiple contributing factors, including environmental, lifestyle, and individual health variables. Their presence alone does not indicate a building defect, nor does it confirm that an environmental condition within the home is responsible.

Important clarification

Mould Threat does not diagnose illness, provide medical opinions, or attribute health outcomes to specific causes. Our role is limited to assessing building condition and environmental risk factors associated with dampness and mould. Where health concerns exist, advice should be sought from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
