Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Singapore condos get mould?
Condos face mould due to central air-conditioning creating temperature differentials, high-rise wind patterns affecting ventilation, sealed windows in some developments, and common areas like pools increasing ambient humidity.
Can MCST help with mould issues?
MCST is responsible for common areas and external walls. For mould caused by building defects, water ingress through facades, or common area issues, contact your MCST. Internal unit mould is typically the owner's responsibility.
How much does condo mould removal cost?
Condo mould removal typically costs $300-$2000 depending on unit size and severity. Premium finishes and high ceilings may increase costs. Free inspection and quote provided.
Do newer condos get mould?
Yes, even new condos can develop mould. Construction moisture, early occupancy before proper drying, and modern airtight designs can create conditions for mould growth.
