Black mould on the wall near the gutter downpipe

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 4.07 PM

I noticed black mould on the wall near the gutter downpipe. There's some space between the gutter and the wall so I'm not sure how black mould appears on the wall. The gutter is on one side of the wall (clean). The black mould is on the other wall of the corner. What to do about it? I checked the gutter inside and it's clear.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

For reasons of science, black mould has nothing to do with what’s going on outside. Your issue is high interior Relative Humidity.

Black mould on the interior is usually condensation but can easily be fixed with the correct airflow
