Pinpoint the cause of mould and stop it before it spreads
Mould is one of the most common and costly housing disrepairs in the Ireland. It causes property damage, increases complaints, and threatens tenant health. With HomeLINK’s connected technology, landlords can detect mould conditions early, take preventative action, and reduce the long-term cost of managing mould in your homes.
Use smart data to prevent mould before it appears
Mould in properties affected by excessive moisture, poor airflow, or inconsistent heating system use. It’s especially common in homes with inadequate ventilation, water damage, or moisture build-up in kitchens and bathrooms.
With Environmental Sensors (Ei1020/Ei1025), landlords can monitor temperature, humidity, and CO₂ across their stock, identifying the risk of mould before spores spread or damage occurs.
This data-led approach enables landlords to stop mould early, avoid unnecessary maintenance, and move toward planned preventative maintenance action.
Understand what causes mould in your properties
From structural issues and behavioural triggers to poor insulation and drying clothes indoors, what causes mould can be complex.
HomeLINK’s real-time data helps landlords understand the root cause, whether it’s environmental conditions, resident habits, or building defects, so you can take targeted corrective measures before small issues escalate into costly repairs.
With this powerful remote data insight, not only can you understand which room an issue is located in but also the root cause of the problem.
Health and mould: why early action matters
Mould is more than a maintenance issue—it’s a serious health problem. Inhalation of mould spores and ongoing mould exposure can lead to:
- Respiratory problems and asthma attacks
- Allergic reactions, coughing, skin irritation
- Greater risk for those with weakened immune systems
- Mental health distress in damp or overcrowded homes
Left unchecked, poor indoor air quality and mould in your home may trigger local authority intervention or failure in inspections.
Why landlords can’t afford to ignore mould problems in rented property
Delaying action can result in:
- Costly housing repairs and tenant compensation
- Damage to internal walls, insulation, and finishes
- Loss of rental income and reputational harm
- Compliance failures
Using HomeLINK to detect mould risk early helps reduce landlord blind spots, protect property value, and avoid spiralling costs.

Empower residents to reduce the risk of mould
Residents may not always realise the impact of their actions, like using a tumble dryer without airflow or not opening a window after showering, which can lead to mould in your home.
The HomeLINK Resident App provides tenants with information on actions they can take. These prompts help prevent mould growth, support healthier living, and reduce repeated mould problems.
