Dangers of Mold in Your Home

Mold growth, aka microbial growth, generally occurs with the elevation of moisture in an indoor environment where common building materials are present. High humidity or water damage, if present for periods of 24 to 48 hours can and will promote the growth of mould spores. While mould spores are always present indoors, they are usually at acceptable levels. It’s the change in humidity and addition of water that starts the growth cycle for Mold in your home.

Who is At Risk From Exposure to Mould?

While Everyone is at Risk, those who are higher at risk include individuals with mold allergies may have more severe reactions. Immune-compromised people and people with chronic lung illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may get serious infections in their lungs when they are exposed to mold. Children and infants are also more prone to the effects of Mold as well due to their body weight. Pregnant women, as well as asthma sufferers, are indeed at high risk. 

Mold Symptoms in the Home

Most types of mold release spores into the air and can cause a variety of illnesses as well as other health issues.
If you notice any of the symptoms below when you or your family are in the house, you might consider investigating for mold with a mould inspection and/ or indoor air quality test.

Visible mold can appear where any excess moisture is present. Areas that are most common include:

  • Attic Mold
  • Mold in the Basement
  • Crawlspace Mold
  • Laundry Rooms
  • Kitchen Mould

  • Window Mold is also very common due to condensation.
In the winter months, we often mistake the signs of mould exposure for the common cold, due to the lack of outside ventilation.

  • Coughing or Wheezing
  • Eye irritation
  • Skin irritation
  • flu-like symptoms
  • Watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion

The Process and Protocols We Use

Our starts with a full inspection of your home. This will include structural inspection, moisture readings, preliminary tests of suspected mould. If it is suspected that there is an elevated mould count, we would likely recommend an indoor air quality test. We use a 3rd party test with an air quality hygienist to maintain the integrity of the results. Once it’s established that there are elevated mould counts, the remediation would commence based on the protocol set out by the hygienist.

Our Team would isolate the area’s deemed contaminated to prevent the mould spores. The decontamination and removal of the affected materials would happen afterwards. We would also completely clean the area by way of HEPA Vacuuming, use of Negative Air Pressure, Antimicrobials, as well as remediating the cause of the mould and sealing the structural materials affected with a sealer to prevent further mould grown or re-occurrence.

It would be recommended following the remediation to have a follow-up air quality test for safety clearance. Especially if the counts were excessively high, to begin with.
