What is mold ?

Mold is a fungus, which can be found in any location, indoors or outside, provided there is a supportive surface, warm temperatures, a supply of nutrients and moisture. Since the early 1990's mold has become a controversial indoor environmental issue when its' presence was detected in buildings throughout North America.

Where does mold grow ?

Mold is commonly found in water damaged buildings, portables, basements, attics and bathrooms, recent studies have revealed that one in three Canadian homes contain mold growths that are serious enough to create health problems. A greenish black staining of the surrounding area which is usually accompanied by a damp, dank odour easily identifies it. These conditions are extremely prevalent during the spring or hot summer and occur in indoor locations that normally suffer from poor ventilation, high humidity, flooding or excessive condensation. Newer buildings can also generate mold growths if windows aren't properly sealed or if certain pipes are poorly insulated.

How can mold be prevented ? Detection and what to look for:

  • Moisture condensation on windows or around doors
  • Cracking of plasterboard
  • Peeling or cracking paint
  • Drywall tape loosening
  • Wood warping
  • Musty odor

Prevention Techniques

  • Keep humidity levels below 40% and ventilating showers, cooking areas and clothes dryer vents can slow mold growth.
  • Use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier during humid months.
  • Add mold inhibitors to paints before painting.
  • Clean bathrooms with mold killing products.
  • Do not carpet bathrooms, laundry rooms or other areas, which frequently get wet.
  • Remove or replace previously soaked carpets, pads and upholstery.

How can I tell if there is mold in my home or building?

  • Search behind and underneath materials like wallpaper, carpet and pad, sink cabinets, furniture, pictures.
