Mould is a common issue that can affect both residential and commercial properties. From homes to healthcare facilities, its presence can lead to structural damage and potential health concerns. Understanding the difference between ordinary mould and toxic mould is essential to effectively addressing the problem. With over 45 years of experience in Canada and a trusted reputation in property restoration, WINMAR® is equipped to provide reliable solutions for all your restoration needs.

What Is Mould?

Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in moist and humid conditions. It can grow on a variety of surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, floors, and even furniture. Mould spores are naturally present in the air, but they become problematic when they settle and grow indoors.

Common Causes of Mould Growth

  1. Water leaks: sinks, pipes, or roofs
  2. Poor ventilation in damp areas
  3. Flooding or water damage
  4. High humidity levels

What Is Toxic Mould?

Toxic mould refers to specific mould species that release mycotoxins, which can pose significant health risks. Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly known as black mould, is one such type. While all mould can cause property damage, toxic mould requires prompt and specialized attention.

The Impact of Mould and Toxic MouldResidential Properties

Mould can affect homes and outbuildings, causing unsightly damage and potential health issues.

For families, the presence of mould can create an uncomfortable and unsafe living environment.

Commercial Properties

In businesses such as food service, retail, healthcare facilities, and offices, mould can disrupt operations, damage inventory, and compromise safety standards. Quick action is critical to minimize downtime and maintain a safe workspace.

Why Addressing Mould Matters

Ignoring mould problems can lead to long-term damage to your property and health. Over time, mould weakens structural integrity and creates an environment unsuitable for habitation or work. Toxic mould, in particular, requires immediate and professional attention to avoid severe consequences.
