Mould Control in Toronto, GTA and all of Ontario


Microscopic Mould
Gone are the days when Mould (or Mold - both spellings are acceptable) was simply the ‘nasty black stuff’ growing on a wall that was cleaned up with some bleach.  Today we are more aware of indoor air quality and that exposure to mould can cause a wide variety of illnesses. Symptoms such as allergenic reactions or asthma attacks, can progress into severe and chronic ailments with prolonged exposure. 
It doesn't matter where you live: Mississauga, Waterloo or Barrie, mould is everywhere. It’s in the air we breathe and grows on virtually any surface. In fact there are over 1,000 species of mold in Canada. So what can you do to protect yourself from mould and maintain reasonable indoor air quality?

Control the Moisture, Control the Mould.
Mould requires water to grow, so it is important to prevent moisture problems in buildings. When poor ventilation is mixed with high humidity, often caused by leaking roofs and basements, the right environment for mould growth is created. Under these conditions visible mould can appear in 24 hours and will flourish, if left unchecked, eventually becoming airborne spores.

 What do you do if you see or suspect you have mould? It is recommended you get a qualified mold inspector to do an assessment. Many home owners have unwittingly made their mould situation worst by attempt to remedy the problem themselves.  
The inspector will test and safely remove the mould, while keeping everything outside the contamination area free from spores.  Indoor air quality testing performed before and after the clean-up, will confirm the mould has been effectively removed.

  2. Mold spores grows during weather conditions and it will die off in cold condition. So always clean the damp surface. Mold spores are very hazardous to the health conditions. Mould can’t grow without air and water. So take care of roof leaking, basement leaking and moisture. If it is grown more than 10 square feet, you need to call a mould specialist for inspection and testing.

  3. Molds are part of the natural environment. In outdoors, molds play an important part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, etc. But indoors, mold growth should be avoided and prevented. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye (only on microscope) and float through outdoor and indoor air and contaminate areas. Mold may begin to grow indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet or areas with moisture. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. So, moisture plays a great part of it.
    They attack usually on foods but they also attack non-food items like leather, wood and porcelain. Do you notice your allergic reactions are worse when you're at home but you feel better when you go out? Well, expect it. If so then it's especially likely you could have mold. Don’t go weary of staying in one place. Find a way for mold detection

  9. I had a serious mold issue in my bathroom that bleach did not do anything for. I bleached numerous times but the mold continued to come back. My daughter is allergic to chlorine so each time she would have to stay at her father's house because she couldn't use the bathroom. I sprayed the Concrobium Mold Control all over the Shower and bathroom walls within a few hours it got rid of the mold.

  10. If you see mold near water pipes, waste lines, icemaker lines or plumbing fixtures, chances are the mold is feeding off a nearby leak. Let the water run while you check the pipes and surrounding area for damp spots. Remember that water can travel in any direction—down, sideways or even up when it wicks into absorbent material like drywall—so the actual leak may be some distance from the mold.
