What is Mould?

Mould is a type of fungi which is normally found in moist areas such as basements and bathrooms and can sometimes cultivate inside building structures. The difficulty with the presence of mould in buildings is the inhalation of mycotoxins.

Mould will feed on materials such as wood, cardboard, the paper facing on both sides of drywall, and carpet.

There are over 100,000 different types of moulds that can enter your home on clothing, shoes, and bags, or through open windows or air conditioning systems.

Mould travels through the air as spores breeding in wet areas. If mould is spotted, it’s best to deal with it at once so it does not multiply to other areas. It is also a good indication of a moisture problem which should be addressed.
