So you've discovered mold in your home and are concerned. Don’t panic. The truth is, we are exposed to mold on a daily basis. Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates inside the home, mold growth can occur, particularly if the moisture problem goes unaddressed for some time. Additional factors such as above normal humidity levels or poor ventilation also play a critical role in the development of mold, as these factors help create ideal environments for mold growth. The most common health impact from mold infestations are allergy and respiratory related. In rare situations, certain types of mold can present a higher toxicity risk. It is impossible to eliminate mold and mold spores outdoors. But indoor mold can be effectively controlled. By deploying proven mold removal and prevention strategies, indoor mold can be managed. To fully assess your mold situation, it is best to hire a certified Mississauga Mold Professional that can evaluate the extend of the mold damage and determine the source of the problem.

Trying to remove mold, especially black mold or other toxic molds using household bleach or other DIY products that promise to remove mold could be a big mistake. These products are limited in scope and are often very toxic. Many claim to be able to clean mold from walls and other surfaces, and while this that may be true, the results are often temporarily because these products don’t help to identify the root cause of the mold. Hidden mold, left unaddressed, will often re-infest the same adjacent areas.

A DIY product can’t determine the type of mold you are dealing with or identify what may be fueling the mold growth. When visual mold is present, often hidden mold also exists. A professional knows what to look for and can structure a comprehensive mold remediation plan that addresses the entire mold problem, not just what can be seen by the naked eye. They also know how to remove mold without contaminating other areas of the property.

More importantly, if you are selling your Mississauga home, bleaching off mold from visual surfaces may seem like and easy and affordable solution. But be aware, the home inspector of any prospective buyer will more than likely discover the mold issues and report them to the buyers; potentially spoiling or a least delaying the sale.
