Mould is a naturally occurring fungus found in various environments, both indoors and outdoors. While most mould types are harmless, certain species can become a significant problem for residential and commercial properties, particularly when left unchecked. At WINMAR®, we understand the challenges that mould can pose and offer comprehensive property restoration services to address them.
What Is Mould?
Mould thrives in moist, warm environments and can grow on a variety of surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, and flooring. Common in areas like basements, bathrooms, and kitchens, mould can be unsightly and lead to unpleasant odours. More importantly, prolonged exposure to mould may contribute to respiratory issues, particularly for individuals with allergies or compromised immune systems.
What Is Toxic Mould?
Toxic mould, often referred to as black mould, is a subset of mould species that produce mycotoxins—compounds that can cause health issues ranging from mild irritation to severe reactions. Stachybotrys chartarum is one of the most recognized types of toxic mould. Found in areas with persistent moisture, such as after a water leak or flood, toxic mould requires immediate attention.
Common Causes of Mould Growth
- Water Leaks: Hidden leaks from sinks, pipes, or appliances can create an ideal environment for mould to grow.
- Flooding: Properties affected by floods are particularly susceptible to mould, as water can seep into walls, floors, and other materials.
- High Humidity: Regions with high humidity levels or poorly ventilated spaces often experience mould issues.
- Condensation: Condensation buildup on windows, pipes, and other surfaces can lead to mould over time.
