Mould is a common concern for property owners, whether residential or commercial. While it may seem like a minor inconvenience, mould growth can lead to serious consequences for the structure and safety of a building. Even more alarming is the presence of toxic mould, which poses health risks to occupants. As a trusted leader in property restoration with over 45 years of experience, WINMAR® is here to help you understand the difference and address mould-related issues effectively.

What Is Mould?

Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, humid conditions. It can grow on virtually any surface, including walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. Common in areas with moisture problems, such as bathrooms, basements, and kitchens, mould spreads quickly if left unchecked. For residential and commercial property owners, mould can cause significant damage, affecting aesthetics, air quality, and structural integrity.

What Is Toxic Mould?

Toxic mould refers to certain types of mould that produce mycotoxins, harmful compounds that can cause severe health issues. The most well-known type of toxic mould is Stachybotrys chartarum, often called black mould. Exposure to toxic mould can lead to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health complications. For properties like hospitals, healthcare facilities, and retirement homes, addressing toxic mould promptly is critical to ensuring the safety of occupants.

Common Causes of Mould Growth

Understanding the causes of mould growth can help property owners take proactive steps to prevent it:

  1. Water Leaks: Leaking pipes, roofs, sinks, or appliances can create the ideal environment for mould.
  2. Humidity: High indoor humidity levels, often caused by inadequate ventilation, encourage mould growth.
  3. Flooding: Water damage from floods can lead to extensive mould problems if not addressed quickly.
  4. Poor Maintenance: Neglected gutters, damaged foundations, and other maintenance issues can contribute to moisture buildup.

Why Mould Should Be Addressed Promptly

Ignoring mould can lead to:

  1. Health Risks: Respiratory problems, skin irritation, and allergic reactions.
  2. Structural Damage: Weakening of walls, ceilings, and other structural elements.
  3. Decreased Property Value: Mould damage can significantly reduce the resale value of a property.

For commercial properties such as offices, retail stores, or food service establishments, mould issues can also disrupt operations, leading to financial losses and reputational damage.
