Mold Inspections in Vaughan

In August of 2009, a tornado tore through the Vaughan area, hitting more than 600 homes. Over $17 million in property damage was reported in just a handful of these homes alone, and many were declared unsafe in the aftermath. In late 2010 – one full year after the tornado – many of the damaged homes were still contaminated by mold from water damage.

While a number homes in Vaughan have been repaired or renovated since, the threat of mold remains in many area homes. Natural disasters aside, it doesn’t take much for mold to take hold.

Where Does Indoor Mold Come From?

Mold is found all around us in the natural environment, traveling through the air in the form of microscopic spores. These spores can survive nearly anywhere if the humidity is above 55%, which can result in a possible mold infestation in your home.

Mold can have a severe effect on your family’s health, aggravating allergies and asthma as well as causing lung damage, headaches, memory loss, skin problems and other respiratory issues. It’s important to undergo a mold inspection at the first sign of mold in your home. Unexplained illnesses, a musty odour and peeling paint are just some of the signs of a household mold infestation.

Why Undergo a Mold Inspection and Testing?

Mold can grow underneath carpets, behind shower tiles and inside of wall cavities where it can’t be found easily – which is why a mold inspection is the only way to completely know the extent of the problem. Professional mold testing will determine if mold exists and if so, what kind of mold it is (toxic or non-toxic). Some species of mold aggravate allergies, while others can lead to serious illness or death.

A mold inspection will not only find the mold, but will help you determine how it got there in the first place – whether from naturally high humidity in the home, a previous flood or hidden water damage from leaky pipes.
