Mould is a naturally occurring organism that grows in buildings where the moisture, air, a food source, and temperature all meet the conditions for growth. Mould is everywhere, indoors and outdoors and not all moulds are bad mould. If mould levels indoors the house are higher than levels found outside the house, the house air could be compromised and reasons for concern may apply.
Mould inside a home is generally caused by some form of water intrusion. Since some moulds only need 24-48 hours to start growing, finding the source of the water intrusion and eliminating this source should be top priority in reducing the growth of mould indoors.
If you suspect mould in your home, you may want to consider a mould inspection to further evaluate the possible problem. This home inspection process includes sampling, which is an effective method to assist and determine the scope of the problem and to understand what areas of the property have been impacted.
