Molds are microscopic fungi that thrive in the presence of moisture. A mold problem in a building can affect the air quality and cause various respiratory problems for sensitive people. Although everyone reacts differently to exposure to molds, the following are the main symptoms that may be experienced:

​

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

​

  • Eye and throat irritation

  • Headaches and chronic fatigue

  • Sneezing, cough

  • Worsening of asthma attacks

A mold problem in a building can develop as a result of water infiltration, or be the result of constant excessive humidity, lack of ventilation or a problem with drainage.

Some molds can produce toxic substances known as mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are low-volatility secondary metabolites produced by various molds under specific environmental conditions.

 
Effects of mycotoxins

​

Mycotoxins can have deleterious effects on health, depending on :

  • Their mode of action

  • The nature and scale of the exposure

  • The susceptibility of the exposed person

 
It is therefore important to prevent contamination by mycotoxins, by controlling the environmental conditions favorable to their production by molds.

Why test for mould in your home?

Mold is often invisible to the naked eye and can grow in hard-to-reach places, such as behind walls, ceilings and siding. A home mold test is therefore essential to detect any early infestation and take corrective action before it becomes a major problem. Our team uses advanced spotting techniques to pinpoint affected areas, enabling rapid and effective intervention.
