Mould Removal
Mould is notorious for destroying buildings if left unchecked. Worse yet, studies show that it can harm your physical health and lead to chronic illness.
- Class A moulds can cause infections or damage either through direct inhalation of spores or through toxins they produce.
- Class B moulds are known to cause allergic reactions over prolonged exposure.
- Class C moulds have no known health effects or allergic reactions in humans, but may still cause structural damage if left unattended.
Within these three categories, numerous types of mould in a variety of colours exist, though some are more relevant to homeowners than others. Toronto mould removal can be tricky, so here is a quick primer on some of the more common moulds that detection and removal services in Toronto often have to deal with.
