In its early stages, black mold isn’t very noticeable to homeowners. Sometimes it begins to develop beneath surfaces that are part of our everyday paths, giving them the space and lack of disruption spores need to develop into a full mold infestation. When most homeowners begin to suspect there could be a mold problem, it is when an infestation creates an unpleasant odour in the home. Even still, as an odour alone, all of the affected areas can be difficult to hunt down without the expertise of a certified and trusted professional who specializes in black mold removal. At Inch By Inch Inspections, our team provides mold inspection and mold removal in Toronto to stop harmful mold from affecting your home and family.
Look out for black mold in these areas around your home that are most vulnerable.
Bathroom

The most constant trigger for mold is moisture. In your bathroom, water and humidity are often abundant. From showers, sinks, and toilets, to pipes, attic/roof leaks, and even window condensation. What can increase the likelihood of mold in your bathroom, in addition to moisture, is poor ventilation. In the humid environment, mold spores need to have a path to circulate outside of that space, but when fans and windows are not effective, you risk encountering mold on the bathroom's walls, floors, ceilings, tile grout, and even soft fabrics like bathmats and towels. If you see black mold in your bathroom, don’t try to eliminate it yourself, as this can result in spores being left behind that you are unable to see, increasing the chance of a new infestation in a short period of time. Instead, contact Inch By Inch Inspections to assess the situation, determine the species, and streamline your mold removal in Toronto.
Kitchen
Your kitchen is another spot that mold frequents because of cooking, running water, and steam. Small leaks under the sink, condensation behind appliances, or even a dripping dishwasher hose can create damp, enclosed spaces where mold thrives.
Black mold often appears behind refrigerators, around window sills, or under flooring near plumbing. Because it hides well, you might not see visible signs until the damage becomes extensive. Pay close attention to musty odours, discolouration on drywall, or warped cabinetry. These are early warning signs that moisture is trapped somewhere nearby and mold might be too.
Attic
The attic is often the source of mold in homes, and that includes black mold, too. However, the attic is not as easy to assess for an infestation without the proper experience and equipment. Mold can quickly grow in attics because of the heat, potential moisture from leaks, organic materials in insulation, and a lack of disruption. In the attic, you may find you need mold removal for insulation, wooden beams, and any potential storage. It’s always recommended to get professionals to execute your attic black mold removal because of the potential hazards in the attic and because of the harm of mold spores in a confined space.
