The potential risks of mold on your health can vary depending on a number of factors from species and length of exposure to your current health conditions. While black mold is known for its serious health impact, even milder species of mold can cause discomfort and harm, so when you encounter an infestation seeking mold removal in Toronto should be a priority. Working with a trusted removal company like the certified team at Inch By Inch Inspections can help you maintain a healthy environment for you and your loved ones.
Though Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold) is most often associated with health concerns, it’s not the only culprit of mold-related illness. Other common species found indoors, such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, and Alternaria, can also lead to adverse effects , which is especially a problem for those with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems. These species may thrive in damp areas like basements, bathrooms, or behind walls and ceilings, often undetected without professional testing.
Symptoms of mold exposure can range from mild to severe. Common early signs include nasal congestion, coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, and skin irritation. In more people who are more sensitive or in cases of prolonged exposure, symptoms may escalate to headaches, fatigue, breathing difficulties, or worsening asthma. If these symptoms persist without a clear cause, it may be time to investigate your indoor environment.
Left untreated, mold will continue to spread and worsen both structural damage and health risks. Professional mold removal in Toronto helps eliminate the source of contamination and improve indoor air quality. Inch By Inch Inspections offers comprehensive testing, including home air quality assessments, to ensure a safer, cleaner living space for you and your family.
