Why testing for mould is good for your home and your health
Briefly

Mould growth in homes often goes unnoticed until it becomes a significant problem, leading to both property damage and health concerns. Effective testing is key to identifying hidden mould hotspots, particularly in areas like bathrooms and basements. Even minor water damage can spur mould growth, emphasizing the importance of early detection. Experts advise regular testing for signs of dampness, such as musty smells or visual spots, to prevent extensive damage and health risks, especially for vulnerable populations like children and the elderly.
Mould often hides behind walls, under carpets, or in HVAC systems. If you've had water damage, even from a small leak, mould can grow within days.
Mould loves damp spots like bathrooms, basements, or under kitchen sinks. Visual signs include dark spots and musty odors, which should prompt testing.
