Mould worries Brockville homeowners, and some concern is warranted. Here's the measured picture.

The risks

Mould can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory irritation, especially in children, older adults, and anyone sensitive.

The type matters less than the fact that it's growing — which means a moisture problem. Proper remediation plus fixing the source solves both.

If anyone in the home has unexplained respiratory symptoms, don't wait to address visible mould.

Do I need to test the mould type?

Usually not — visible mould should be removed regardless of type, and the moisture source fixed.
