Canada's Professional Home Inspections Inc

If you have musty odours, humidity issues, damp basement, water damage or visible mold in

your home, then you likely may have mold issues in your home. Most often, mold is not visible in the home

but our Certified Mold Inspectors can help determine if there are mold issues present.
Can Mold Become a Problem in My Home?
Mold growth may occur in your home if there is sufficient moisture because mold spores are everywhere. Be

on the lookout for these common sources of moisture:

Flooding
Roof leaks
Plumbing leaks, drainage problems
Damp basements and crawl spaces
Leaking basements and crawl spaces due to cracked foundations or grading problems
Steam from the bathroom or kitchen
Condensation resulting from poor or improper insulation or ventilation
Humidifiers
Wet clothes drying inside the home or a clothes dryer venting indoors
Poor or improper ventilation of combustion appliances

Indications of a moisture problem may include discoloration of the ceiling or walls, warping of the

floor, or condensation on the walls or windows. The key to preventing mold growth is to control all

moisture problems.
