Mould is a common issue that property owners encounter, whether in residential homes, commercial buildings, or outbuildings. While most mould types are relatively harmless, certain types of toxic mould pose significant risks to both health and property integrity. At WINMAR®, we’ve been working alongside Canadians for over 45 years, delivering trusted property restoration services coast-to-coast through our network of 90 franchises. Our trained and certified teams specialize in identifying and resolving mould concerns efficiently and safely.
What is Mould?
Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, humid environments. It can grow on a variety of surfaces, including drywall, wood, tiles, and fabrics. Mould spores are microscopic and naturally occur in the air. However, when they settle on moist surfaces, they can multiply rapidly, leading to visible mould colonies.
Common Causes of Mould Growth
- Water leaks from pipes, sinks, or appliances
- Poor ventilation in kitchens, bathrooms, or basements
- Flood damage or prolonged exposure to moisture
- High humidity levels exceeding 60%
What is Toxic Mould?
Toxic mould, such as Stachybotrys chartarum (commonly known as black mould), produces mycotoxins that can be harmful to health. Prolonged exposure to these toxins may lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health complications. Identifying and addressing toxic mould requires expertise to ensure both safety and thorough remediation.
Signs of Toxic Mould
- Persistent musty odours
- Visible black or dark green patches on walls or ceilings
- Increased allergy or asthma symptoms in occupants

Water Leaks: The Root Cause of Many Mould Problems
Water leaks are one of the most common causes of mould growth. Promptly addressing leaks is crucial to preventing mould from taking hold. Common sources of leaks include:
- Pipes: Damaged or aging pipes can result in hidden leaks behind walls.
- Sinks: Improperly sealed or worn-out fixtures often cause leaks in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Appliances: Dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerators with faulty seals or connections can release water over time.
If you suspect a water leak in your property, trust WINMAR® to locate and repair the source while addressing any resulting mould issues.
Why Timely Mould Remediation is Critical
Delaying mould remediation can lead to:
- Structural damage to property
- Increased health risks for occupants
- Higher costs for repair and restoration
By addressing mould problems promptly, property owners can prevent further damage and ensure a safe environment for residents or occupants.
