Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Toxic Mould Prevention, Inspection, Testing and Remediation from Canadian Residents

<<February 06, 2005>>

A. We are considering purchasing a home that has just been built here in Alberta. A few weeks ago my realtor informed me that a clamp on the main bathroom sink broke off in the middle of the night, sending water throughout the main floor and down the stairs to the finished basement. The water was discovered the next morning after it happened. The flooring on the main floor was ripped out (down to the plywood) and the basement was completely gutted down to the studs. Fans were used to air out the floors and the wet gyproc was taken out.

I walked through the house today and everything seemed dry to me. The basement had been completely re-drywalled. I know this because it was completely finished when I walked through before the accident. I could not smell anything that would indicate mould or mildew. It is extremely dry up here in the winter.  Although I feel much better after seeing what was replaced and taken out, I still have a nagging feeling I should protect myself "just in case". We do wish to purchase this property but of course want to protect our investment. What do you suggest? 

Q. All of the timbers inside the walls, the new gypsum boards, and the entire cleaned out area should have been inspected for  mould growth,  mould remediated, and then sprayed with at least two wet sprayings of a fungicide, followed up by the application of antimicrobial coating. Learn the 25 steps for safe and effective  mould remediation at http://www.moldinspector.com/mold_removal.htm. At this point in time, since you really like the home, you should use our do it yourself  mould test kits [which we can send to you in Canada] to  mould test the air of the basement, each room, attic, and the outward air flow from each heating/cooling duct register.

Q. We live in Canada in a 4 year old house. Over the last two weeks, we have been smelling this unusual smell in the basement. It is very difficult to determine what it is. It is sort of stagnant old type of odor. The smell comes and goes throughout the day. It is particularly worse around dinner. There are no signs of mice or any other anima. We have no pets either.

The smell is now coming through the vent of my son’s room which is on top floor, yet there is no smell at all on the main floor. It seems to be concentrated in the ceiling area of the basement near the front door (it is an unfinished basement). Yet the vent up to my son’s room is on the other side of the basement. There are no signs of  mould or moisture along the walls or floor. We are going crazy to figure it out! Do you have any suggestions? We need to stop this very annoying odour!

Q. My wife and I bought a 50 year old house in Barrie, Ontario 3 years ago. I started sleeping in the basement guest room and became rather ill – dizziness and then pneumonia.

For 3 years running, I have contracted pneumonia, and I am thinking it is something in the basement. Whether I am in the workshop area or the guest room or anywhere for a prolonged period (3-4) days), I seem to feel real woozy and running nose and stuffed up nose.

The illness cleared up but I am still stuffed and I wonder if it is a basement air quality thing. My immune system is low because it has not affected my wife. Can you help me?

A. To find out if your serious  mould health problem might be related to your living in  mould contamination, you should  mould test the basement and your entire house with our do-it-yourself mold test kits we can express to you in Canada. Any existence of molds in your home can be associated with your health conditions. You also need to see your physician immediately. Here are other helpful suggestions:

To get rid of the  mould threat to your health and real estate investment, check your home or other building for water intrusion problems. Make sure your kitchen and bathroom exhaust vents go directly to the outside, not into your attic or inside walls. Check your home or building carefully for roof, siding, plumbing water leaks, construction defects, or maintenance degradation, which permit water to enter your home.

Properly vent the attic to allow moisture to escape rather than collect in the attic. Attic  mould easily grows into the walls and ceilings below. Check all areas of your house or building year round (including basement, crawl space, each room, attic and garage) for the possibility of high indoor humidity with a $30 hygrometer from a large hardware store, Home Depot, or Lowe’s.

If the humidity exceeds 50-60% some or all of the year, you have invited  mould to be your permanent building resident. Use a programmable dehumidifier to keep indoor moisture to a mold-discouraging 30-40%. Air conditioning systems should be checked to ensure that they drain properly and do not retain moisture. Moisture along with dust particles that occur in the system, creates a breeding ground for  mould that spread via the heating/cooling system through out the house or building. You should visually check all areas of your home or building with a flashlight and your sense of smell (e.g. duct registers, attic, crawl space, basement, etc.) in accordance with the physical  mould inspection tips provided at Mould Inspection. You should use our do it yourself  mould test kits to  mould test any visible  mould growths, the air of each room, basement, crawlspace, attic, garage, the outward air flow from each heating/cooling duct register, and inside the passenger compartment of your vehicles (often  mould cross contaminated if your home or office is  mould infested). If there is even a hidden  mould problem inside the basement, crawlspace, attic, walls, ceilings and the heating/cooling system, usually detectable airborne  mould spores will make it into the air. If the indoor  mould levels are elevated in comparison to your outdoor  mould control test, you know that you probably have a serious  mould problem which needs further investigation and possible  mould remediation. Watch the  mould test kits for 7 consecutive days.

Use our self-analysis forms for analyzing the results of your various  mould test samplings. If any of the test kits show a large number of  mould colonies of one or more different types of  mould (visually different to you), you can also submit the  mould test kits mold laboratory for  mould analysis and  mould species identification.

Complete  mould test instructions, self-analysis procedures, and testing techniques are explained in the website section Mould Inspection. If  mould test results indicate a problem, you may then want to hire a Certified Mould Inspector to use fiber optics to inspect inside walls, ceilings, floors and the heating/cooling ducts for evidence of physical  mould growth and to do in depth  mould investigation and inspection.
