Preventing mould in buildings
Increasingly, we are talking about specific kinds of mould, not just old mould. And due to the emergence of these conversations, you likely have some questions:
- Is this a new problem or just one that our technology is now allowing us to detect more effectively?
- Are we overreacting or should we be concerned?
- If we should be concerned, what products or actions are most effective?
Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer. However, we do have better technology that allows us to understand and analyze more of the world around us. Therefore, the buzz around air quality issues is likely a result of engineers and scientists learning more about it.
Mould Issues In Buildings
Unfortunately, it is true that homes and buildings that are more vulnerable to conditions promote the growth of mould. It is also true that mould is one of the most common causes of frequently reported respiratory problems.
The following is intended to provide an overview of what we know about mould and what we can do about it. Before you take any action in your own home or building, however, you should consult a local specialist: a building inspection engineer.
The Problem with Mould
The problem of mould is one that no building owner or manager can afford to ignore. Mould has been suggested as one possible factor in so-called Sick Building Syndrome. The unusual weather conditions in recent years have provided good conditions for the growth of toxigenic fungi and increased the potential for human exposure.
Throughout the country, deaths of children from pulmonary hemosiderosis (bleeding lung disease) have been attributed to inhalation of toxins produced by the fungus Stachybotrys chartarum.
The Cost of Mould Remediation
Mould remediation can be costly. Costs vary widely depending on the size of the property, and extent of the mould growth and from province to province or city-to-city. Generally, the cost can range from $550 to $30,000 or more.

Determining the cause of the problem, whether that is a leaky roof, facade issues, excess humidity, or a malfunctioning HVAC system, is often a complex process of detective work. There are often false leads, and inexperienced people often mistake effect for cause, leading to a misdiagnosis.
Breathing contaminated air can lead to respiratory irritations and, for some, can be life-threatening. It is time well spent to inspect the buildings in which you live and work to determine if there are any suspect conditions that might lead to a mould infestation. If there are, testing, source identification, and remediation should follow quickly.
For help with mould remediation or suspected mould problems, the first step is to contact an engineer who is qualified to perform the diagnostics necessary to determine the root cause of the problem.
