Mould is a type of fungus. We cannot stop it, but we can avoid it in our buildings. If mould is visible or odour is detectable, there is too much mould. Exposure to mould can have health impacts. Before you work to remediate mould, consult a qualified professional and research best practices for mould removal. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has detailed guidelines for how to clean up mould safely, and when to call in a qualified mould remediation expert.
