- skin rash or itching
- flu-like symptoms
- asthma attacks
- constant headaches
- memory problems
- mood changes
- aches and pains
- possible fever
- and rarely, pneumonia.
Avoid These Common Mistakes

- Thinking you can use bleach to get rid of black mold
- Thinking you can paint over black mold to get rid of it
- Disturbing black mold and releasing mold spores into the air.
If You Have Mold in Your Home, Don't panic! We Can Help!
The good news is that not all black molds that occur indoors can affect your health, but even a small amount of mold growing in your home should be identified. Current Canadian mold guidelines advise building occupants to clean-up and/or remove visible mold growth. You can control mold growth by eliminating or reducing moisture in your home.
Caution: If you have a large amount of black mold present (over 10 square feet), please call a professional. Trying to remove large amounts of hazardous mold without specialized protection equipment and expertise in handling hazardous material can result in heavy exposure to toxic mold spores, which may cause you or your family to become ill.
