Welcome to Moisture, Mould, and Indoor Air Quality: Understanding the Link — a comprehensive course designed for professionals in the restoration, building, environmental health, and facilities management industries who are committed to creating healthier indoor environments.
Mould is more than just an unsightly nuisance — it’s a biological contaminant that thrives in moist environments and can have serious consequences for both building materials and occupant health. Understanding the science behind moisture intrusion, mould growth, and their impact on indoor air quality is critical to preventing costly damage and protecting public health.
This course brings together the essential knowledge and tools needed to identify, investigate, and manage moisture and mould in buildings. Whether you’re responding to water damage, improving air quality, or ensuring compliance with industry standards, this training will strengthen your foundation and improve your on-the-job decision-making.
Throughout the course, you’ll explore topics such as:
The biological behaviour of mould spores and their activation by moisture
Common sources of hidden and visible moisture in buildings
How mould impacts air quality, including chemical and biological emissions
High-risk building materials and HVAC system vulnerabilities
Health effects of exposure to mould-contaminated air
Inspection protocols, air sampling, and moisture detection tools
Drying strategies to prevent regrowth after water damage
Safe remediation practices and techniques for air quality recovery
Clear communication and professional documentation practices
This is more than a technical training—it’s a guide to better outcomes for clients, healthier indoor spaces, and professional excellence in the field of restoration and environmental health.
Let’s get started.
