According to Quebec Health and Social Services: “...mould disperses into the surrounding air breathable particles that may, in certain cases, lead to health problems”.
Air infiltration affects both your wallet and your well-being. Air infiltration greatly contributes to an increase in your energy bills. Even with the thermostat turned up, cold air comes in and causes drafts that make certain rooms uncomfortable and difficult to keep warm.
