Mold Abatement and Remediation
The Dangers of Mold - Why Professional Help is Necessary
-
Health Hazards: Mold exposure can trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks, respiratory issues, and other adverse health effects.
-
Hidden Growth: Mold is often hidden behind walls, under flooring, or in ceiling cavities, requiring specialized tools to locate and contain.
-
Spore Spread: Improper cleanup (like dry brushing) can release millions of spores into the air, causing cross-contamination throughout the property.
Our 5-Phase Canadian-Compliant Mold Remediation Process
1. Assessment & Testing
-
Thorough visual inspection and moisture mapping to locate all mold and the water source causing it.
-
Air and surface sampling (if required) to identify mold species and concentration levels.
2. Containment
-
Establishing a containment zone using polyethylene sheeting and securing all HVAC systems.
-
Using Negative Air Pressure equipment to ensure no spores leave the work area and are filtered through HEPA filtration.
3. Mold Removal (Abatement)
-
Safe removal and bagging of all porous, mold-contaminated materials (e.g., drywall, insulation, carpeting).
-
Sanding, scrubbing, and HEPA-vacuuming all remaining non-porous surfaces.
4. Cleaning & Treatment
-
Application of specialized anti-microbial treatments to clean structural materials and prevent recurrence.
-
Cleaning and air-scrubbing the entire contained area until no visual mold or odour remains
5. Clearance Testing & Restoration
-
Post-remediation Clearance Testing (conducted by a third-party environmental hygienist, if required) to confirm spore levels are safe.
-
Repairing and restoring the structure to its pre-loss condition (reconstruction).
