Mold Removal in Toronto and the GTA
Our mold removal service starts with the moisture problem and affected materials. Call 416-989-7440 to discuss visible growth, a musty smell or damp areas at your property.
Mold removal starts with the moisture source
Mold can grow where a leak, condensation or other moisture problem remains. First, report where the growth appears and whether the area has flooded before. Next, a visual check and moisture assessment help guide the next step.
In fact, Health Canada does not recommend routine air testing for mold. Instead, a thorough inspection is usually a better starting point. Read its guide to moisture and mould indoors.
Plan mold removal around the materials
The cleanup method depends on the size of the affected area, the surface and any hidden damage. For example, some surfaces allow cleaning, while other materials need removal. Then discuss containment, access and the proposed scope before work begins.
However, do not paint over visible growth or disturb a large affected area without advice. Also, keep people away from work that could spread dust or contaminated material.
Prevent moisture after mold removal
However, mold removal alone does not fix the source of moisture. A plumbing leak or other water-entry problem needs attention as part of the plan. Our water restoration service explains drying after water damage.
After cleanup, ask what checks and maintenance steps suit the property. Also keep the area under review and report any return of dampness.
