Can You Stay In Your Home During Mold Removal

While in most cases you do not have to leave your home or property during mold removal in Toronto, in many cases, remediation experts and medical professionals will recommend it as the best course of action. Vacating the property for a day or so can help restoration experts assess the damage of flooding or water damage in Toronto, mold, and other related damage. In doing so, you will also minimize your exposure to harmful mycotoxins that are emitted from many species of mold, including household types and toxic black mold.

Benefits of Leaving Your Property for Mold Removal

Vacating your home during the mold remediation can be beneficial in many ways, whether that’s stepping out for the day or spending the night elsewhere. Mold contaminates the air, especially in larger outbreaks, leaving occupants exposed to toxins and susceptible to adverse health effects. Continued exposure to mold has been linked to symptoms such as headaches, migraines, skin irritation, eye irritation, coughing, runny nose, post-nasal drip, and nausea. 

When you schedule a mold inspection in Toronto, our team will complete a comprehensive assessment of your property to determine the extent of the outbreak and the required scope of work. If mold is found in multiple rooms, it is often more difficult to occupy the space, and it is better to take some time away and return to a revived living space free of harmful toxins and smelly infestations. 

Professional mold remediation technicians will typically use industrial equipment and advanced technology to support the removal of affected materials and compromised air. For liability and insurance reasons, many companies may require that you leave the premises during mold removal, even if it’s just for a few hours. This is to ensure that you are safe during the process and only trained personnel are on-site. 

At Canada’s Restoration Services, an IICRC-certified restoration company, we take the time to do everything right, following the process, local regulations, and our best practices.
