All affected materials and areas are scrubbed down, cleaned and sanitized. A clearance test is performed to guarantee that mold has been effectively removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are The Costs of Mold Removal?
When outbreaks strike, most property owners have already incurred the expense of water damage in Toronto, which can cause concerns about mold removal costs. Mold removal can range in price depending on various factors. Still, when it comes to remediation, it’s always best to spend on a trusted restoration company in Toronto rather than a mold removal spray or alternative DIY mold removal method. At Canada’s Restoration Services, we offer free visible mold inspections in the Greater Toronto Area to help streamline mold detection and removal. These visible inspections will reduce your overall mold removal costs, making mold remediation in Toronto more affordable.
Why Should I Hire a Professional Versus a Handyman?
Whether you have mold, a water damage or you have found asbestos in your property, hiring the right professional is very important. The right professional will be able to conduct the remediation efficiently, cost effective and ensure that everyone in the property is safe. Hiring a mold professional is able to identify the cause of the mold growth, therefore eliminating the chances of mold growth.
Mold remediation and mold removal in Toronto can be a costly process and deter property owners from hiring the right professionals for the task. Hiring a general handyman can be a costly mistake. Without the proper knowledge and the proper remediation protocols, handyman’s can be putting themselves as well as the people in the building at harm.
When hiring the right company it is important to look for previous references and all the right certifications. It is also important that the company holds the proper liability and insurances. These are the first major factors that a property owner must look for.
What's The Difference Between A Home Inspector And A Mold Inspector?
When it comes to inspecting your home, you may be wondering what the difference is between a home inspector and a mold inspector. Home inspectors go into many homes and look at the condition of the home overall, while mold inspectors specifically look for any signs of mold. If you're concerned about whether you may have a mold issue, it's important to get a mold inspection to get a closer look.
If you recently had water damage on your property, or if you experience allergy-like symptoms when you’re at home but not when you leave the house, there’s a chance that you may be dealing with a mold outbreak. As a fungus, mold releases toxic spores into the air. When inhaled, you can experience anything from wheezing to coughing, migraines and even vertigo. Professional mold removal services are the best approach to confirm your suspicions. And while do-it-yourself mold removal in Toronto is an option, it isn’t as effective as having Canada’s Restoration Services remove the contaminant, as our services guarantee the full removal of the fungi.
In most cases mold growth is obvious and can be confirmed with a visible inspection. There are many different types of mold and it can come in a variety of different colours (black, brown, green, white, etc). If left untreated, mold will continue to grow and spread and may become a much more dangerous issue; therefore a certified mold remediation company should be contacted to determine the severity and the best way to remediate. Another way to identify whether it is mold or not, is to have the area tested for mold. An environmentalist can come in and take a swab or perform and air quality test to determine what type of mold and how elevated the mold spores are.
There are three types of mold testing that are used in Toronto and elsewhere in Canada around the time of a mold inspection. Air quality testing is used to assess, as the name suggests, the indoor air quality of public, commercial, or residential buildings. When a mold inspection finds visible mold, it’s clear that mold removal in Toronto will be required. But air quality testing will give more insight into how effective remediation results are after removal.
Since mold spores exist naturally outdoors, they will inevitably travel through the air of our indoor spaces. Air quality testing will tell mold removal technicians at Canada’s Restoration Services whether there is a high concentration of mold in the air, indicating whether another mold outbreak will occur or is still hiding somewhere within the property.
