Our Step-by-Step Mold Removal Process in Toronto
Successful mold removal requires a structured process. Our certified technicians in Toronto adhere to industry best practices and government guidelines that ensure thorough, safe remediation. Below is our step-by-step mold removal process:
1. Comprehensive Mold Inspection
Certified mold specialists from Canada’s Restoration Services carry out a comprehensive assessment of your property to pinpoint the presence of mold growth, sources of moisture, and the risk zones.
2. Third-Party Independent Air Quality Testing
We refer to accredited Environmental Hygienists to perform unbiased air quality tests, providing accurate measurements of mold spores and other contaminants. This ensures your home or business is assessed objectively.
3. Detailed Remediation Plan and Scope of Work
Once inspected and tested, if mold is visible, we will come up with a remediation plan that will be specific to your property's needs after an air quality report has been complete. You will know the steps involved and an estimate of how long the process will take, as your safety will be ensured through this plan.
4. Water Damage Assessment and Mitigation
If there is water damage present, we locate the source of the issue to take the necessary precautions and prevent any further growth in that area. Using thermal imaging, we can pinpoint water intrusion within 24-48 hours, helping to minimize additional damage. Mitigation may include drying, dehumidification, or water extraction in that area before restoration starts.
5. Mold Removal Services
All materials affected by mold are safely removed in full compliance with IICRC-certified standards, ensuring that the process meets the highest industry guidelines. At the same time, the remaining surfaces are thoroughly treated to inhibit any future growth, helping to protect your property and maintain a safe, healthy environment.
6. Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
Once remediation is complete, we do not perform clearance testing ourselves. However, we can refer a qualified third-party company to conduct it. It’s important to arrange this prior to starting the work, as containment must remain in place for accurate testing. The homeowner is responsible for coordinating with the third-party tester, ensuring the results remain unbiased. With this step, you can have confidence that your space meets the highest standards for indoor air quality and safety.
Reconstruction or Restoration
If any structural or finish components were removed during remediation, professional reconstruction or restoration services are available to return your home or business to its original condition or better, without sacrifice to safety or quality.
These steps ensure that mold is removed successfully, ensuring it will be safe to reoccupy your property.
