Following an outbreak in a home or commercial property, property owners should invest time and resources into reducing the chances of repeat infestations and the recurring need for mold removal in Toronto. Mold infestations follow similar patterns regardless of species, which helps property owners address vulnerabilities that make them susceptible to outbreaks. Mold removal in Toronto is most often needed when a property has excess moisture and humidity. This can be the result of build up overtime or unexpected water damage in Toronto. If you think you often need mold remediation in Toronto, pay attention to your water-based appliances, roof, basements, and bathrooms.

1. Clean up wet areas of your home

Mold can start occurring in damp areas within 24 hours. It is important to keep your home as dry as possible. We understand that there may be unfortunate situations, including water damages and/or floods.

That is why we offer water damage solutions as well.

When you discover a leak, it is best to fix the leak. Of course, keep the area as clean as possible, but try to have a plumber come in as soon as is possible to stop the leak permanently. Leaks (mixed with a few other elements) can form into mold.

3. Make sure the ground slopes away from your house.

If the ground slopes towards your home, you are at an increased risk of flooding along the foundation and into your basement. This can cause a greater risk of mold forming in your home.

4. Reduce the humidity in your home.

There are a number of ways you can do this. For areas prone to humidity, like the bathroom and kitchen, make sure you have ventilation systems in place like fans and open windows. Use the air conditioning if necessary or purchase a dehumidifier for areas in your home that are humid. Mold needs humidity to grow, so if you remove this completely from your home, you will have better odds when trying to prevent it.

5. Equip your home with mold-resistant materials.

When building or renovating your home, keep in mind new products and technologies that have been designed to resist mold growth. Drywall is composed of gypsum plaster pressed between stacks of paper. New moisture resistant drywall is paperless — the gypsum core is covered in fiberglass, making the surface highly water-resistant. This new type of drywall is especially valuable in areas prone to wetness, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and kitchens. These products will save you time and money in the long run. If you have issues with areas of your house being damp, it is worth it to invest in the upgrades.

What do I do when I discover mold in my house?

When a porous surface in your home is exposed to dampness and moisture, a breeding ground for mold will exist. After 36-48 hours, if not cleaned properly, mold can grow exponentially and become an even bigger problem. The best thing you can do is deal with mold as soon as you notice it in your home. This will save you time and money and prevent any potential health-related issues.

2. Do not go near the mold.

Mold can cause many serious health problems, especially serious respiratory issues. The reason why professional mold companies are in business is that they have the proper technology and equipment to deal with the mold in your home.
