Whilst there are some ‘good’ molds, such as penicillin, when grown in controlled conditions, most molds, and there are over 270 species of mold, are harmful to your health and damaging to materials. At Mold Busters, we have been removing mold from buildings for many years from Ottawa to Orleans, Vanier to Aylmer, and Gatineau to Toronto.

Mold needs moisture to grow and moisture occurs in just about every house up and down the country, and outside! It generates a musty smell and the spores can cause a range of illnesses if being breathed for a long period of time, especially in children. The higher the moisture level, the more likely mold will grow and the more likely it will be severe.

Moisture developing in the home is just about unavoidable with bathing, washing clothes and cooking going on daily, but lack of ventilation allows moisture to accumulate and if this isn’t dealt with, mold will also accumulate, rapidly. Mold removal is essential and is the process of getting rid of the mold from contaminated areas, but it is not a job that should be tackled without professional help. At Mold Busters, not only will we find the source of the mold, we will carry out a thorough mold removal and clean-up procedure, and recommend ways in which you can prevent mold from returning.

If you are not sure if you have a mold problem, Mold Busters can carry out a mold inspection for you and do an air test to measure the level of mold spores in the atmosphere. Once the extent of the mold infestation has been ascertained and the source of the moisture has been located and fixed, the mold will be removed from the contaminated areas, including dead mold, together with any damaged materials, such as fabrics, wood, etc. Once it is completely removed, the clean-up process can begin and this may mean drying equipment being in place for a few days. At Mold Busters, our mold technicians will apply a polymeric disinfectant to prevent and protect against mold growth in the future. Not only that, but our mold removal in ottawa service is backed by a 3-year warranty.
