WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL A MOULD REMOVAL PROFESSIONAL?

You can often eliminate a minor mould spot on a wall without expert assistance. For significant mould issues, especially black mould, it's safest to hire professionals for thorough and effective cleanup.

According to Health Canada, an area of mould is assessed to be large if a single patch measures more than three square metres. For areas of this size and larger, it recommends using a qualified technician for safe and efficient removal, plus a professional assessment to determine why the mould is there in the first place.

Our technicians undergo professional training in comprehensive mould remediation. And we employ the safest, most effective techniques for solving any mould issue.

A MUSTY SMELL CAN MEAN TROUBLE

Typically, if there's a musty or mouldy odour, it's likely to be mould. Mould or mildew smells come from fungi in the air, pipes, walls, or other areas of your business property. Mould is thicker than mildew. If the smell is particularly strong, that’s a clue that it’s mould and you need to act fast to prevent further growth.
