FAQ's on Mold Removal & Remediation​

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve noticed a persistent musty smell, visible black, green, or white patches on walls, ceilings, or near plumbing, or experienced unexplained allergic reactions, there’s a good chance mold may be present. Mold often grows in damp areas like basements, bathrooms, attics, and behind drywall where leaks or high humidity exist. Because mold can be hidden behind walls or under flooring, the only way to be sure is through a professional mold inspection in Toronto. Our team uses advanced tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect mold growth even when it’s not visible.
Yes, mold can pose serious health risks—especially to young children, seniors, and individuals with allergies or asthma. Exposure to mold spores can lead to respiratory problems, chronic coughing, skin irritation, headaches, and fatigue. Black mold (Stachybotrys) is particularly harmful and should be dealt with immediately. Inhaling spores over time can weaken your immune system and trigger long-term health conditions. Our certified mold removal specialists in Toronto ensure your home is safe, clean, and mold-free by using proven remediation methods backed by industry standards (IICRC, MICRO, and CMRC certifications).
The cost of mold removal in Toronto can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the extent of mold growth, the type of mold, the location of the infestation (e.g., behind walls, in HVAC systems), and whether structural repairs are needed. On average, small jobs may start at a few hundred dollars, while larger remediation projects can cost several thousand. We offer free mold inspections and consultations to give you a transparent, accurate quote based on your situation. There are no hidden fees, and we walk you through every step of the process.

Our mold remediation process begins with a detailed inspection to determine the source and severity of the mold problem. We use specialized equipment to locate moisture and hidden mold growth. Once identified, we set up containment zones to prevent cross-contamination, apply negative air pressure using HEPA filters, and begin the safe removal of affected materials. All mold is treated with eco-friendly, antimicrobial solutions, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. After remediation, we conduct air quality testing in Toronto and the surrounding areas to ensure your space is safe for occupancy.

Mold can return if the underlying moisture issue isn’t properly resolved. That’s why at Mold Removal Remediation, we don’t just clean the surface — we identify the root cause, such as leaky pipes, poor ventilation, or roof leaks. After removal, we recommend corrective steps like improving airflow or fixing water damage to ensure the mold doesn’t come back. Our work is backed by industry certifications and experience, giving homeowners across Toronto peace of mind and long-term protection.
Even after visible mold is removed, mold spores may still linger in the air and affect your indoor air quality. Poor air quality can cause ongoing symptoms like sneezing, fatigue, or headaches, even in a cleaned environment. That’s why we recommend professional air quality testing in Toronto following any remediation project. Our team uses high-precision sampling equipment to test for airborne mold spores, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). If elevated spore levels are found, we offer air purification and further remediation until your space meets safe indoor standards.

During a professional mold inspection, our certified technicians perform a thorough visual assessment of your property, looking for visible signs of mold and water intrusion. We also use specialized equipment such as moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to detect hidden mold and moisture behind walls, ceilings, and floors. Air and surface samples may be collected and sent to a third-party lab to identify the exact mold species. This step is crucial before beginning any remediation work and can help determine the extent of contamination. [Link to: Mold Inspection Page]

Indoor air quality testing helps identify lingering mold spores, allergens, and pollutants after a flood or mold issue. Even if visible mold has been removed, spores can remain airborne and circulate through your HVAC system. Our Toronto air quality testing services use spore traps and lab analysis to detect harmful particles that affect your health. Testing is recommended post-remediation, post-renovation, or if you experience persistent allergy symptoms. [Link to: Air Quality Testing Page]

Black mold removal requires specialized containment and cleaning protocols to prevent health risks and cross-contamination. In areas like bathrooms or attics where moisture is common, we first isolate the space with plastic barriers and use negative air machines with HEPA filtration. The mold is then carefully removed from surfaces or materials, and antimicrobial treatments are applied. For attics, we also address insulation and ventilation issues to prevent recurrence.

If your home was built before the 1990s, it’s important to test materials like ceiling tiles, drywall compound, insulation, floor tiles, and popcorn ceilings for asbestos before starting any renovations. Our certified asbestos testing team in Toronto safely collects samples and sends them to accredited labs for analysis. If asbestos is found, professional abatement is required to avoid exposure risks. [Link to: Asbestos Testing Page]

Thermal imaging allows us to identify temperature differences in building materials, which helps locate hidden moisture that often leads to mold growth. It’s a non-invasive way to detect potential mold behind walls, ceilings, or flooring—without causing any damage. Combined with moisture meters, this method improves the accuracy of inspections and ensures we find the true source of the problem. [Link to: Thermal Imaging Page]

After mold removal, it’s essential to thoroughly clean and disinfect the space to eliminate remaining spores, bacteria, or viruses. This is especially important in kitchens, bathrooms, healthcare facilities, or post-flood environments. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, ULV foggers, and HEPA vacuums to restore healthy indoor environments. Sanitization also complements air quality improvement efforts.

Yes, mold can grow in HVAC systems due to condensation and dust buildup. Mold in ducts spreads spores throughout your home, worsening indoor air quality. We offer safe mold remediation for HVAC systems, including duct cleaning, fogging with mold-killing agents, and HEPA filtration. This service is often paired with air quality testing to confirm a safe environment post-treatment. [Link to: Mold Removal or Air Quality Testing Page]
