Residential Mold Remediation

Whether it is the result of moisture suddenly getting in from a roof malfunction or sewer backup, or a long-term problem the mold specialists at Canada Wide Group are highly-trained teams which chase the moisture to the very start of the mold problem.

One of the leading causes of sickness in North America has to do with environment and especially the home. And as the rate for medical prescriptions goes up more doctors are beginning to confess that concentrated mold spores in the air of the homes is responsible for many illnesses.

Mold is a resilient organism that can grow on almost anything organic with just a minute amount of water and oxygen. In fact mold can thrive on paper, carpet, wood, food and even the insulation in the walls. Like other members of the fungus family it reproduces by spores. These spores are almost everywhere, however they can be checked and prevented from taking hold by removing moisture and using an air filtration system.

Despite the fact that dozens of companies enter the mold remediation business on a weekly basis, removing mold requires different procedures for different areas of the home. For example, cleaning black mold from a ventilation system is a different process than getting the contamination out of a basement ceiling.

The danger here is that, if mold abatement is not performed correctly, mold and mildew will return. This is why at Canada Wide Group we provide water damage restoration completely: air duct cleaning, mold cleaning, mold treatment and final mold inspections before any wall is closed.

At Canada Wide Group we get rid of mold the right way:

1. Confinement: Barriers are erected and treatments used to prevent the spread of mold spores during cleanup. To accomplish this a negative pressure zone is created in the clean-up area using a vapor barrier and a HEPA-filter particle removing system. This is crucial because another part of the building may get contaminated, areas which before the work began were sealed off.
2. Infected Materials Removed: Carpet, drywall, wood, etc. are carefully disposed outside the home.
3. Cleaning: Framework, flooring, concrete, etc. scrubbed, disinfected and treated with a natural mold killer.
4. Post Remediation: Test completed to make sure all the mold is gone.
5. Reconstruction: Canada Wide Group uses its own construction expertise to rebuild the new mold-free area.

So when one of our certified staff claims the home is mold free it is a bullet-proof guarantee.
