Mold Removal in Burnaby
Crews bag colonized joist fill under Heights and Edmonds bungalows and cut Capitol Hill and South Slope plates during mold removal in Burnaby.
Crews open the crawl under Heights and Edmonds bungalows and take the colonized fill off the joists. Insulation that has gone dark, debris on the soil, and any board that is soft leaves in sealed bags. Capitol Hill and South Slope houses more often lose the bottom of the wall, where the plate and the lower drywall grew a colony after water sat in the cavity. Metrotown is a party-wall job. A leak in the stack wets one side, so that board and the cavity fill come out under poly.
Sullivan crawls use the same bag path when the joists carry the colony. We hang containment poly, run negative air, and HEPA vacuum the bay once the soft material is gone. The cavity should be clean and dry before anyone closes it. After that the work is still the takeout. Bags go down the hatch or the stair. A fog left in a closed bay keeps the mold in the house.
Burnaby Heights joist bay bag-out through the crawl hatch
Poly goes up at the hatch before any fuzzy fill comes loose. Negative air pulls into the crawl so dust stays in the Heights bay. We cut the hanging batts free and bag them before they leave the joist. Sound faces on the wood get a HEPA vacuum.
Sullivan houses with the same open joists follow that bag-out. Surface growth on hard lumber gets cleaned under the vacuum. Soft wood that has lost its bite leaves in its own bag. Every bag goes through the hatch, so the kitchen floor stays clean.
Edmonds bungalow insulation bag-out before dust hits the hall
The Edmonds bungalow usually carries the colony in the crawl insulation and along the rim. We mark a cut where the fill turns clean and bag the dirty side. A HEPA pass on the rim happens before the hatch poly comes down. Bags leave by the side door.
South Slope basements that grew a colony on the lower wall use a wall bag-out. The cut sits on the drywall above the plate. Fuzzy paper leaves with the batts from that bay. Framing that is still hard gets vacuumed and brushed while negative air holds the dust.
Capitol Hill bottom plate bag-out along a level cut line
On Capitol Hill a soft plate at the foot of the wall leaves with the mold. We snap a level cut line above the colony. Negative air stays on while the board comes off. Each strip goes into a bag before it touches the floor.
A solid plate gets a HEPA vacuum and a detail of the faces. A crumbling length goes to the truck. Colonized board and wet batts leave the house the same day. Spraying the open cavity and closing it would leave the colony behind the new board.
Metrotown party wall bag-out after the stack wet the cavity
A Metrotown party wall after a stack leak is a contained cut inside one suite. Poly seals the work zone. Negative air keeps the corridor from taking the dust. We cut past the visible mold, bag the drywall and the cavity fill, and HEPA the studs that stay.
The suite floor is protected before the first bag moves. Soft baseboard on that wall leaves with the board. Clean hard finishes stay. Sealed bags use the service elevator or the taped stair, and they stay sealed until they are out of the poly.
