Mold Removal in New Westminster

Crews take Queens Park and Sapperton plaster off the lath side and bag colonized sill plates during mold removal in New Westminster.

Queens Park, Sapperton, Glenbrooke, Uptown, and the rest of New Westminster

Queens Park plaster comes off in sheets once the colony is on the wood lath behind it. Sapperton houses get the same contained drop. We score the cut, bag the sheets, and protect the fir floor before anything falls. Glenbrooke sill plates leave when they are soft. The West End loses basement board that sat after a dirty drain. Uptown suite walls lose the wet side of a party wall, with the corridor taped for the bag-out.

The lath that remains should be clean and dry before new plaster goes on. That is one checkpoint, and then we are back to what leaves the house. Sealed bags, a HEPA pass on the wood, and poly that stays up until the last load is out the door. West End bags and Uptown bags leave on a taped path, sealed, so the corridor stays a corridor. The fir stays covered until the last bag is out. A fog will not lift colonized plaster out of a Queens Park room.

Queens Park plaster bag-out with sheets sealed at the cut

Queens Park sheets that carry mold on the lath side come down inside a poly room. We score the cut, take the sheet in manageable pieces, and bag them before grit hits the fir. Negative air runs the whole time. Sound plaster outside the line stays on the wall.

Lath that is still firm gets a HEPA vacuum. Lath that breaks apart leaves with the plaster. The floor protection stays down until the canister pass is done. What leaves the house is those bags, carried out the taped door, not a scrape pile on original fir.

Sapperton lath side bag-out inside a contained front room

Sapperton rooms get the same lath-side bag-out when the colony is behind the plaster. Poly goes up first. The cut line is in plaster that is still bonded. Colonized sheets go into bags at the wall, and the bags stay sealed on the way to the truck.

Negative air keeps the hall out of the dust. Sill plates in that room leave if they are soft, and they leave in the same load. Hard plates get a HEPA vacuum along the top and the face. The bag-out is the colonized assembly, not a coat of paint.

Uptown suite wall bag-out down a taped apartment corridor

Uptown suite walls after a stack leak are a contained cut with a taped corridor. Poly seals the suite zone. Negative air holds dust off the shared hall. We cut past the visible mold, bag the board and the cavity fill, and HEPA the studs that stay.

Bags leave by the path we taped, sealed before they exit the poly. Soft baseboard on that wall goes with them. The neighbour's door line should not wear a film of dust. This bag-out is one suite's wall, carried out, not an open fan in a hallway of apartments.

Glenbrooke sill plate bag-out at the base of the wall

Glenbrooke sill plates that are soft or heavily colonized come out with the lower wall. We set a cut line, bag the board, and bag the plate lengths that crumble. Negative air stays on the room. The fir or the stair protection stays down until the bags are out.

The West End basement version is modern board instead of plaster, and the bag-out is the same idea. Fuzzy paper leaves. Hard framing gets a HEPA vacuum. A spray along the sill and a new skirt board would lock the colony in place.

Questions about mold removal in New Westminster

Does Queens Park plaster get scraped and painted?

+
Colonized plaster comes off under poly and goes out in bags. The lath side is where the growth sits, so a scrape of the paint face leaves it in the wall. Sound plaster past the cut stays. Firm lath gets a HEPA vacuum. The fir floor stays covered until the dust is in the canister and the bags are outside.

What leaves a Sapperton or Glenbrooke lower wall?

+
The colonized sheet or board, the sill plate if it is failing, and the debris that comes down with the cut. Negative air and poly hold the room. Hard wood that stays gets a HEPA vacuum. We mark the line in sound material before the first piece comes off, so the bag-out matches the colony and not the whole room.

How do Uptown bags stay out of the corridor?

+
The suite is the contained zone. Bags are sealed inside it, then they move on a taped path to the exit. Negative air keeps dust from drifting when the plastic is open for a load. Studs that remain get a HEPA pass before we drop the poly. The corridor is a route, not a work area.
