Mold Remediation in Burnaby

Mold Remediation in Burnaby

Find the moisture, contain the area, remove affected materials, and dry the structure so mold does not come back.

Mold remediation is the full job, not a spray. We find the water that is feeding it, contain the work area, remove what cannot be cleaned, dry the structure, and leave it so the mold has nothing to grow on. Burnaby Restoration Pros does this work in homes and small buildings across Burnaby, where wet winters and closed-up summers keep moisture in basements, crawl spaces, and wall cavities.

Remediation Starts With the Moisture

Killing what you can see and leaving the wall wet just grows a new colony. We meter the materials and, where we need to, use thermal imaging to see if the water is still in the cavity. A slow leak, a damp slab, or a bathroom that never dries will bring the mold back no matter how well the surface was wiped. The moisture source gets fixed or isolated before we close anything up.

How a Remediation Is Set Up

The work area is sealed with plastic containment so spores do not drift through the house. A negative air machine and a HEPA air scrubber run while materials come out. Wet drywall, insulation, and carpet pad that are colonized come out and get bagged. Framing that can be cleaned is cleaned and then dried to a measured moisture level. We do not fog a room and call it done.

Where We See It in Burnaby Homes

The usual spots are the bottom of basement walls after a flood, the back of a bathroom vanity, a cold closet on an outside wall, and a crawl space with no vapour barrier. The smell often shows up before the stain does, and it gets stronger when the weather turns warm. If you can smell it and cannot find it, the colony is probably in a cavity. That is a remediation, not a wipe-down.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mold Remediation Burnaby

What is the difference between mold remediation and mold removal?

+
Removal is taking the mold and the ruined materials out. Remediation includes that work plus finding the moisture, drying the structure, and setting the area up so it does not grow back.

Can I stay in the house during mold remediation?

+
Often yes, if the work is contained to one area. We will tell you if a room, or the whole home, should be empty while containment and negative air are running.

Do you test the air after mold remediation?

+
We verify the materials are dry and the visible growth is gone. If you or your insurer want third-party air sampling, we can leave the area ready for that test.
