Mold Removal in Burnaby

Physical removal of mold from drywall, framing, and contents, with containment, HEPA filtration, and proper disposal.

Mold removal is the physical work of getting mold out of a building. Affected drywall, insulation, and other porous materials come out. Framing and concrete that can be saved get cleaned under containment, with HEPA filtration running, and the debris leaves the house in bags. Burnaby Restoration Pros does mold removal for homes across Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.

What Actually Gets Removed

Porous materials that are colonized do not clean back to a sound surface. That is drywall paper, fibreglass batts, carpet, carpet pad, and particle-board cabinets that have been wet. Those come out. Wood studs, joists, and concrete can usually stay if the growth is on the surface and the wood is dried afterward. Painting over mold, or wiping it with bleach and closing the wall, leaves it in place.

How Removal Is Done So It Does Not Spread

We isolate the room with containment sheeting, put the work area under negative pressure, and run a HEPA air scrubber. Technicians work in respirators. Debris is bagged before it leaves the containment. A HEPA vacuum picks up dust from the framing after the demo. The goal is to remove the mold from the house, not relocate it into the hallway.

Removal Without Drying Does Not Hold

If the materials behind the mold are still wet, new growth starts on the clean wood within days. After the mold is out we dry the cavity with air movers and a dehumidifier, and we meter it before anyone hangs new drywall. If you only want the visible mold cut out and you still have a leak, say so on the call. We will tell you what will happen if the water stays.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mold Removal Burnaby

Can mold be removed without tearing out drywall?

Surface growth on hard materials can sometimes be cleaned. Growth on drywall paper means that drywall comes out. The paper is the food, and it cannot be scrubbed clean.

Is bleach a mold removal method?

Bleach on a porous surface drives moisture deeper and does not remove the roots in the material. Removal means the colonized material comes out, or a hard surface is cleaned and dried.
