Because mold thrives in a high moisture environment, it can grow and proliferate in any home, new or old. In fact, once established, mold can spread quite quickly.

Worse still, mold spores are easily carried through the air. When mold is suspected, professional mold removal is the answer. At Four Seasons Insulation, we offer free mold inspections in Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan and surrounding areas.

Common Reasons For Mold Inspection & Mold Removal/Remediation

Mold Inspection, Mold Testing, and Mold Removal with Four Seasons

Whether it’s a residential space or a commercial space, Four Seasons provides a systematic approach to mold remediation. From inspection to testing, to removal, our highly trained team of specialists ensures complete safety for occupants, while providing professional mold removal.

Once we inspect and test for mold, we isolate the contaminated area and begin the mold removal process. We use industrial-grade filtration equipment and pressurization methods that contain any dangerous mold. The key is to ensure the complete removal, as well as a clean, disinfected space.

Regardless of project size, Four Seasons follows industry standards and established protocols for mold remediation. We don’t take shortcuts and make every effort to safely dispose of contaminated materials. Before any restoration work takes place, we make certain that the space is mould-free.

When it comes to mold testing, Four Seasons provides an objective, third party analysis, and an air quality assessment that is completely impartial. This is critical for homeowners and business owners, so that proposed remediation work will address the specific mold issues of the space.

Do Mold Spores Spread and How Do You Kill Them?

Mold naturally reproduces by releasing spores into the air. As spores move through the air, they create new mold outbreaks where the right conditions allow. Spores do not die – and when they are not removed effectively, they can easily propagate and recolonize (in damp conditions).

Without question, mold removal and disinfection requires expertise – this is not a good time for a DIY project. After removal, its important to eliminate the moisture source that allowed the mold to develop in the first place. Anything short of getting to the source will allow mold to grow again.

How Much Does Mold Removal Cost?

The cost of mold removal will depend on the extent of mold damage and the scope of repairs required. At Four Seasons Insulation, we inspect the contaminated space, we recommend an approach for remediation, and we provide the homeowner with an accurate price quote.

As professionals, we don’t recommend a DIY approach with the removal of mold – it can be dangerous, it can pose health issues, and it can create more problems down the line. We will provide safe and effective removal and a clean start for the restoration of the damaged space.
