Mold Removal in Ottawa

If you live in Ottawa and you have find or suspect mold in your house it is recommended you test your home for mold first before paying for mold removal. Mold testing reveals the cause of mold growth, the type of mold present and also the level of contamination. Indoor mold grows in moist areas like the bathroom and basement. If you don’t know how to clean mold yourself you may need to hire a qualified mold removal company. Mold removal in Ottawa is performed by small to medium sized mold restoration companies. The cost of mold removal services depends on the level of contamination and the size of the home.

Residential Mold testing in Ottawa

You can pay a professional mold inspector to test the mold for you. However, in most cases you can test the mold yourself thus saving money. While there are many mold kits available at hardware stores, home supply warehouses and online we DO NOT recommend any kit that is said to give instant results. You should use the same equipment and the same labs that professional mold inspectors use. If you want to test for visible mold growth we recommend using clear scotch tape which you can easily obtain from a dollar store. If you would like to test for air quality in your home, then we would recommend the mold test kit used by mold professionals.

When Can You Perform Mold Removal Yourself?

If the total area covered by mold growth in your home is less than 10 square feet, then, with proper protection you can remove mold with ordinary household cleaning products. Disturbing big infestations can be bad for your health, particularly if you are an allergy sufferer or have a weakened immune system. If you have than 10 square feet, consider hiring a mold removal company. If you don’t know any mold removal company in Ottawa, use Google or other search engines to search for “mold removal in Ottawa” to find local companies that provide mold removal services. It’s important you get quotes from several companies and the quote should include the procedure they use to remove mold and references from their past happy clients.

Mold Growth Prevention

Moisture is the major course of mold growth. After mold removal you can prevent regrowth of mold by keeping the area dry. Make sure any leaks that contributed to moisture are properly sealed. If mold growth was due to high humidity, you may consider installing a dehumidifier in rooms that have poor ventilation. Whenever showering or cooking ensure the fans are on to reduce accumulation of moisture indoors. In the shower or bath, take a moment to dry the tub or shower after each use to reduce moisture in the air. Regularly cleaning your home will also keep mold from regrowing.
