Mold Restoration Services
Finding mould in your home is unsettling, and it is fair to feel that way. Mould does not just stain a wall or ruin drywall; it can affect the air your family breathes, and it tends to spread the moment someone brushes against it or tries to wipe it away without the right protective setup. That is why we treat every mould call as urgent. Our technicians are certified through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), and we have been handling restoration work throughout Abbotsford and the surrounding valley since 1969, so we know how to contain a problem before it becomes a bigger one.
When you notice signs of Mould damage, we recommend reaching out to our team first to contain the damage as early as possible. Then, get in touch with your insurance provider to discuss the details. We have a great relationship with insurance companies and will communicate directly with your provider as the work continues.
Signs You Have Mould In Your Home
Mould does not always announce itself with a visible patch on the ceiling. We ask homeowners to watch for a few common warning signs:
- A persistent musty or earthy smell, especially in a bathroom, basement, or crawl space
- Discoloured patches on drywall, baseboards, window frames, or fabric that were not there before
- Bubbling, peeling, or soft drywall, which usually means moisture is trapped behind the surface
- Recent water damage, a slow plumbing leak, or a roof issue that was never fully dried out
- Family members developing coughing, congestion, or skin irritation that improves when they leave the house
If any of that sounds familiar, do not wait for the problem to spread further before calling us.
Mould Remediation
Our remediation process follows the containment and cleaning protocols set out in the IICRC S520 standard for professional mould work. We isolate the affected area with poly containment and negative air pressure, so spores are not carried into the rest of your home, then remove and clean contaminated materials using organic anti-microbial treatments, HEPA-filter vacuums, and commercial air scrubbers. Nothing is finalized until the space has been brought back to a condition our team is willing to sign off on, not just wiped down and left to dry on its own.
How We Test for Mould
Before we start any remediation work, we assess the property using moisture detection equipment and thermal imaging, which lets us find damp pockets inside walls, floors, and ceilings that are not visible to the eye. That assessment tells us how far the moisture has travelled and which materials need to come out versus which ones can be treated and kept. We also document everything we find, including photos and moisture readings, because that documentation is what your insurance adjuster will ask for if you are filing a claim. Where a claim is involved, we communicate directly with your adjuster so you are not stuck relaying technical details back and forth yourself.
Mould Repair Services
Once the mould itself has been removed, our team investigates what caused it in the first place, because remediation without addressing the source just invites the same problem back next season. If wood stud walls, subfloor, or attic framing were affected, we assess the structural integrity of those areas before any rebuild begins. From there, our drywall crews handle the installation, taping, mudding, and finishing needed to bring the space back to a finished, paint-ready condition, and where the project touches permitted work, we coordinate directly with the municipal building department so nothing holds up your repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if you have mould in your home?
Stay aware of musty smells, discoloured patches on walls or fabric, soft or bubbling drywall, and any area that stayed damp after a leak or spill. If you or your family notice coughing or skin irritation that eases when you are away from the house, that is another sign worth having us check.
Is mould dangerous to my health?
It can be. Indoor mould exposure is linked to respiratory irritation, asthma flare-ups, and other health effects, and infants, seniors, and anyone with an existing respiratory condition are at greater risk. We recommend having any noticeable growth assessed and removed by a certified technician rather than treating it yourself.
How long does mould remediation take?
It depends on how far the mould has spread and whether structural materials need to be replaced. A contained bathroom or window area can often be resolved in a few days, while a job involving wall cavities or crawl space framing takes longer once you factor in drying time before we rebuild.
Will my insurance cover mould restoration?
That depends on your policy and what caused the mould. We document the damage with photos and moisture readings and communicate directly with your adjuster so you have the information needed to find out what your coverage allows.
Can I clean up mould myself before you arrive?
It is best to leave this to a professional. Disturbing mould without containment can spread spores to unaffected areas of your home. Seal off the area, keep people and pets away, and call us so our certified technicians can assess it properly first.
Do you work on rural and agricultural properties?
Yes. We regularly handle mould restoration on rural and agricultural properties across Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, and Mission, where outbuildings and crawl spaces often hold moisture longer than a standard home.
What happens after the mould is removed?
We assess the structural safety of the affected area, repair or replace any compromised framing or subfloor, and our drywall team finishes the space so it looks and feels the way it did before the damage, backed by our workmanship warranty.
