Mold Remediation Services in Vancouver

Vancouver’s wet, winter season ushers in more than just snow sports and cozy nights indoors. Frigid temperatures increase the risk of freezing pipes bursting and causing property floods. Heavy rainfall can result in flooded basements. And no matter the cause, any water damage in your property can lead to a mold infestation, as mold can start growing 24-48hrs after materials come in contact with water.

Where Can Mold be Found?

Naturally, mold thrives in humid places such as around leaks in roofs, windows, pipes, as well as in bathrooms, basements, attics and crawlspaces, and wherever there has been flooding. Mold grows well on a variety of materials, like paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. It can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric and upholstery.

Effects of Mold Exposure

Exposure to certain molds can cause human illness that ranges from itching eyes, sneezing and coughing to serious allergic reactions, asthma attacks and even permanent lung damage. If you can see or smell mold, a health risk may be present. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), no matter what type of mold is present, the best practice is to remove it and prevent its future growth by correcting any moisture source. Since the effect of mold on people can vary greatly, either because of the amount or type of mold, you cannot rely on sampling and culturing to know your health risk. Learn more.
