Professional Mold Removal

In Ottawa & Surrounding Areas

Mold is a persistent issue in Ottawa’s climate — thriving in damp basements, attics, and bathrooms where humidity fluctuates after heavy rain or snowmelt.

At Ottawa Mold Removal, we provide certified mold inspection, testing, and remediation services to eliminate mold at its source and prevent it from returning. Whether you live in Ottawa, Kanata, or Orleans, our goal is simple: keep your home safe, healthy, and mold-free.

Why Mold Removal Is Essential

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in warm, humid environments. It reproduces by releasing microscopic spores into the air, which can cause allergic reactions and respiratory irritation in both humans and pets.

Common mold species found in Ottawa homes include:

  • Stachybotrys (black mold)
  • Aspergillus
  • Penicillium
  • Cladosporium

These molds are often found in basements, bathrooms, kitchens, attics, and even behind drywall or under flooring.

Health Risks

Mold exposure can lead to coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, headaches, and, in severe cases, chronic respiratory conditions.

Children, seniors, and individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable.

Structural Damage

Mold doesn’t just harm your air quality — it eats through drywall, wood, and insulation, leading to expensive repairs and structural decay.

Persistent Odours

A musty smell is a classic indicator of hidden mold. Professional remediation removes both the mold and the unpleasant odour it produces.

The Mold Removal Process

Each area requires a tailored solution to eliminate mold and restore indoor air quality.

Common Mold Problems in Ottawa and surround areas:

  • Attic Mold – caused by roof leaks and poor ventilation
  • Basement Mold – triggered by flooding or foundation cracks
  • Bathroom Mold – from persistent steam and poor airflow
  • Kitchen & Laundry Room Mold – due to leaks under sinks or appliances

STEP 1

Identify the Source of Moisture

Mold growth always starts with moisture.

Common causes in Ottawa homes include:

  • Basement leaks from rainfall or snowmelt
  • Plumbing leaks behind walls
  • Poor attic ventilation or bathroom humidity

STEP 2

Assess the Extent of Contamination

If the affected area exceeds 10 square feet, or mold appears inside HVAC systems or structural cavities, professional intervention is required.

STEP 3

Containment & Removal

We use HEPA-filtered negative air machines to isolate affected zones and prevent spores from spreading. All contaminated materials are removed, and non-porous surfaces are disinfected using eco-friendly antimicrobial solutions.

STEP 4

Drying & Dehumidification

We deploy commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate residual moisture. In Ottawa’s humid months, maintaining indoor humidity below 60% is key to long-term prevention.

STEP 5

Verification & Prevention

We conduct post-remediation clearance testing to ensure your property is safe, then provide recommendations for long-term moisture control and ventilation improvements.
