Certified Mould Inspection & Remediation
Assessment, documentation, containment, remediation and post-work verification, carried out by certified inspectors across Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie and Timmins.
Someone reports a musty odour in a back corridor. Maintenance pulls a ceiling tile and finds staining. A tenant sends a photo of a wall behind a filing cabinet. Nobody knows yet whether it is a small area of surface growth or the visible corner of something inside the wall cavity, and everybody in the building is now waiting on an answer.
That is the moment this page is for.
The core difficulty is that mould is a moisture problem you can only partly see. What shows on the surface tells you very little about how far it extends behind drywall, above the ceiling grid, under flooring or inside insulation. A visual glance gives you a guess, and a guess is not something you can put in front of a building owner, a tenant, an insurer or a regulator.
Older Northern Ontario building stock makes it harder. Freeze and thaw cycles, long heating seasons, envelope and roof leaks that appear in one place and originate in another, and mechanical rooms with unmanaged humidity all move moisture into places nobody is inspecting.
The other half of the problem is documentation. Facility managers rarely get in trouble for finding mould. They get in trouble for having no record of what was found, what was done about it, and what the condition was when the work was finished.
Cutting into affected material without containment moves the problem into adjacent areas and into the air handling system. A contained repair in one room turns into a multi room project across two floors.
Areas get closed while the question is unresolved. Staff get relocated. Tenants ask for rent relief, and a tenant who feels a mould report was handled casually is a tenant who takes it to the lease.
When the moisture was identified, what assessment was performed, what containment was used, who did the work, and what verification followed. A file with photographs, findings and written scope is a different conversation than an invoice that says cleaned mould.
Remediation that never identifies what is wetting the material buys you a fresh occurrence on the same wall, in the same location, at the same cost, next year.
We separate assessment from remediation, and we do the assessment first. Our certified inspectors document conditions before any material is disturbed, because the assessment is what determines the scope, the containment strategy and the price. Nobody should be quoting a mould job from a doorway.
We work to contained scope. Affected areas are isolated so removal work stays inside the work zone and does not migrate into occupied space or into building air handling.
We document as we go, and we hand the documentation to you. Findings, extent, method, materials removed, and post-remediation verification. That record is the part of the job that protects you six months from now.
We look for the water. Mould is a symptom of moisture, and we identify the moisture condition feeding the growth so you know what has to be corrected on the building side. We will tell you plainly when the fix belongs to a roofer, a plumber or a mechanical contractor rather than to us.
We also stay inside our lane. We assess, document, contain, remediate and verify. We do not make health or medical claims about what has been found, and you should be cautious of anyone who does.
We take the reported symptom, the location, the building age and construction, any known leak or water event, and any prior remediation on the same area.
Our inspectors examine the affected area and the surrounding assemblies, identify visible growth, and assess how far the affected material is likely to extend beyond what is visible.
We locate the moisture condition supporting the growth and document where it is coming from, so the corrective work can be assigned to the right trade.
You receive documented findings with photographs, the extent of affected material, the proposed remediation scope, and the containment plan. This is the document you take to ownership, to your insurer, or to your board.
Before removal begins, the work area is isolated and controlled so material and airborne debris stay inside the work zone and out of occupied space.
Affected materials are removed and handled inside containment. Salvageable surfaces are cleaned and treated. The area is prepared for reconstruction where reconstruction is required.
We verify the completed work against the documented scope and confirm the area is ready to be returned to service.
You receive the final documentation package covering what was found, what was done, and what the verified condition was at completion.
A documented assessment. A defined scope with photographs. A containment and remediation record. Verification of the completed work. And a plain statement of the moisture condition that has to be corrected to keep the problem from returning.
That package is what a facility manager needs when the question comes back a year later and everyone has forgotten the details.
If someone in your building has reported an odour, a stain, or visible growth, the useful first step is an inspection that produces a document, not a demolition that produces a surprise.
