Marijuana Grow Operations: Mold (Mould) Removal and Remediation
Marijuana grow-ops usually result in large and costly structural problems in houses. A particularly common consequence of marijuana grow operations is toxic mold (mould). Mold problems can be so severe that the damage cannot be hidden by a simple paint job.
After marijuana grow-ops, homes are often left with holes in the walls where vents were previously used to eliminate moisture. Rewiring used to steal electricity and run the grow-op also causes damage to the concrete foundation of the home. You can often find floorboards that have been hacked out, electrical wires that are dangling from ceilings, and walls that are completely covered with mold.
Mold Busters, a mold remediation company based in Ottawa, has been serving Ontario and Quebec for years. We specialize in remediating and disinfecting buildings that have been damaged by marijuana grow operations. Our technicians are experienced and qualified for mold abatement according to guidelines set by the Canadian Construction Association.
Mold is caused by the high humidity levels used to grow marijuana. Depending on the size of the operation, mold can spread throughout the entire house. Clean-ups and disinfection require thorough manual washing, disinfection, and removal of mold-contaminated materials from ALL of the affected areas. Mold Busters also uses High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to remove particulates from the air before releasing the air back into the atmosphere.
Because restoring a house after a marijuana grow-op is a huge, multi-step process, repairs can be costly and time-consuming. For a typical basement grow-op, the clean-up could take about a week and cost anywhere from a couple thousand dollars to more than $30,000 if restoration of structural damage is needed.
