Mold Removal & Inspection in Kingston

Yes. The virtual inspection is free with no obligation. You book a time, an IICRC-certified inspector joins you on a video call, and you walk them through the affected areas with your phone. You get a clear read on what you are dealing with and what your options are before anyone visits in person. Book online or call 613-777-3637.

Kingston sits where Lake Ontario meets the Cataraqui River, the St. Lawrence, and the Rideau Canal, so ambient humidity stays high through the muggy mid-June to mid-September stretch. Add a large stock of older limestone and pre-1980 homes on porous stone foundations, and you have the steady moisture that mold needs to take hold in basements and crawlspaces.

Often, yes. Kingston’s signature limestone and rubble-stone foundations predate modern damp-proofing and vapour barriers, so they tend to wick groundwater and condense interior humidity against cold stone walls. Heritage rules can also limit how aggressively you alter the envelope. A free inspection helps you understand the moisture path before you commit to any work.

Yes, and act fast. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of a burst pipe or basement seepage under typical Kingston humidity. If the wet materials are not fully dried within that window, mold becomes likely. The quickest way to get ahead of it is a free inspection, where we tell you whether you need water-damage drying, testing, or remediation.

Yes. Beyond mold, we offer indoor air quality testing and we sample for asbestos, which older Kingston homes can contain in vermiculite attic insulation, pipe wrap, tiles, and plaster. Samples go to a government-accredited lab and you get a written result. Handling mold, air quality, and asbestos together means one company on the job, not three.

Yes. Our inspectors are IICRC-trained, including the S520 mold remediation reference standard that insurers cite. Mold Busters has operated since 2005 with 20+ years of experience, an A+ BBB rating, and full liability coverage. You get a documented, standards-based assessment, not a sales pitch.

It depends on the size of the affected area, the type of mold, and whether it is on the surface or behind walls. No two Kingston homes are the same, so we do not publish a flat rate. See our Mold Removal Cost Guide for the variables. A free inspection is the fastest way to understand your specific situation, and financing is available on larger jobs.

Inspection is a visual assessment plus moisture mapping that identifies mold-risk zones and where water is getting in. Testing is the next step when needed: collecting air and surface samples and sending them to an accredited lab to identify species and spore counts. A free inspection helps you understand which one you actually need.

Under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act, your landlord must keep the unit in a good state of repair, which covers dampness and mold. Notify your landlord in writing first. If they do not act, you can file a Tenant Application about Maintenance (Form T6) with the Landlord and Tenant Board, and the City of Kingston’s property standards bylaw provides a parallel route. This is general information, not legal advice.

We serve Kingston and the surrounding region, including Amherstview, Bath, Sydenham, Napanee, Odessa, Gananoque, Perth, Smiths Falls, and Westport, with dedicated Mold Busters pages for nearby Brockville, Belleville, and Cornwall. Book a free inspection online or call 613-777-3637.
