Mold Inspections and Removal in Ottawa

Ottawa, Ontario

As Canada's capital, Ottawa is home to not the Canadian parliament, the Byward market, and countless other attractions that make it a beautiful place to live in and visit. Located in southeastern Ontario on the southern banks of the Ottawa River, the city of Ottawa has a population of just over 880,000, who speak English, French or both.

I have black spots on the walls of my Ottawa home. I think it’s mold, but I’m not sure. What should I do?

If you suspect a mold problem, the best thing you can do is to contact a professional and get it checked it out. Not all black spots on walls are mold.

A certified mold inspector will be able to come in and take an air quality test or surface sample, look for other signs of mold contamination, and identify the cause of the problem (usually some form of moisture intrusion). You might have a leaky pipe behind your wall, cracked foundation that’s allowing water to enter your home, or you might simply have a spider infestation.

Remember, if it is mold, the longer you wait, the worse the problem will get. A professional mold inspection will give you the answers you need to address the mold problem quickly and effectively.

Choosing a Mold Inspection Company in Ottawa

As most Ottawa residents know, the best way to size up winter in Canada’s capital is with three words: snow and extreme cold.

Unfortunately for Ottawa residents, extremely low temperatures can cause pipes to burst and heavy snowfall can result in major leaks and flooding in spring. Both of these factors increase your home’s risk of developing mold problems.

If you suspect a leak or a moisture problem in your home that could be fueling mold growth, contact a certified mold inspection company for a professional and thorough mold assessment.

A professional mold inspector will conduct a thorough visual diagnostic assessment and may even conduct testing for mold such as a mold swab test or an air quality test. The inspector should take the time to check behind walls and other hard-to-reach spaces.

Because there are a number of companies in the Ottawa area that offer mold inspection services, it’s important to know what questions to ask in order to find the best one for your needs.

We had suspicions that we might have a mold problem starting to develop in our basement. Charles from Mold Busters alleviated our concerns by doing a visual inspection and using tools that checked for moisture behind panelling. He explained everything he saw and did (testing) with clarity, providing very useful information. He gave same day service, was very knowledgeable, and thoroughly answered all of our questions. I would definitely use this company again, and recommend it to others who may suspect mold. Our suspicions were unfounded, thankfully.

Excellent experience with Mold Busters. Called them to give me a quote for some mold removal after my sump pump failed. Was surprised they don't give free estimates at first. But now I know why!Charlie was the inspector and when he was down in the basement, he found some materials which were likely asbestos. We agreed to test them and sure enough, the lab revealed they were positive for asbestos! ALL OF THE OTHER COMPANIES OVERLOOKED THIS, and EVEN QUOTED ME TO REMOVE THESE TILES WITHOUT ANY PROPER ASBESTOS REMOVAL PROCEDURES in place. Ugh. What a joke.Naturally, we went with Mold Busters to do the work since they were the most thorough during the inspection. The crew came out in less than a week. Nice group of guys. They did a pretty good job! Would definitely recommend Mold Busters. They ACTUALLY KNOW what they're doing.

I like to bring in multiple companies for quotes on projects to make sure I’m getting the best value. Mold Busters was the second Mold Company I got in for a quote. Unlike the other company Mold Busters was on time and extremely detailed!They provided a thorough search of the area and even looked at other potential areas for the source of Mold. They gave me before and after pictures of their work. Speaking with the staff in the office was great too, friendly, helpful and quick at responding. I really liked the online booking, reviewing my invoice and making payment. I would highly recommend using Mold Busters if you are worried about a Mold issue.

Best customer service I've received in a long time, especially from a contractor type of company. Easy to book, appointment reminding emails, phone updates by the inspector on his way...everything was topnotch. I got Charlie as the inspector, who's also one of the managers. So much knowledge packed into his brain about this stuff. Ask for him if possible. Super impressed by it all. Will use again if needed (hope not). Oh yeah, got my report with pictures in like, 2 hours after he left. Unreal service.A+
