Mold Removal in Whitby

Looking for mold removal in Whitby after a leak or in a damp basement? Lakeridge Restoration is a water damage team first, so every mold job includes finding and fixing the moisture that caused it.

Do you need a professional?

Not always. Mildew on a bathroom ceiling is a cleaning job. Call us when the mold covers a large area, keeps coming back after cleaning, is inside walls, under flooring or in insulation, or showed up after a leak or a flood.

For health questions, talk to your doctor.

How we remove mold

1. Find the mold and the water feeding it.
2. Seal the area with plastic sheeting and filtered air so spores do not travel through the house.
3. Remove mold-affected drywall and insulation. Cleaning the surface does not reach mold inside them.
4. HEPA vacuum and clean the remaining surfaces.
5. Dry the area and fix the moisture source, or tell you who has to, such as a plumber or roofer.

Mold questions

Will it come back?

If the moisture comes back, yes. That is why the source gets fixed on every job.

Is mold removal covered by insurance?

Sometimes, when the mold came from a sudden water event your policy covers. Mold from long-term dampness usually is not. Check your policy.

Do we need to leave the house during removal?

Usually not. The work area is sealed off from the rest of the house.
