Mould is very common in buildings and homes and is usually not a major health concern until elevated levels become present

Angel Restoration’s experienced inspectors will investigate the extent of the mould growth, determine a possible cause and provide recommendations for removal

We first perform an in-depth exterior inspection of the property to identify possible moisture intrusion sources such as roof, foundation, gutters or windows

We then do an interior visual inspection beginning in the lowest level and working up floor by floor, recording temperatures and humidity levels with the use of a Hygrometer then performing an air sample on each floor

Using a variety of moisture detecting equipment such as thermal imaging, we will take readings on exterior walls to locate moisture intrusion and record variances

Special attention is also paid to the attic or crawl space cavity underneath the roof system to determine if the area is over-insulated or if a bathroom vent is exhausted into this area

A new challenge for restoration companies has sprouted with the rise of indoor marijuana grow-ops, which have left homes and industrial buildings growing with toxic mould and structurally-marred

Gaps from hacked-out floorboards, dangling electrical wires and wall-to-wall mould are some of the damages restoration companies deal with after area home-grows are shut down

High humidity levels needed to grow marijuana cause mould to grow and depending on the size of the operation, mould can spread throughout an entire house

Angel Restoration contractors are fully-trained and qualified for mould abatement

Cleanups may involve a thorough, manual hand washing of all surfaces, disinfecting and removal of mould-stricken materials

Meth labs are especially dangerous to clean without specialized equipment and training as there are lethal chemicals whose vapours can permeate porous materials
