Should I Hire a Professional for Mold Removal?

If you need an attic mold removal, it’s best to consider hiring a professional for the job. While hardware stores have a range of products, tools, and solutions for removing mold at home yourself, some of these products have a short-term impact making the long-term effects of a DIY mold removal not great. Indoor mold growth poses a serious health and safety risk that a DIY remediation can potentially make worse, which is why we always recommend professional mold remediation in Toronto. 

What is Mold Removal?

Mold removal - also known as mold remediation - is the safe process in which mold is removed from objects or areas that it is growing on. This process can involve organic and inorganic cleaning agents and manual removal processes like scraping. 

Mold removal is more than just getting rid of mold growth! A good mold removal should also focus on finding the cause of the infestation and eliminating it so that mold growth doesn’t happen again. A great mold remediation is only possible using a professional’s experience, tools, and expertise to make sure you and your family stay safe during and after the removal process. 

Don’t DIY Mold Removal

Mold spreads by creating small spores that are easily stirred up into the air. Household and attic mold removal should always be done by a professional to prevent these spores from travelling in the air, on your clothes, or on remediation tools to other areas of your home. Not only is it very easy to accidentally spread mold, but the chemicals available at hardware stores aren’t strong enough to do the job, and often only kill surface mold and leave damage or discolouration to the remediated areas.
