Why Mold Is Common in West Vancouver

  • Coastal rain and cool nights keep exterior walls and roofs damp
  • Hillside runoff directs moisture toward basements and crawlspaces
  • Complex rooflines and skylights create leak points if flashing ages
  • Dense trees reduce sunlight which slows drying and invites roof moss
  • Indoor humidity from showers and cooking without strong ventilation

Typical early signs include musty odour, dark staining on drywall or sheathing, bubbling paint, swollen trim, and condensation on windows. If you see these signs, book a free inspection.

Mold Removal and Cleaning

Our technicians remove visible growth and the spores you cannot see. We follow a clean, measurable approach that protects the rest of your home.

  • Set containment with zip walls and negative air for safe work zones
  • HEPA air filtration and HEPA vacuuming to capture fine particles
  • Careful removal of damaged drywall insulation and porous finishes
  • Clean structural surfaces and adjacent rooms to reduce cross spread
  • Dry to target levels before rebuild to prevent a return of mold

Attic Mold Remediation

Attic growth in West Vancouver often comes from bath fans that vent into the attic, inadequate roof ventilation, or ice free mornings that hide moisture. We fix the cause and restore clean sheathing.

  • Trace moisture sources such as disconnected ducts or air leaks from the home
  • Improve intake and exhaust ventilation for balanced airflow
  • Clean and treat roof sheathing and framing under containment
  • Seal air pathways at attic hatches and around light fixtures
  • Verify dryness and airflow before closing the job

FAQs

Small areas on hard non porous surfaces can be cleaned with care. Growth on drywall wood or insulation needs professional removal and drying.

How do you prevent mold from returning

We correct the moisture source, dry to target levels, and recommend ventilation and insulation upgrades that fit your home.
