Mould Remediation
Moulds grow throughout the natural and built environment. In nature, mould serves a purpose. Indoors, mould can grow and multiply causing health problems and property damage.
Mould growth can occur as a result of flooding, sewer backups, plumbing and roof leaks. Mould persists in poorly ventilated areas such as damp basements, bathrooms and kitchens. Not all mould looks the same – there are many different species in a variety of colours and textures. If left untreated, mould can be destructive to property and poses significant health risks to people. Allergy sufferers, small children and the elderly are most susceptible to the dangerous effects of mould contaminants.
Mould spores are a common occurrence in household and workplace dust. When mould spores are present in large quantities, they can present a serious health hazard causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems. Some moulds can also produce mycotoxins that can lead to neurological problems and in some cases, death.
Mould Removal and Remediation
Mould growth will occur when walls, wood, carpeting and other home building materials are exposed to water damage and aren’t dried immediately. Mould can spread very quickly. After 48-72 hours, untreated water damaged areas will develop heavy mold growth.
Trust WINMAR®’s IICRC Certified professional technicians who trained to recognize and remediate mould issues in a safe and contained manner. Our objective is to ensure the safety, health and protection of building occupants and our staff.
Technicians prepare and contain the affected areas, remove damaged materials and treat the structure with anti-microbial agents to eliminate mould growth at the source and to prevent spreading. To prevent future mould growth, moisture controls are put in place and the mould is physically removed from the structure.
WINMAR® offers immediate and professional mould removal services. Often mould is present in a building, yet not apparent. We can detect, test, identify, remove and treat mould growth anywhere in a residence or commercial property.

Highly trained professionals
Our WINMAR® professionals are highly trained in the processes of mold removal. To properly remove and remediate mould our technicians first seal off the contaminated area(s) to prevent the mould from spreading, then remove all heavily affected materials and clean the surrounding area with specialized anti-microbial chemicals and agents.
During this process, we also run specialized equipment to clean any mould spores in the air. This is an important step because often mould can be removed from surfaces but it remains in the air.
It is imperative that once you determine there is mould in your home or business, mould removal is completed by the professionals at WINMAR®. Improper mould removal can increase spores in your home or business, and expedite harmful growth.
