A concern when planning mold removal in Toronto should always be cross-contamination. A small part of why mold infestations spread beyond airborne spores is the physical spread of mold-contaminated materials through do-it-yourself remediation attempts or just general cleaning. If mold is not effectively eliminated or if you are unaware that there is a mold infestation in your home, for example, if you need attic mold removal, you can accidentally facilitate the spread. IICRC-trained and certified remediation experts understand how to navigate cleanup and removal without further compromising your property. With years of experience and expertise, trust the certified professionals at Inch By Inch Inspections for effective restoration from basement to attic mold removal, as well as air quality testing in Toronto and more.
Here are some of the ways professionals complete mold removal in Toronto while preventing cross-contamination.
Air Sampling & Testing
The first step to limiting the spread of mold spores is understanding where the mold is and what areas are being affected by elevated spore levels. Professional air quality testing in Toronto, our team measures airborne mold levels in different zones of your home to identify the extent of the problem. These readings are used by our experts to inform a plan that includes safe containment, proper PPE, and targeted cleanup efforts.
Containing the Area
Professionals create containment zones using plastic sheeting and seal off the affected area with zipper doors and tape to stop spores from drifting into unaffected spaces. This step is crucial in attic mold removal, where ventilation and airflow can unknowingly allow mold to travel through ductwork or open rafters. Containment is maintained throughout the duration of the project.
Negative Air Machines
To further control the environment and limit airborne spread, professionals use HEPA-filtered negative air machines. These devices pull contaminated air from the remediation area and filter it before exhausting it outside the property. This creates a pressure difference between rooms that keeps spores from traveling from the work zone into clean parts of your home.
Manage Access
The fewer people entering and exiting the contaminated space, the better. Mold removal teams manage foot traffic and keep access to a minimum. Crew members also wear disposable protective suits and change them before leaving the area. This limits the chance of spores clinging to clothing or equipment and being tracked into clean zones.
Post-Remediation Air Quality Clearance Testing
Once the cleanup is complete, final air quality testing in Toronto is conducted to confirm that the area has been fully remediated. At Inch By Inch Inspections, we use third-party testing to verify results whenever needed. This ensures accountability and gives property owners confidence that the mold issue has been resolved without lingering spores or hidden contamination.
