Regardless of the age of your home, moisture and humidity can infiltrate into your walls, basement, or attic and cause a myriad of problems - like mold growth. While it’s many homeowner’s worst nightmare to discover mold in their homes, booking a mold removal in Oakville is a pain-free process with InchbyInch Inspections.
Because the mold growth can affect not only the structure of your home but the health and safety of you and your family, InchbyInch recommends a professional mold removal in Oakville any time that mold is found in the home. Mold prefers to grow in damp, humid environments that have reduced or little natural air flow or ventilation. This makes the attic and basement, as well as behind appliances and underneath cupboards prime locations for mold to grow. These places often make it difficult to spot and impossible for the average homeowner to safely and thoroughly remove on their own.
At InchbyInch, our technicians are highly trained specialists with hours of on the job and in the classroom experience. They’re certified by third-party organizations such as the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) which gives our teams access the the best in contemporary research and best practices when it comes to mold removal in Oakville. This ensures that our remediations are safe, thorough, and that mold, wherever it’s found in your home, is removed for good.

Water events, such as a leak or a flood, can quickly add a lot of moisture to the home and can be difficult to predict and dry out. Mold can begin to form within 48 hours of exposure to water, so it’s important to thoroughly dry out your home in the event of a leak or flood.
Water is truly the magic ingredient for mold growth, which is why InchbyInch pays close attention when a homeowner mentions a leak. The key to reducing mold growth is prevention, and whether that’s increasing ventilation, replacing leaky washers on pipes and taps, or assessing your attic for holes and cracks, helping homeowners to sort out the root cause of water infiltration in their homes is a task InchbyInch takes great pride in.
While the attic, basement, laundry room, and bathroom are four locations we often find mold growth in, InchbyInch Inspections teams also pay close attention to:

At InchbyInch Inspections, our first step on site is to perform a thorough interior and exterior mold inspection. Many other companies skip the outdoor step, but for our teams, what’s going on outside of your home gives us crucial information about what’s going on inside. Your landscaping, grading, and other geological features can all affect how and where water travels around your home, and can tell us a lot about mold problems on the interior.
After an exterior inspection, the inside of your home can be closely assessed for both visible and hidden mold colonies. Temperature and humidity readings can help us further identify which areas of the home are in danger of mold growth, and can help us create a thorough plan to help remove and prevent future mold issues.
