🛠️ Black Mould Cleanup Experts You Can Trust

Black mould thrives in Calgary’s high-moisture environments—often hiding behind basement drywall, under carpets, or inside HVAC systems after a leak. Our certified team is trained to locate it, remove it according to Alberta safety standards, and ensure it never returns.

• Certified Testing & Inspection: We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find hidden moisture pockets and offer lab-certified air sampling to confirm spore counts.
• Secure Containment Systems: We establish sealed work zones using 6-mil poly barriers and negative air pressure to ensure spores do not migrate to clean areas.
• Specialized Disinfection: We use EPA-registered, hospital-grade antimicrobials to neutralize mould on semi-porous and non-porous surfaces.
• Material Remediation: Saturated drywall, insulation, and carpets are safely removed, bagged, and disposed of following hazardous waste protocols.
• Industrial Dehumidification: Our high-powered drying systems eliminate the deep-seated moisture that black mould needs to survive.
• Post-Remediation Clearance: We provide "clearance testing" to certify that your home’s air quality has returned to safe, healthy levels.

We follow a strict, IICRC-standard workflow for every black mould project:

🧠 Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of black mould in a home?

‍Look for dark, slimy, or soot-like spots, especially in damp areas like basements. A strong, musty "earthy" odor and persistent respiratory symptoms are also major red flags.

Is black mould actually toxic?

‍Yes. Certain species of black mould produce mycotoxins that can cause severe allergic reactions, asthma flare-ups, and long-term respiratory issues, particularly in children and seniors.

Do I need to leave my home during the removal?

‍For small, localized areas, you can usually stay as long as the area is contained. For extensive black mould infestations, we often recommend vacating the property during the "active removal" phase for your safety.

How long does the process take?

‍Most black mould remediation projects in Calgary take 3 to 5 days, which includes the setup, removal, cleaning, and final drying time.

Can I just spray it with bleach?

‍No. Bleach does not kill the "roots" of mould on porous surfaces like drywall and can actually encourage deeper growth by providing moisture. Professional removal is the only permanent solution.
