Many homeowners underestimate the danger of mould, and especially the presence of black mould in basements and bathrooms. While most people think of it as only being unsightly, many types of mould are also hazardous to your health and your home. Mould grows indoors on wet or damp surfaces, such as wallpaper, ceiling tiles, carpets, insulation material, wood and drywall. It can start to grow within 48 hours after a flood or other water damage, and if left unchecked, can have serious impact on both your quality of life and your home's physical structure.
If you notice the presence of mould in your home, or think you may have toxic black mould, contact ServiceMaster Restore, Canada’s #1 mould removal experts. We are here to help remove mould and prevent potential health risks and long-term damage to your home.
