Mould Removal in Sherwood Park

If you’ve climbed into your Sherwood Park attic in winter and found frost on the nail tips, or dark stains on the underside of the roof boards, you’re looking at the start of attic mould. We remove attic mould and fix the reason it’s there. We also handle basements, bathrooms and post-leak mould.

How attic mould starts

An attic should stay cold and dry. When warm, humid air from the house leaks up into it, that moisture freezes on the cold roof sheathing and nails. As the weather warms, the frost melts and soaks the wood. Repeat that every winter and mould grows.

The usual culprits:

• Bathroom fans that vent into the attic instead of outdoors.
• Air leaks around the attic hatch, pot lights and plumbing stacks.
• Blocked soffit or roof vents.

What we do

We inspect the sheathing, framing and insulation and trace where the moisture is coming from. Mould is removed from the wood and surfaces are cleaned. Wet or contaminated insulation is replaced. Then we fix the source: fans ducted outside, air leaks sealed, ventilation checked.

Attic mould remediation in Canada generally runs $2,500 to $6,000. We confirm your price after we inspect.

Asbestos

Some older insulation and building materials can contain asbestos. If we suspect it, licensed abatement professionals test and remove it before our work. Our crews don’t do abatement.

Basements and bathrooms too

Not every Sherwood Park call is the attic. Basement mould after a leak or flood, and bathroom mould from poor ventilation, follow the same steps: find the moisture, contain, remove, clean, test. If there’s still water in the basement, Water Damage Edmonton dries it first.
