Mold anaysis and remediation

I have had the honour of working with with Ross twice in the last month as I am realtor and we run into "mold issues" and air quality reports more and more these days. In the first instance my vendors house showed mold in the basement and other areas based on an air quality report interpreted by another company. I called Ross and asked him to look at the report and provide feedback as well as come out an have a look at the problem. When Ross says they take the "mystery out of mold" he is correct. The problem which was initially quoted at 5000.00 plus by another, was idenified by Ross as a small amount of mold in the cold room and the other readings had not been taken effectively. For less than 1,000 dollars, Ross cleaned up the problem and provided new (proper) air quality reports and the buyer was satisfied and my vendor sold their house.

3 weeks later my own house which was on the market was the subject an air quality report. When it came back, the buyer (another realtor) panicked saying there was a mold problem that according to his mold specialists, would cost 5 to 15,000. to repair. Thanks to Ross who had taught me how to read these reports a little better, I saw that there were no counts that were of concern. I asked Ross to call the other realtor and speak with him. Ross did this on a Friday night while he was at the cottage on his first day off in months. When explained in a truthful and forthright fashion the buyer was satisfied with the report (which was an excellent one) and he said he will now use Ross for all of his mold issues.

I have learned there are a lot of people who will just take your money if you let them and tell you terrible things to scare you out of your dollars. Ross is one of the most honest, truthful, and fair professionals in this business. He is prompt and goes the extra mile. When in doubt about mold please call him. You will be doing yourself a favor. Thank you Ross for helping to take the mystery out of mold. Sue McArthur

Wow, thanks very much Sue, Sometimes you just need to look at mold a little more logical than emotional and it starts to make sense.

Attic mold removal

Ross did a great job removing the mold in our attic back in June. Before choosing Ross, of course shopped around and got some outrageous quotes. The big difference with Ross was that he didn't give us a story saying that the sky was falling and instead provided a more level headed analysis of our situation so I didn't sense that he wanted to gouge my wallet. In fact he even said that it was not serious and in his opinion did not require immediate attention due to it's low risk state but since we were going to reinsulate our attic we felt that it needed to be dealt with. Before attacking the mold I had to remove debris from the attic and Ross was of great assistance. There was quite a bit of junk to dispose of but Ross was awesome in taking it all to the dump for me so big thanks to Ross for this. He even provided me all the necessary gear to wear to get the job done. Apart from his excellent service he has a fun and easy going personality but professional as well. Would highly recommend, thanks Ross!

Mold removal

We recently sold our home and the home inspection included an air quality test that showed evidence of mold in the cold cellar under our front porch.
We had to take care of it before the deal could go through so it was a very important and stressful situation.
We contacted Ross at MoldServices.ca and it turned out to be the best call we could have made. Ross showed up the next day as promised - and inspected the situation.
He determined that the small amount of mold on the ceiling of the cold room was the result of the original builder not having removed the wood framing used to pour the front porch when the home was built in 1989.
Over the years the dampness in the cold cellar resulted in a small amount of mold growing. He made it clear that the situation was not so serious and that he could fix it quickly.
Ross came out on a Saturday afternoon, removed the framing, painted the room with a mold-killing solution, and ran an air scrubber for 24 hours. He returned the next day (Sunday) and performed an air quality test - then rushed the results so that we had them within 24 hours - and our home passed the test easily. The house deal closed that same night.
I cannot overemphasize how pleased we were with Ross's service from beginning to end.
He was fast, informative,professional and very friendly - and he performed the work for a very reasonable price - much less than we anticipated.
I would recommend his services to anyone.

Basement water damage

Honest, respectful, understanding and truly a company that takes pride on their work. Ms. Kay took the time to explain to me the things they are going to do to our basement and with the follow-up assurance from Mr. Ross a job well done! The price we paid was well worth it and they worked on our problem so fast.
From the time they started to the time they finished, we never even feel that someone was working on our house. I will recommend your company anytime, anywhere to anyone!
To the moldservices.ca staff and crews, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Basement Mold Inspection

We were in the process of selling our house and wanted a professional/expert assessment on the discoloration of some basement insulation, which could have easily been mistaken for mold by a less qualify person and thus, jeopardizing the deal/selling price, based on the buyer’s home inspection.

Ross from MoldServices.ca showed up at our house for the inspection. I was very impressed with his expertise on the subject and his explanation on the findings. He inspected the basement and the exterior foundation thoroughly for any problems with moisture/water intrusion and indication of mold. Fortunately, the house was in relatively good shape and I had mistaken some dirty vapor barrier and insulation, due to a leaky sill gasket, as potentially mold. His confirmation and the follow up inspection report put us at ease with the current state of our house.

Although MoldService.ca does charge for their inspection ($150) in the event mold was not found and their Remediation Services is not required, it was worth spending the money for their expertise and to certify the property professionally. MoldServices.ca was actually our second inspection as a second opinion. The first inspection by a competitor told us we had mold (via their free inspection service). They provided an estimate at $1000+ for their Remediation and Treatment Services. The construction cost to replace/reinstall the insulation would cost extra.

All in all I am very happy with the outcome and I will use MoldServices.ca again for the next house.

Approximate cost of services:
$150.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Not based on the scope of our case/project.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
If there are any early signs of moisture in your basement/house, get it checked out/remedied ASAP by MoldServices.ca. It is worth it from a piece of mind perspective and it will save you a lot of money in the long run, as a small mold problem can grow into a very large and expensive undertaking.

Inspection of mold and mold removal services

Every home owners dream is to contract any work out to efficient and honest contractors and Ross at Mold Srevices certainly fits this bill to 100%. Ross came recomended from our home inspector and we are very pleased that Ross was recomended and that we had the fortune to use him. His work, his attitude, his honesty, his insight, his recomendations are just at the top against any contractor I had previously dealt with. I would recomend Ross to anyone and even did that so that shows how confident I felt with Ross and his work. He is even a really nice guy, I enjoyed meeting him and dealing with him and he even liked my yippy dog. He could have stayed all day I and I wouldn't have monded where a lot of contractors you can't wait for them to leave. I want and hope this is the best recomendation possible as in my books he is 15 stars out of 10, not just a 10 out of 10.
Thanks again Ross and if there is any need to require your services again I will most certainly not hesitate to contact you.

Mold Clean Up & Removal

Ross from Mold Services showed up at our house to do the initial assessment and found an inordinate amount of mold on both the main and second floors. He was very knowledgeable, explaining the options and allaying my concerns especially since my elderly mother also lives there. I was impressed by the quick turnaround time in their returning to get the job done. Ross and his colleagues were very considerate and careful with the furniture and broadloom in our home. They got rid of the mold and used natural products in the process which was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend Ross and his team for their expertise, friendly customer service and fair and reasonable prices. Thanks for all of your help!

Mold in my basement

Ross at Mold Sevices, there is no one else! I had a mold problem in my basement so after looking around for quotes I finally came across Mold services. In doing my research I found his price to be the best and their service was excellent. Ross and his crew were very friendly and always had a smile on their faces. Ross is very knowledgable and when explaining the procedures he broke it all down so that I could understand ( knowing nothing about mold). Ross and his crew go rid of my problem. They left their work area spotless I didn't even know thet they were there. I will be definitely be recommending his services to everyone I know. Thanks Ross and Mold Services

We had mold in our attic and the problem weighed us down because of the estimated cost and the recommendation of the inspectors that came to see our attic. Then Ross from MoldServices.ca came to inspect, evaluate and explained the common sense behind the attic mold. I wasn't selling the house so I had not a lot of money to budget for attic mold remediation. Ross gave us a very very reasonable option and quotation and did the good job with no additional cost. Before you pay a lot of money to clear the mold in your attic, I will recommend you call MoldServices.ca they were doing the inspection for free.
