When We Recommend Mold Testing:
Our Testing Methods:
Air Sampling:
Surface Sampling:
Bulk Sampling:
Testing results from accredited Canadian laboratories inform our remediation strategy and provide documentation for insurance claims or legal purposes.
Before removal begins, we establish strict containment protocols preventing mold spore spread to unaffected areas:
Physical Containment:
Air Filtration Systems:
Worker Protection:
Containment is critical—disturbing mold releases millions of microscopic spores that spread contamination. Professional containment protects your family and unaffected areas.
Mold remediation employs different techniques depending on material type and contamination severity:
Non-Porous Materials (Cleanable):
Semi-Porous Materials (Case-by-Case):
Porous Materials (Often Require Removal):
HVAC System Cleaning:
Our technicians use EPA-registered antimicrobial and antifungal treatments that kill mold and prevent regrowth. We never simply paint over mold or use ineffective home remedies.
Mold-contaminated materials require careful handling and disposal:
We ensure contaminated materials never pass through clean areas of your property.
After mold removal, thorough cleaning eliminates remaining spores:
This meticulous cleaning phase prevents mold from returning.
Mold cannot grow without moisture. Eliminating moisture sources is essential for long-term success:
Addressing Moisture Sources:
Humidity Control:
Prevention Strategies:
Without moisture control, mold will return even after professional remediation.
The final phase restores your property to pre-contamination condition:

Your questions answered
Mold remediation costs vary based on contamination extent, location, and property size. Small projects (under 10 square feet) may cost $500-$1,500, while moderate projects (10-100 square feet) typically range $1,500-$4,000. Extensive mold problems exceeding 100 square feet may cost $4,000-$10,000+. PAB Restoration provides free inspections and detailed written estimates before work begins.
Coverage depends on your policy and mold cause. Insurance typically covers mold resulting from sudden, accidental water damage like burst pipes but may not cover mold from gradual leaks or maintenance neglect. PAB Restoration works directly with insurance companies to maximize your coverage and handles claim documentation.
Timeline depends on project size and complexity:
We provide accurate timelines after initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the process.
This depends on contamination extent and location. Small, contained mold remediation in one room may allow you to occupy other areas. Extensive mold throughout property, black mold, or compromised air quality typically requires temporary relocation. We assess habitability during inspection and help arrange alternative accommodations if needed.
Properly executed mold remediation prevents recurrence by eliminating moisture sources and treating surfaces with antimicrobials. However, if new water problems develop or humidity isn’t controlled, mold can return. PAB Restoration addresses root causes and provides prevention guidance to ensure mold doesn’t return.
Common indicators include:
PAB Restoration provides free mold inspections identifying problems and recommending solutions.
Mildew is a type of mold that grows on surfaces (typically white or gray, powdery appearance). All mildew is mold, but not all mold is mildew. Both require moisture and should be addressed promptly, though mold generally penetrates deeper and causes more serious problems than surface mildew.
Never paint over mold. Paint traps moisture allowing mold to continue growing behind the coating, and mold will eventually bleed through paint causing discoloration and odors. Mold must be properly remediated before repainting. PAB Restoration removes mold completely, then applies mold-resistant primers and paints.
When mold threatens your Toronto property and health, trust PAB Restoration’s IICRC-certified specialists to eliminate it safely and completely. Our comprehensive mold remediation services combine advanced technology, proven protocols, and experienced technicians to restore your home or business to a safe, healthy condition.
