Mould can be a significant health hazard, causing respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other serious health issues. At 24/7 Restoration in Oakville, we understand the importance of thorough Mould inspection and effective remediation. Using specialized equipment ensures that mold is detected accurately and removed completely, safeguarding your home or business. Here’s an overview of the essential equipment we use in our mold inspection and remediation services.

Mold Inspection Equipment

Moisture Meters Moisture meters are crucial for detecting areas with high moisture levels, which can indicate potential mold growth. These devices measure the moisture content in various materials, such as wood, drywall, and concrete, helping us identify hidden mold colonies.

Infrared Cameras Infrared (thermal imaging) cameras detect temperature variations behind walls and under floors. Since mould often thrives in damp and warm environments, these cameras help pinpoint areas with excess moisture and potential mold growth without invasive procedures.

Hygrometers Hygrometers measure the humidity levels in the air. High humidity can contribute to mold growth, so maintaining an optimal indoor humidity level is essential. Our inspectors use hygrometers to assess and monitor indoor humidity, ensuring it stays within safe limits.

Borescopes Borescopes are flexible inspection cameras that allow us to see inside walls, ceilings, and other hard-to-reach places. They help us inspect areas for mould growth without causing damage to the structure.

Air Sampling Pumps and Cassettes Air sampling is a critical part of mold inspection. We use air sampling pumps and cassettes to collect air samples from different areas of the property. These samples are then analyzed in a laboratory to determine the type and concentration of mould spores present.

Mold Remediation Equipment

HEPA Vacuums High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) vacuums are designed to capture microscopic mold spores and dust particles. They are essential for cleaning surfaces and removing mould residues without spreading spores into the air.

Air Scrubbers Air scrubbers use HEPA filters to clean the air in contaminated areas. They remove mold spores, dust, and other airborne contaminants, improving air quality and preventing the spread of mould during remediation.

Negative Air Machines Negative air machines create a controlled airflow that directs mold spores and other contaminants out of the remediation area. By maintaining negative air pressure, these machines prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of the building.

Dehumidifiers Dehumidifiers are used to reduce moisture levels in the air and materials. By creating a dry environment, dehumidifiers help inhibit mold growth and accelerate the drying process after water damage.

Antimicrobial Cleaners Specialized antimicrobial cleaners are used to treat and disinfect surfaces contaminated with mold. These cleaners kill mold spores and prevent future growth, ensuring a thorough and lasting remediation.

Encapsulation Products After mould removal, we use encapsulation products to seal affected surfaces. These products create a protective barrier that prevents mold from returning and ensures the long-term safety of the property.

At 24/7 Restoration in Oakville we are committed to providing top-notch mould inspection and remediation services. Our use of specialized equipment ensures that we can detect and remove mold effectively, protecting your health and property.
