Found mold — or smelling something musty you can't find? London Restoration Pros removes mold safely and fixes the moisture problem that caused it, across London and surrounding communities.
Spraying mold with a store-bought cleaner makes it invisible for a few weeks. It doesn't kill roots inside porous drywall, doesn't touch the spores already in your air, and does nothing about the moisture feeding it. Professional mold remediation is a different process entirely:
We find every affected area — including behind walls and under floors — and identify the water source feeding it.
The work area is sealed with poly sheeting and put under negative air pressure so spores don't spread through your house during removal.
Contaminated porous materials (drywall, insulation, carpet underpad) are removed and bagged inside containment. Hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated.
HEPA filtration units run throughout the job to capture airborne spores.
The leak, condensation, or humidity problem gets fixed — otherwise you're paying for the same job again next year.
The area is dried, cleaned, and inspected before containment comes down.
London's clay soil holds water against foundations, and the finished basements common in neighbourhoods like Whitehills, Westmount, and Pond Mills trap that moisture behind drywall and under carpet where nobody sees it until the smell arrives.
In hundreds of local homes, bathroom exhaust fans vent into the attic instead of through the roof. All winter, warm moist air hits the cold roof sheathing, condenses, and grows mold. Most homeowners discover it when they sell — a home inspector goes up the hatch and the deal stalls.
Old East Village, Wortley Village, and Old North bring their own pattern: stone or early-brick foundations that were never waterproofed, plaster walls that hold moisture, and additions where old meets new and air leaks condense.
Every flooded basement, burst pipe, or slow appliance leak is a mold problem on a 24–48 hour timer. If you've had water in the last few days, drying matters more than demolition — call before you rip anything out.
Less than you'd think. "Black mold" (Stachybotrys) gets the headlines, but Health Canada's position is that any significant indoor mold growth should be removed, whatever the species or colour. Colour doesn't tell you toxicity — a lab test does, and even then the fix is the same: remove it, and fix the moisture.
If you want certainty before committing to remediation, start with testing.
Honest ranges, because no two jobs are alike. Every quote is written, itemized, and preceded by an actual assessment — never a price over the phone sight-unseen.
Under ~10 sq ft — e.g. a bathroom ceiling corner.
A basement wall section, attic sheathing treatment.
Finished basement gut after long-term moisture; whole attic.
Health Canada suggests homeowners can clean very small patches (under about 1 square metre) on hard surfaces with detergent and water. Beyond that — or if it's inside walls, on porous materials, or keeps returning — containment and professional removal are strongly recommended, because disturbing mold without containment spreads spores through the house.
If it's clearly visible and the source is obvious, testing is optional — remediation is the fix either way. Testing earns its cost when mold is suspected but not visible, when you need documentation for a real estate deal or landlord dispute, or post-remediation to verify clearance.
Not if the moisture problem is fixed. That's why every job includes identifying the water source — and why we do waterproofing work as well.
Usually only when the mold results from a sudden, insured water event (like a burst pipe you claimed). Gradual seepage and long-term humidity mold typically aren't covered. We'll tell you honestly which side of the line your situation falls on.
Yes — Strathroy, Woodstock, St. Thomas, Exeter & Grand Bend, Tillsonburg and everywhere between.
