Mold is one of the most common and costly problems for homes and businesses in Vancouver. With our damp climate, even a small leak or hidden moisture pocket can turn into a major mold infestation. The key to safe and lasting remediation is following a proven process from start to finish. At Novaco Restoration, our IICRC-certified team uses advanced methods and equipment to ensure mold is removed properly, air quality is restored, and your property stays protected long-term.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Every mold problem is different, but we always follow a structured step-by-step process to make sure no detail is missed.
- Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a full inspection, using moisture meters, infrared cameras, and when needed, air sampling. This allows us to identify both visible mold and hidden growth behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings. - Containment
To stop spores from spreading into clean areas, we build containment barriers and use negative air pressure. This is especially important in homes, offices, and multi-unit buildings in Vancouver. - Air Filtration
We run HEPA air scrubbers and vacuums that capture airborne mold spores and improve indoor air quality while we work. - Safe Mold Removal
Contaminated materials such as drywall, insulation, and flooring are carefully removed and disposed of. Non-porous surfaces are scrubbed, cleaned, and treated with EPA-approved antimicrobial products. - Drying and Dehumidification
We dry all affected areas using commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers, bringing materials back to safe moisture levels. - Repairs and Restoration
Once remediation is complete, we repair or replace drywall, flooring, trim, and paint so your property looks and feels like new. - Verification
We perform a final inspection and provide a detailed report. Post-remediation testing can be arranged if required for peace of mind or insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove mold myself?
Small patches on tile or metal can sometimes be cleaned safely, but mold on drywall, wood, or insulation requires professional remediation. DIY cleaning often leaves spores behind and mold comes back stronger.
How long does the remediation process take?
Most residential mold projects take 2 to 5 days depending on the size and complexity of the damage. Larger commercial jobs may take longer.
Is mold remediation covered by insurance?
Many policies cover mold if it results from a sudden and accidental water event, such as a burst pipe. We provide documentation to support your claim.
Will the mold come back?
Not if the moisture source is corrected. We dry the structure to safe levels and advise on ventilation or repairs to prevent mold from returning.
