Mold Inspection, Removal & Remediation

Mold is not just unsightly—it can be a serious health risk and a sign of deeper water damage in your property. At Water Damage Restoration Vancouver, we offer complete mold inspection, removal, and remediation services to protect your home, business, and health.

Why Is Mold a Problem?

Mold thrives in moist environments and can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure. If left untreated, mold can damage walls, ceilings, carpets, and furniture. Worse, it can release airborne spores that trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory conditions—especially dangerous for children, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems.

Signs You May Have Mold

  • Musty or damp odors
  • Discolored patches on walls or ceilings
  • Recent water damage or leaks
  • Increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors
  • Warped drywall or peeling paint
