Overcoming Challenges: Mould Remediation in an Unfinished Home

Overcoming Challenges: Mould Remediation in an Unfinished Home

Building a new home is an exciting endeavour, but sometimes unexpected challenges arise along the way. One such challenge might be uncovering the need for mould remediation in the unfinished infrastructure of the building. Mould is a health hazard and a potential cause of significant structural damage if not addressed promptly.

At PuroClean Restoration of Nanaimo, we understand the devastating effects that mould can have on both your property and your health. That’s why we are dedicated to providing swift, thorough, and professional services to remediate your mould problems.

New Home, New Mould

In Nanoose Bay, a builder contacted us to address a mould issue in an unfinished home currently in the process of being built. The construction crew wanted to begin fitting the structure with insulation but had to pause their work due to mould growth.

When our team arrived at the site, we faced the daunting task of completely drying the crawlspace before starting mould removal. It was difficult since it was spring, a season prime for damp conditions. We had to wait for a break in the weather and humidity to reach an appropriate level.

Once the conditions were favourable, we vacuumed the entire crawlspace with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) certified vacuums. We cleaned the floor joists, walls, concrete base, and crawlspace walls.

Given the size of the area, more than one visit was needed. Each visit saw a team of three professionals working diligently to ensure a thorough cleaning.

Beyond the moisture-related challenges, we faced additional hurdles. One of these challenges involved maintaining a reliable power supply to run the necessary fans and equipment. Despite these obstacles, our technicians remained determined to complete the job precisely and efficiently.

After numerous visits and extensive cleaning, the mould remediation process reached its final stage. Our crew completed the last spray over the weekend of June 24th, leaving the space ready to be transformed into a habitable and safe area. We appreciate everyone’s assistance on this project!
