Mould Remediation & Drywall Replacement Services in Sherwood Park, AB

Mould Remediation Services

Our mould remediation solutions address contamination at its source through thorough inspection, specialized removal techniques, and targeted treatment of affected drywall systems. Professional assessment identifies moisture sources while decontamination processes eliminate harmful spores and restore structural integrity.

Professional Mould Assessment and Inspection

We properly evaluate affected drywall before any remediation begins. Our certified technicians examine visible mould growth and use moisture detection equipment to locate hidden contamination within wall cavities and ceiling spaces.

Key inspection areas include:

• Bathroom walls and ceiling joints
• Basement drywall near foundation walls
• Kitchen areas around plumbing fixtures
• HVAC system connections

Moisture testing reveals water intrusion sources that fuel mould growth. Digital moisture meters detect elevated humidity levels behind drywall surfaces before visible damage appears.



Documentation includes photographs and moisture readings for each affected area. This creates a detailed remediation plan that addresses both surface contamination and underlying moisture problems.

Drywall Mould Removal and Decontamination

Contaminated drywall requires complete removal when mould penetrates beyond surface layers.

Affected sections are cut back to clean, dry framing members. HEPA-filtered containment systems prevent spore dispersal during demolition and disposal processes. All contaminated materials are sealed in plastic sheeting and removed according to health regulations.

Our decontamination process includes:

1. Surface cleaning with antimicrobial solutions
2. Air scrubbing using HEPA filtration systems
3. Structural treatment of exposed framing
4. Moisture barrier application before new drywall



New drywall should include mould-resistant materials in high-moisture areas. Proper vapour barriers and ventilation prevent future contamination issues.

Black Mould Repair and Treatmen

Black mould infestations demand specialized removal protocols due to potential health risks. Complete containment isolates affected areas from occupied spaces during treatment.

Personal protective equipment protects our workers from toxic spore exposure. Negative air pressure systems direct contaminated air through HEPA filters before exterior discharge.

Structural repairs address water damage that created ideal growth conditions. This includes replacing damaged insulation, treating wood framing, and using improved moisture control systems.

Treatment verification:

• Post-removal air quality testing
• Surface sampling confirmation
• Moisture level documentation
• Visual clearance inspection



New drywall receives primer-sealer to create additional protection against future moisture penetration and mould development.

Specialized Drywall Replacement for Mould and Water Damage

Water damage and mould contamination require specific drywall replacement techniques that go beyond standard repairs. Effective restoration involves proper assessment, structural repairs, and placing moisture-resistant materials to prevent future problems.

Water-Damaged Drywall Restoration

Water-damaged drywall loses its structural integrity and becomes a breeding ground for mould growth. We provide an immediate assessment to determine replacement requirements.

Signs requiring replacement:

• Sagging or bulging walls
• Persistent musty odours
• Discoloration or staining
• Soft or crumbling texture

Our restoration process begins with moisture testing to identify affected areas. All saturated drywall must be removed at least 12 inches beyond visible damage.

We use specialized equipment to detect hidden moisture behind walls. This prevents incomplete repairs that lead to recurring mould issues.



Our restoration steps also include structural drying as well as proper antimicrobial treatment. You should never attempt to dry severely water-damaged drywall in place. The material's paper backing retains moisture and supports mould growth even after surface drying.

Structural Drywall Repair Solutions

Structural damage from water exposure requires comprehensive wall repair beyond surface-level fixes. Your home's framework may need reinforcement before new drywall is hung.

Water damage often affects wooden studs and metal framing behind drywall. We offer a professional assessment to identify compromised structural elements.

Common structural issues include:

• Rotted wooden studs
• Corroded metal framing
• Damaged electrical systems
• Compromised insulation

Our repair process addresses these underlying problems first. Replacing drywall over damaged framing creates safety hazards and future failures. Load-bearing walls require special attention during drywall replacement. We use temporary support systems during extensive structural repairs to maintain building integrity.

Targeted Solutions for Common Mould Problem Areas

Different areas of your home require specialized mould remediation approaches due to unique moisture conditions and structural considerations. Bathrooms need ventilation improvements and waterproof materials, basements require comprehensive moisture control and full drywall replacement, while ceilings demand careful structural assessment and specialized repair techniques.

Bathroom Mould Repair

Bathroom mould develops primarily around areas where moisture accumulates daily. We address both surface contamination and underlying moisture issues to prevent recurrence.

High-risk zones include:

• Behind toilet tanks
• Around the bathtub caulking
• Shower wall corners
• Under sink areas

We remove all contaminated drywall and insulation within the affected zone, and hang mould-resistant drywall specifically designed for high-moisture environments. We also improve ventilation and seal all penetrations with waterproof materials.



Replacing standard drywall with cement board or moisture-resistant options in shower surrounds prevents future mould growth even if minor leaks occur.

Basement Drywall Replacement

Basement mould often affects large wall sections due to foundation moisture and poor air circulation. Complete drywall replacement becomes necessary when contamination extends beyond surface cleaning.

We locate the moisture source before replacing any materials. Our team also checks for foundation cracks, poor drainage, or plumbing leaks that contribute to humidity problems.

Replacement process:

1. Remove all contaminated drywall to the studs
2. Treat exposed framing with an antimicrobial solution
3. Place vapour barriers on exterior walls
4. Use mould-resistant drywall products

We use proper dehumidification systems to maintain humidity below 50%. This prevents future mould growth on new materials.



In some cases, we use rigid foam insulation instead of fibreglass batts. Foam doesn't retain moisture and provides better thermal performance in below-grade applications.

Ceiling Mould Repair

Ceiling mould typically indicates roof leaks, plumbing issues, or condensation problems from above. You need immediate action since structural damage can occur quickly.

Our contractors first identify the moisture source before beginning repairs. We check attic spaces, roof areas, and upper-floor plumbing for active leaks.

After that, we remove contaminated ceiling drywall in sections to prevent debris from spreading spores throughout your living space. We use plastic sheeting to contain the work area.

Our ceiling mould repair steps include the following:

• Inspect ceiling joists for structural damage
• Test insulation moisture levels
• Replace wet insulation completely
• Apply mould treatment to the framing



We address ventilation issues that contributed to the original problem and monitor repaired areas for several months to ensure no recurring moisture issues develop.

Advanced Moisture and Mould Prevention Strategies

Effective moisture control and targeted remediation techniques form the foundation of long-term mould prevention in residential and commercial properties. Professional testing methods and specialized sanitation processes ensure comprehensive protection against future contamination.

Moisture Control Drywall Repair

Moisture control drywall repair addresses the root cause of mould growth by eliminating water intrusion points and placing vapour barriers. This process involves removing compromised drywall sections and treating the underlying structure.

Primary repair techniques include:

• Sealing wall cavities with moisture-resistant barriers
• Using proper ventilation systems behind repaired sections
• Putting mould-resistant drywall compounds and primers

Common problem areas include plumbing leaks, HVAC condensation, and exterior water penetration through foundation cracks.

Material specifications:

• Type X or Type C moisture-resistant drywall
• Antimicrobial joint compounds
• Vapour-permeable paint systems



The repair process requires complete drying of wall cavities to moisture levels below 15%. Professional equipment monitors humidity levels during the 24-48 hour drying period before new drywall hanging begins.

Drywall Moisture Testing and Odour Removal

Drywall moisture testing uses specialized equipment to detect hidden water damage and potential mould growth areas. Our professional testing identifies moisture levels in wall cavities, insulation, and structural components.

Testing methods include:

• Pin-type moisture meters for surface readings
• Pinless meters for scanning large wall areas
• Thermal imaging cameras for detecting temperature variations
• Hygrometers for ambient moisture measurement

Testing results determine the extent of remediation required. Moisture readings above 16% in drywall materials indicate active water damage requiring immediate attention.

Odour removal follows moisture elimination and involves treating affected surfaces with enzymatic cleaners. These products break down organic compounds that create musty smells associated with mould growth.

Odour treatment process involves:

1. Removing contaminated materials
2. Applying enzymatic cleaning solutions
3. Using ozone generators for persistent odours
4. Utilizing activated carbon filtration systems



Professional odour removal typically requires 2-3 treatment cycles over 7-10 days for complete elimination.

Mildew Removal and Sanitation

Mildew removal requires different techniques than mould remediation due to its surface-level growth pattern. Sanitation protocols prevent cross-contamination during the cleaning process.

Effective mildew removal solutions:

• 3% hydrogen peroxide for porous surfaces
• White vinegar solution (10:1 ratio) for non-porous materials
• Commercial antimicrobial cleaners for heavy contamination

Our cleaning process progresses from the least contaminated to the most contaminated areas. This prevents spreading mildew spores to previously cleaned surfaces.

Sanitation procedures include:

• HEPA filtration during cleaning operations
• Disposal of contaminated cleaning materials
• UV-C light treatment for final surface sterilization
• Air quality testing post-remediation

Professional sanitation involves treating HVAC systems, replacing air filters, and cleaning ductwork. This comprehensive approach prevents mildew recurrence through airborne spore circulation.

Surface preparation before sanitation requires removing loose material and debris. Clean surfaces respond better to antimicrobial treatments and maintain their protective properties longer.
