Mould
Biggs & Narciso has unrivaled expertise and experience with the removal of moulds. We will not only remove and repair the affected areas, but will also identify and fix the root cause of the problem to prevent any reoccurrence. During the remediation process, we isolate the affected area to prevent the spread of mould to unaffected areas of the building. Contaminated materials are gathered and disposed of properly to abate any secondary contamination. Mould is a common problem that must be completely removed to avoid further problems. Our work has been proven effective in dozens of buildings throughout Ontario. We can work with you to remedy your mould problem regardless of how small or large. And we can provide followup assistance to curtail any future mould problems in your building.

What is Mould?
Moulds are a type of fungus that are found almost anywhere - both outdoors and indoors. Indoor moulds usually originate from outside organic sources such as soil and vegetation. As  part of their reproductive cycle, moulds produce millions of microscopic particles called spores. Moulds spread by releasing these spores into the air. The presence of moisture is essential for moulds to grow and they are therefore usually found in damp, poorly ventilated areas. Bathrooms are an ideal place for fungus growth. While the individual spores are invisible to the naked eye, mould colonies are visible as colourful, woolly growths. Mould spores are a major source of indoor air pollution causing allergic reactions similar to hay fever. Often people who experience allergic reactions to mould spores are susceptible to asthma. In many cases, simply limiting sources of moisture and condensation and improving ventilation can reduce the presence of mould spores.
