Toronto Mold Inspection Company – MoldInspections.ca – Provides Expertise in Holmes Magazine on Mold Inspection, Detection and Prevention

(PRWEB) August 27, 2011

When it comes to home renovation, Holmes on Homes is Canada’s authority. When it comes to mold, MoldInspections.ca is Canada’s mold prevention authority. It’s thus fitting that renovation guru Mike Holmes and his publication, Holmes Magazine, have featured MoldInspections.ca in the latest issue.

A featured article in Holmes Magazine, “Let’s Clean House,” enlists the expertise of MoldInspections.ca owner Tara Valley. She helps the Holmes reporters determine 10 key problems that lead to mold growth and how to prevent it.

Valley and MoldInspections.ca provide numerous tips. For example, Valley points out that “Grout isn’t waterproof” and that any crumbling grout or caulking is no longer watertight, thus fostering mold growth.

Valley also points out that expert companies who test, detect and abate mold are the best options for handling large volumes of surface mold, as they understand properly how to prevent cross-contamination, dry up wet zones and dispose of mold-ridden objects.

She warns home owners about poorly installed flashing, the screwed-in strips of rubber or metal designed to direct water away from chimneys, skylights, windows and doors.

“If exterior flashing doesn’t lie flush against a seam, water seeps in,” Valley says.” “This can breed mold and cause structural damage.”

It’s nothing new for MoldInspections.ca to be featured as a resident mold expert in a major publication like Holmes Magazine. The six-year-old company has a reputation as a leading mold inspection, detection and prevention company across Toronto, the GTA and Ontario. In addition to Holmes Magazine, MoldInspections.ca has also been featured on CTV and Global TV in Toronto.

The trusted MoldInspections.ca team is regularly recommended by contractors, insurance companies, real estate agents and satisfied homeowners. The company has full certification and understands not only how to eliminate mold from a home, but how to properly identify it and ensure it never returns once it’s gone.

MoldInspections.ca sets an industry standard with its thorough, six-step approach to inspecting mold, which includes an initial consultation, visual inspection, sampling, reporting (via third-party lab analysis), recommendations for removal and final air sampling.

Expect to see Tara Valley and the MoldInspections.ca team featured many more times in publications like Holmes Magazine, HGTV and Love It or List It going forward.
