A musty basement, a dark patch behind a closet wall, or a family member whose allergies flare up only at home — these are the calls we get. Mold inspection and testing in Calgary starts with one question: where is the water coming from? Kill the moisture source and you kill the mold.
Our assessment begins visually and methodically. We examine suspect areas, then use moisture meters and thermal imaging to map elevated moisture in materials that look perfectly dry on the surface. Common Calgary culprits include basement seepage after spring melt, window well drainage, ice damming at the eaves, bathroom fans that vent into the attic, humidifiers left running all winter, and slow supply-line leaks behind vanities.
Where sampling is appropriate, we collect air and/or surface samples and send them to an accredited independent laboratory. Air sampling compares indoor spore counts against an outdoor control so the results mean something; surface sampling identifies what a specific growth actually is. You receive the lab report along with our interpretation in plain language.
The deliverable is a clear picture: what we found, where the moisture is coming from, what the lab says, and what should happen next — including whether a qualified remediation contractor is warranted and what scope they should be quoting.

Mold in Calgary's Dry Climate
People assume Calgary is too dry for mold. Indoors, that's not how it works. Sealed modern homes trap humidity from showers, cooking, and laundry, and tightly built basements hold moisture against concrete. Add spring runoff against a foundation, ice dams in a chinook freeze-thaw, and whole-house humidifiers running through a -25°C week, and there's plenty of water available in exactly the hidden places mold prefers.
