Mold Services

Mould or mold, no matter how you spell it – it can spell trouble. If you know or even suspect that mold may be present in your home, our certified technicians can help with identification, removal and prevention.

Mold Remediation

We offer professional mold remediation (removal) services for crawlspaces, attics, and the interior of your home. We don’t just cover it up or fog it – we remove it. Our technicians will help you determine the cause and assist you with the repairs and upgrades needed to prevent it from returning. If your insulation also needs an upgrade, you may be eligible for assistance with mold remediation costs as well.

Inspections & Assessments

You may not always see the mold in your home, instead, you may notice a musty or dank odour in a specific room. Our technicians have years of experience and training in mold recognition and assessment and use the most up-to-date tools. When we conduct a home assessment, if there is mold – you can be assured we will find it avoiding expensive air quality testing.

Air Quality Testing

We can conduct air quality testing for homeowners, pre- and post-remediation, as well as sampling and analysis for home buyers. In this process, air samples are taken from any rooms/areas of concern and compared with an outdoor sample. After analysis you are provided with a written report of spore counts.

Ventilation Services

Removing mold is just the first step. Our ‘SOULution techs’ will help you identify the cause and prevent it from recurring – keeping your home healthy. The main cause of mold growth is lack of ventilation or incorrect ventilation. Low insulation also contributes to mold growth in your attic and your home. Once we remove the mold, we’ll repair and update the ventilation issues and bring your insulation level to code. Proper ventilation, airflow and insulation makes it difficult for condensation to settle and mold to grow.

Correct Fan Exhaust Connection in attic

Fan Exhaust Connection Upgrades

A common cause of attic mold is incorrect fan exhaust connections that come from the bathrooms, range and dryer. They often leak moist air into your attic or have been installed to run a long distance across the attic, losing pull. This creates the perfect environment for mold growth. Our experienced technicians will bring your fan exhaust connections up to code to avoid future problems.

Roof Vent

Fan Roof Stem Vents

Fan exhaust connections vent out the roof through roof stem vents. To avoid mold growth in your attic your fan exhaust connections vent in a straight path out the roof through a correctly installed stem vent. If they are not, the Home SOULutions techs will let you know. We can upgrade these vents so the complete system – from the bath fan – to the exhaust connections in the attic – and out the roof stem vent – is working seamlessly.

Bathroom Fan

Bathroom Fan Installs

New bathroom fans circulate more air and are quieter than older fans. Our technicians install high airflow, quiet and energy-efficient fans. The bathroom fans connect to the exhausts in the attic and then expel out the roof through the roof vents. This complete system – if correct – will reduce humidity in the home and the attic and therefore help to prevent mould growth. Let us help you improve the air quality in your home today.

Attic & Crawlspace Services

Whether you’ve had an infestation or it’s just time for a clean out of your attic or crawlspace. We have the equipment and skills needed to safely remove all kinds of insulation, debris, dust, and droppings. Our technicians will leave your attic disinfected and smelling wonderful again.

Insulation Removal

Rats, raccoons — even otters — we have seen it all! While these furry little critters may look cute, they can cause a lot of damage and odour in your insulation. Is it time for a clean-out? Let us do the dirty work for you. As new insulation will need to be installed, you may be eligible for assistance with insulation and removal costs through the BC Energy Savings program.

Cleaning

All of our attic or crawlspace insulation removal and cleaning jobs are finished up with a thorough hepa-vacuum, and a disinfectant deodorizing treatment. Your attic or crawlspace will be clean and smell wonderful again.

Insulation Installation

Insulation Installs

Whether your crawlspace needs foundation, floor joist or rim joist insulation to bring it up to code, or your attic needs a top-up or you require all new insulation installed – we can help. Ask us for information on financial assistance, rebates and grants for insulation upgraes.

Financial Assistance & Rebates

Home SOULutions is an approved contractor with the BC Energy Savings program, also known as Clean BC or the Income Qualified program, and is an approved insulation contractor with the Home Performance Stakeholders Council. This means if we do your work, you can apply for financial assistance, rebates and grants.

BC Energy Program financial assistance: Did you know you can apply for financial assistance, not only for insulation upgrades but may also be eligible for assistance with insulation removal due to rodent infestations and mold remediation under their Health & Safety program?

BC Hydro Rebate: Homeowners may be eligible for a rebate for your insulation upgrade. You need to have a BC Hydro account, the address is your primary residence and you heat your home with baseboard heating, a heat pump, electric radiant ceiling or floors, or an electric forced-air furnace.
Federal Grant: You may be eligible for a grant for your insulation upgrades. This is a longer process and entails a pre – and a post – home Retrofit EnerGuide Evaluation with an NRCan Registered Energy Advisor.
