Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Speedy Mould Removal provide?

We specialize in attic and crawlspace mould remediation, treatment of accessible interior mould, visual inspections, moisture testing and indoor air sampling for mould spores. We serve residential and commercial properties throughout Greater Victoria and surrounding communities.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Victoria, Saanich, North Saanich, Sidney, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Langford, Colwood, Metchosin and Sooke. Contact us to confirm availability for properties outside these areas.

What does a visual mould inspection include?

We assess accessible areas for visible mould, signs of dampness and moisture readings. We explain our observations, the limitations of the inspection and recommended next steps. A visual inspection cannot rule out mould in concealed or inaccessible areas.

Do you inspect behind walls or beneath flooring?

No. Our inspections are non-invasive. We do not open walls, lift floorboards or inspect concealed building cavities. If an invasive investigation is needed, you will need a provider who offers that service.

What does indoor air testing tell me?

We collect air samples for laboratory analysis to identify the types and levels of mould spores present in the sampled air. Results reflect conditions at the time and location of sampling. They do not pinpoint hidden mould or confirm that an entire property is mould-free. Our testing focuses on mould spores, rather than all indoor pollutants, gases or chemicals.

Do I need testing before mould removal?

Not every project requires air testing. We discuss your concerns and the visible conditions to help determine whether an inspection, testing or a remediation estimate is the appropriate next step.

What does full attic or crawlspace remediation include?

We agree on the scope before work begins, protect the work area and treat accessible affected surfaces. Full attic work includes treatment of exposed roof sheathing and rafters. Crawlspace work may include accessible floor joists and wood framing. We provide before-and-after photos and document recommendations for contributing moisture or ventilation issues.

Do you repair or replace damaged building materials?

We do not provide structural repairs, replace damaged building materials or convert attics into finished living spaces. We may be able to complete certain ducting or insulation corrections, depending on the project. Any additional work is discussed and agreed upon before proceeding.

Do you treat mould in bathrooms and bedrooms?

Yes. We treat accessible mould on interior surfaces. We explain the scope and any limitations before starting. Interior treatments do not carry our two-year attic and crawlspace warranty.

Do you offer a warranty?

Full attic and crawlspace mould remediation includes a two-year warranty, provided all recommendations identified during the work—such as ventilation improvements, ducting repairs or moisture corrections—are completed. Interior mould removal and spot treatments are excluded. We explain the coverage and conditions before work begins.

Can mould return after treatment?

Mould can return if moisture conditions persist or new problems develop. Completing the recommended corrections and maintaining moisture control are important parts of preventing recurrence.

How much does mould removal cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the affected area, access, the extent of visible growth and the treatment required. We provide clear pricing for the proposed work and explain any inspection or testing fees before you book.

Can I send photos for an estimate?

Yes. Photos, approximate dimensions and details about access can help us discuss an initial estimate. Some projects require an on-site assessment before we can confirm the scope and price.

How long does the work take?

Timing depends on the size of the space, access and the treatment required. We explain the expected duration and preparation requirements when scheduling your project.

Do I need to leave my home during treatment?

Occupancy restrictions depend on the product, treatment method and work area. Before the appointment, we explain preparation, ventilation and re-entry requirements for people and pets. Follow the project-specific instructions provided by our team.

Will there be an odour after treatment?

Treatment products may leave an odour. Its duration depends on the product, ventilation and conditions in the space. We explain what to expect and provide ventilation and re-entry instructions. Odour alone should not be used to decide when an area is ready to re-enter.

Can you help when I am buying or selling a property?

Yes. We can discuss visual inspections, air testing and remediation for accessible areas. Our reports and photos document the work or findings within the agreed scope; they do not certify that an entire property is mould-free.

What are your hours?

We are available from 7 AM to 7 PM, seven days a week. Inspections, testing and remediation appointments are scheduled in advance.

How do I book?

Call 778-401-3674 or use our website’s contact form. Include your location, the affected area, any available photos and your preferred timing. We will discuss the appropriate next step and any applicable fees before booking.
