Marijuana Grow Operations: Mold (Mould) Removal and Remediation in Montreal
Marijuana grow-ops in Montreal usually leave big problems in the house such as structural damage and toxic mould (mold). This problem is so severe that the damage cannot be hidden by a simple paint job.
After marijuana grow-ops in Montreal, homes often have holes in the walls for vents that get rid of the majority of the moisture. Damage to the concrete foundation of the home can also occur as a result of rewiring that is used to steal electricity and run the operation.
"Mold Busters Montreal" has been cleaning mold-infested houses in the Quebec region for many years now.

Mold Busters Montreal specializes in cleaning and disinfecting buildings that have been damaged by marijuana growing operations. Our company has given birth to a new type of cleaning service that has resulted from the rise of indoor marijuana grow-ops, which have left homes and industrial buildings infested with toxic mould and structurally marred. Examples of damage that the Mold Busters company has dealt with after area home-grows have been shut down include gaps caused by hacked out floorboards, dangling electrical wires, and wall-to-wall mold.
Mold Busters Montreal has been involved in grow-op clean-ups for the past three years. Our technicians are fully trained and qualified for mold abatement following the guidelines set by the Canadian Construction Association.
Mold is caused by the high humidity levels needed to grow marijuana. Depending on the size of the operation, the mold can spread throughout the entire house. Clean-ups and disinfection involve a thorough manual washing, disinfection, and removal of mold-contaminated materials from all the affected areas.
“Mold Busters left the house so clean that I would not hesitate to eat lunch off the floor,” said Len Kustanovich, project manager of the Carleton Environmental Association.
Airborne particulates must also be knocked down using negative pressure in the affected areas. To do this, Mold Busters uses high efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA). These filters remove the particulates from the air before releasing the air back into the atmosphere. Because continuous exposure to mold can cause health problems, the Mold Busters staff is required to wear personal protection equipment. In severe cases, workers wear disposable hooded, high-fiber suits; heavy rubber gloves, and HEPA breathing equipment.
For a typical basement grow-op, the clean-up could take about a week and cost anywhere from a couple thousand dollars to upward of $30,000 if restoration of structural damage is needed.
