Mold Do’s & Don’ts

“This past spring we gutted our basement and unknown to us we had black mold on the cement walls. When I tore out the bathroom I was totally amazed at what I found. We'd had our two sump pumps run every 10 minutes after the heavy rains during the summer and controlled most of the water, thinking we'd prevented anything from happening regarding mold damage. I called Got Mold? they promptly gave an estimate and their crew came within a short time frame. Very professional group and they took good care and did a tremendous cleaning job of the whole basement even the floor joists and very pleasant. I thought there was a problem on one wall a week after they left and called them...they were here within hours...very impressed. This ended up being nothing and they confirmed this and made us feel at ease. Since having this done I've noticed that I do not have major sneezing attacks...one never knows what could be causing health symptoms and the strange smell that came when the house was closed up for awhile is gone as well. Very satisfied and would recommend Got Mold? to those looking to find out if they have mold or got it already. Also anyone looking for a great company to work for I'd recommend them as they certainly work as a team. Thanks guys!” – Pat Ginter - Regina, SK

“When you are told that you have mold in your home you start to worry if it is spreading, contained or more importantly how is this impacting the health of our family. Being a breast cancer survivor, I was particularly concerned of the health risks. We were very impressed at how "Got Mold" handled the restoration of our basement. The team was very professional, knowledgeable, considerate, friendly and thorough in getting our basement restored. They addressed our problem quickly, keeping everything downstairs contained. They answered our questions and had the job completed within 4 days. Following the remediation, they suggested we have a third party complete air quality testing to ensure there is normal or expected ratio of indoor versus outdoor spore counts. After the testing, the results reflected the restoration was a success and everything came back acceptable. We had no doubt that this would be the outcome due to the professional work that was conducted by the team at "Got Mold". My husband and I would definitely recommend "Got Mold" if anyone is requiring mold remediation. We are extremely pleased with the excellent customer service we received and now have peace of mind that the mold spores have been removed and are no longer a threat. Thank you for making this unfortunate situation as positive an experience as it can be. Thanks so much to the team at "Got Mold" for your assistance. It is greatly appreciated!” – Kerry and John Powell - Emerald Park, SK

“For months I had been getting sicker by the day and my 6 year old daughter starting getting sick too. We had both been to the doctor and they said it was just a cold at first then it was allergies. For me they had give me many different kinds of medication but nothing was working, test were coming back ok, but I was getting worse and worse. My daughter was playing and had dropped a toonie behind her bed, I had to move her bed to get it. I was horrified at what I had seen. It was MOLD growing in the corner on her wall. my first thought was to clean it and get it off. but then I thought is it in the wall? how far does it go? then I went to my room and noticed a little bit on my wall but nothing like hers. Insurance doesn't cover mold, then I remember seeing a truck around town with "Got Mold?" on it so I looked them up and called. They were so friendly and came out to assess what I had found and confirmed it was mold. yuck. They gave me a quote to what it was going to cost and I was very surprised at how inexpressive it was. We scheduled the clean up right away to get it out of my house. the night before I moved my nightstand out of the way in my room and was absolutely horrified and sick the mold was a lot worse in my room then my daughters. I took pictures and send them to got mold right away so they knew what more I had found. The guys came in the morning and I was so happy to see them, they were very good and took care of my problem right away and got it all cleaned up. They gave me the bill and it was a little less then what was quoted. but to me it was priceless. With in a couple of days I started to feel better and I am back to full health again.

Mold is not something to take for granted. I am sure glad I didn't.

Thanks Got Mold for everything and giving me my health back. I will and have recommended you to everyone I know.” – Jolene Hofstra, Saskatoon, SK

“My son has had respiratory problems in the past. We have fought a big battle in order to restore his health. This past spring, his oxygen capacity was measured and the specialists told me that he was at 90% capacity and would likely never improve further but we are thankful for the 90% (as he was once at 63%). Well, today, we returned for our regular appt. and his lung capacity today measured at 116% -- that's right 116%!!!! Better than us!! The Specialist asked me to check off a list of lifestyle and activity changes that we have undergone during the last 6 months. After looking over the form, I couldn't really check anything off. But, it dawned on me that "Mold Remediation" was not on the list. I spoke to the Specialist about this and he was ABSOLUTELY FLABERGASTED!!!!! He then proceeded to quiz me about the process, amount of remediation required, the company that did the job, etc.. He is completely convinced that the remediation process has increased the lung capacity of my son by 26%! This improvement of quality of life is extraordinary, in this Specialist's opinion and literally could remove Spencer from his case load at this time after 13 years of absolutely fighting for his respiratory life!! Throughout our conversation, he decided to keep Spencer on his caseload to follow through his progress since the remediation and forward. He finds this case extremely interesting. He is SHOCKED at the improvement in health after 13 years of meds which could only provide him up to 90% capacity. SOMETHING else improved his respiratory capacity 26% and he is convinced it is the mold removal.

I thank you and your team so much!! I have also noticed an improvement in my health as I used to sneeze and sneeze -- but NO longer. I have many new building materials in my home but they haven't created any type of allergy, sneezing or breathing problems.

Thank you seems to be so trivial but I know no other words of gratuity to say for such a wonderful improvement in our lives.

THANK YOU!!!” – Cherylee Highway, Saskatoon, SK

“On June 29th 2010 our basement flooded, two days before our wedding. The GOTMOLD? crew was called at 4:30am and were on site before 7am cleaning up the water and drying out our basement.

They were very professional, friendly and handled the contract without issue.

We are very thankful for their exceptional service and would highly recommend them.

Thanks got mold?! ” – Charles Dumont, Dundurn,Sk.

“We were concerned when we discovered mold under some old linoleum in our furnace room in the lower level of our home. We had some leakage issues in the past as well as a recent sewer back up.

I remembered seeing the 'got mold?' truck around town and decided to give you a call. Ben came out and assessed the situation and gave us a quote to clean everything up. I liked the idea that he sealed everything off and carefully cleaned and bagged everything before he removed it. He worked quickly and accomplished a lot in his day on site.

I also appreciated the hepa air filter he ran for about seven days to thoroughly clean the air before taking down the plastic containment walls. We learned a lot from the process and will most definitely be more diligent in identifying leaks early and cleaning them up immediately.

Thanks to Ben and everyone at got mold?, we can rest assured our home is safe.” – Maureen McIntosh, Pike Lake Sk.

“I would like to express my appreciation of your service and staff during our recent storms in Saskatoon. My home was a victim of severe sewer back up. Many of my belongings were destroyed and my entire basement had to be gutted.

Your team was the first to respond to many calls and right from the beginning your service was excellent. You have a winning team at Got Mold and I have already recommended your services to others.

It is a pleasure to work with an organization that realizes they’re dealing with people not just a situation.” – Gary Bird - Saskatoon, Sk

“We are very impressed with all the work that was done -very professional! My son had developed health issues shortly after the flood, he was coughing a lot and we had to put him on a medicated puffer because the house hadn’t been cleaned properly by the first restoration company.

got mold? was so empathetic and generous in that we were given filtration equipment and air movers for the cost of delivering them. Since got mold? was here, our son’s health is back to normal, he isn’t coughing anymore and no longer requires his puffer!

To everyone at got mold? thank you!! ” – Chuck & Sandy Tysowski - Yorkton, Sk
