Does all drywall need to come out if there is mould?
No. The plan depends on the material, extent of growth, moisture and whether the material can be cleaned and dried safely.
Mould and moisture
Mould remediation in Edmonton
Mould often points to a water or moisture problem. We look for the cause before planning the repair.
What the work can involve
Mould work depends on what caused the moisture
- Review of the visible affected area and likely moisture source.
- Moisture checks where appropriate.
- Cleaning or removal of materials based on condition and scope.
- Drying and preparation of the area.
- Repair and reconstruction after the moisture problem is addressed.
What we keep clear
Scope before promises.
- We are contractors, not doctors, and we do not make medical claims about mould exposure.
- Not every mould job needs the same demolition or testing plan.
- Large or complex conditions may need an independent environmental consultant or other specialist.
Insurance
What insurance means for this kind of job

Mould and moisture in Edmonton basements
Basements can hide moisture behind finishes, around foundation walls and under flooring.
The repair is not complete if the moisture source is ignored, so the cause is part of the plan before reconstruction.
One team through the rebuild
Cleanup is not the finish line.
Once the affected area is ready, Property Assist can continue into reconstruction. That can include drywall, flooring, trim, paint and a larger basement rebuild where the job requires it.

Clear answers before the work starts.
Do you test the air for mould?
Not every job needs air testing. For larger, complex or disputed conditions, an independent environmental professional may be the right person to set or verify the scope.
Can you rebuild after mould remediation?
Yes. Once the moisture issue is addressed and the area is ready, Property Assist can repair the damaged finishes.
Can mould come back after repairs?
Mould can return if the moisture problem returns. That is why the water or humidity source needs to be addressed as part of the work.
