Why Mold Testing Matters
In Vancouver’s damp climate, mold can grow and spread in as little as 24–48 hours after moisture appears. Left untreated, it can damage walls, ceilings, and floors—and cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Testing is the first step to a safe, healthy property. Whether you’ve spotted visible mold, noticed a musty smell, or want peace of mind before buying a home, we give you answers quickly and clearly.
