What must you ask the mold removal contractor you are considering?

1. How long have you been in business?
   1. The mold removal industry in Toronto (or any other city in the province of Ontario) is full of unscrupulous mold removal contractors.  Ask the potential mold removal contractor to provide you with references from Clients they have performed work for in the past.  In addition to this and to ensure they do not direct you to their mother, brother, sister or cousin ask the reference you speak to if they would mind if you review the proposal and scope of work that the Contractor prepared for them, photographs of the work in progress and any other pertinent documentation that may assist you in your decision.  The former Client will most likely be unreceptive to this idea; however, if you remind them of the situation they were once in and of the difficulty they had in choosing a remediation contractor they might just assist you.  If you need assistance with a Mold Removal problem GeoFocus Mould Solutions is the Mold Removal Contractor for you!
2. As a mold removal contractor do you carry insurance?
   • This is a great question; however, based on past experience, more than 50% of mold removal contractors performing mold removal in Toronto carry inadequate insurance.  They do not carry insurance specific to the tasks they perform, they purposely incorrectly classify their workers compensation insurance to reduce overhead costs and they leave their Client’s exposed to great liabilities.GeoFocus Mould Solutions carries appropriate insurance coverages and is the Mold Removal Contractor for you!
3. Are your mold removal technicians certified?
   • This is one of the MOST IMPORTANT questions to ask of any mold removal contractor.  To reduce overhead costs and turnover most mold removal contractors only employ 1-2 quality certified mold removal technicians.  The rest of their staff are either certified in day programs, online, or via correspondence.  The rest of their staff may also be day laborers or general labor employed only to assist with work that day.  Ideally you want all technicians working on your project to be Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification Certified.  In addition to this you want to ensure that the technicians being sent to your home are not new employees and that they have been with the firm for an adequate period of time.  This will ensure that all of the items that the firm preaches on the telephone or on their website is well understood by the technicians and that each technician is aware of their firms mandates and responsibilities to clients.GeoFocus Mould Solutions utilizes IICRC Certified Mold Removal technician and is the Mold Removal Contractor for you!
4. How long will the mold removal project last?
   • This is one of the key indicators of experience.  Generally you can easily quantify experience in the mold remediation industry and a firms care for their clients based on the amount of time their technicians will spend on your site.  For example: if a Contractor quotes you next to nothing to remediate your entire attic, office or basement, promises to complete the job in 1, 2 or 3 days then they are most likely promising you substandard work utilizing substandard methods.  Their is no magical equation to mold remediation.  Proper cleaning and filtration is key and it takes time to complete correctly.GeoFocus Mould Solutions takes the time to get the job done right.  We are the Mold Removal Contractor for you!
