Safesite RestorationBathroom mold removal in Toronto
Safesite handles bathroom and washroom mold removal in Toronto, from mold that keeps coming back on the ceiling to mold inside walls behind a leaking tub or shower.
We find the moisture source, usually a failed exhaust fan, a leaking fixture or broken caulking, so the mold doesn't return after the cleanup.

What we do
- Check behind the tub, shower and toilet for hidden leaks
- Remove mold from ceilings, walls and grout; cut out moldy drywall where it has grown in
- Containment and HEPA air filtration while we work
- Replace drywall and caulking, and seal the area
- Tell you whether your exhaust fan is moving enough air
Why bathrooms grow mold
Daily showers put a lot of water into a small room. If the exhaust fan is weak, vents into the attic instead of outside, or isn't used, that moisture settles on the ceiling and walls. A slow leak behind a tub surround is the other common cause, and it stays hidden until the wall softens or stains.
Questions
Can't I just bleach it?
Bleach can lighten mold on tile and grout. It doesn't fix mold that has grown into drywall or caulking, and it doesn't fix the moisture. If it keeps coming back, something behind it is wet.
Is it safe to use the bathroom during the work?
We seal the work area off. Usually the bathroom is out of use until the job is done, and we tell you how long before we start.
