Mould abatement, air scrubbing, environmental reclamation
This team usually does commercial work and my project was residential. I didn't have a good experience with this team. Lack of clear communication and problems with timing, problems with budgeting were main issues experienced. At the end of the day, a 90-day contract took almost seven months to complete and although I hope to never have to go through the same process again on any project, if I did, I will search for other service providers.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $24,000.00
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Open communication, provide logical timelines.
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- You get what you pay for. Just because quotes may come in lower, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of every contractor before choosing to sign on the dotted line.

I was one of the contractors that worked on this house and mold was the least of the problem. This house is located in the community of Sherwood and was at the time, a condemned marijuana grow op, and a very large one at that. Not only were holes cut through the foundation wall but also through the floor going from the basement straight up into the attic. This house was never busted while in operation. It was only after the growers moved on and left the house abandoned and damaged and the rent checks stopped coming in did the owner finally clue in that something was wrong. The project took longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances that has nothing to do with Disaster Services Calgary. The house was subsequently condemned by the city and the Alberta Health Services and Disaster Services Calgary successfully restored it.
