Contamination travelling through shared stacks
Black mold removal
in Ajax.
In Ajax's townhome blocks a plumbing failure in a shared stack can leave established growth in more than one unit before anyone reports it. ASM inspects the adjoining assemblies rather than only the reported unit, because remediating one side of a shared wall accomplishes very little.
Dark-coloured mold should be handled according to the extent of growth and the affected material, not colour alone. ASM contains the area, removes contamination and addresses moisture conditions so the remediation solves more than the visible surface problem.

Local property context
Ajax buildings
need a local eye.
Ajax housing ranges from established neighbourhoods near the lake to newer inland subdivisions and townhomes. Wind exposure, roof ventilation, grading and shared plumbing assemblies can all influence where moisture appears.
