Mould contamination is the uncontrolled growth of mould on surfaces and in the air of a building. In commercial and industrial settings, the surfaces to be treated are larger, centralized HVAC systems spread spores throughout the entire building, and the employer has a legal obligation to maintain a healthy work environment under the CNESST.
Mould develops as soon as a moisture source, a favourable temperature and organic matter come together. In commercial environments, common causes of mould contamination include:
Building basements, industrial attics and mechanical rooms are particularly vulnerable areas for mould growth. Regular ventilation duct cleaning helps limit the spread of spores through HVAC systems.
Several indicators may signal a mould problem in a commercial building:
Mould can also grow invisibly behind drywall, inside ventilation ducts or under floor coverings. A professional assessment with indoor air quality testing is often necessary to determine the extent of the contamination.
Our certified specialists assess the situation and provide a complete diagnosis compliant with the IICRC S520 standard.
SDC offers a full range of mould decontamination services for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, in compliance with the IICRC S520 standard and the guidelines of the INSPQ, BNQ and Health Canada.
Thorough diagnosis compliant with the IICRC S520 standard: visual inspection, moisture readings (moisture meter, hygrometer), thermal imaging (thermographic camera), air and surface sampling sent to an independent MELCCFP-accredited laboratory (ISO 17025). Identification of mould species, contamination level assessment and detailed report with personalized recommendations.
Our mould decontamination service ensures the complete elimination of mould and the prevention of its recurrence. The intervention includes:
Safe removal of contaminated porous materials (drywall, insulation, carpets, gypsum board). Treatment of semi-porous materials (plywood, wood) by brushing or sanding under controlled conditions. In certain cases, dry ice cleaning allows a non-abrasive treatment of delicate surfaces. Management and disposal of contaminated waste in compliance with provincial and federal regulations.
Following water damage or a disaster, rapid intervention prevents mould growth. Drying of affected areas using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, followed by a complete disinfection compliant with the IICRC S520 standard. This service is often combined with our disaster cleanup expertise for comprehensive damage management.
Mould produces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible for musty odours. We use ozone and hydroxyl generators to destroy these molecules at the source. HEPA vacuuming and specialized dusting for the elimination of spore-laden dust. For environments requiring complete remediation, our disinfection service completes the intervention.
Every project carried out by SDC follows a structured process designed to guarantee measurable results and full regulatory compliance.
Our mould decontamination service covers Montreal and all its boroughs, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Saint-Hubert, Boucherville, Terrebonne, Repentigny and Blainville. South Shore, North Shore or downtown — our team travels quickly for a free estimate.
Centralized HVAC systems spread mould spores throughout the entire building if contamination is not addressed. We intervene discreetly to minimize disruptions to operations and downtime. High-level dusting can be performed as a complement for spaces with high ceilings.
Large surface areas, condensation on metal structures, high humidity and hard-to-reach areas: our industrial-grade equipment and ability to manage large-scale projects set us apart from residential companies. For industrial environments, high-pressure cleaning can complement mould decontamination on exterior surfaces and structures.
Mould decontamination in institutional settings requires enhanced protocols due to vulnerable populations (patients, children, elderly). SDC has the institutional credibility and certifications necessary to meet the requirements of the public and parapublic sectors.
Founded in 1983, SDC is a pioneer in specialized decontamination work in Quebec. Decades of experience and thousands of projects completed in the most demanding commercial, industrial and institutional environments. See our completed projects to discover our work.

The IICRC S520 standard is the international benchmark for mould contamination remediation. It defines the protocols for assessment, containment, treatment and post-work verification, contamination levels (small, medium, large area), required protection measures and measurable success criteria through laboratory air analysis.
Inhaling airborne spores in contaminated air can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, asthma, mucous membrane irritation, headaches and chronic fatigue. Immunocompromised individuals, children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable. Considering that workers spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality has a direct impact on occupant health and productivity.
Black, green or white stains, musty odour, excessive condensation, water marks and recurring symptoms among occupants (allergies, respiratory problems, irritations). Mould can be hidden behind walls or inside ventilation ducts — a professional inspection is essential.
The cost varies depending on the extent of the contaminated area, the type of materials affected, accessibility and project complexity. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your situation.
Health Canada, the INSPQ and the CMHC strongly recommend a qualified specialist as soon as the contaminated area exceeds 1 m². For areas greater than 10 m², a specialized team with negative air pressure containment is required. In the workplace, the CNESST requires the employer to protect worker health.
A competent contractor should follow the IICRC S520 standard, hold an RBQ licence and have ASP Construction trained personnel. SDC stands out with a triple ISO certification (9001, 14001, 45001), offering a superior level of quality and safety.
The presence of mould and asbestos in the same building is common, especially in buildings constructed before 1990. SDC also offers a complete asbestos decontamination service compliant with current standards, allowing integrated management of both contaminants.
