At Desa Contracting & Restoration, we’re more than just a mold cleanup company, we’re your neighbors, here to protect your home and your health. Our mission is simple: deliver high-quality service with honest communication, fast response times, and a personal touch. Mold problems can be stressful and overwhelming, and we’re here to make the process easier from start to finish.
Mold is sneaky. It hides behind walls, under floors, and in the air you breathe, often without any obvious signs until it becomes a big issue. That’s where we come in. Whether it’s from water damage, humidity, or long-term leaks, mold can lead to poor indoor air quality and potential health concerns. It’s especially important to act quickly if you’re seeing stains, smelling something musty, or experiencing allergy-like symptoms at home.
We’ve seen how quickly mold can spread, and we know how important it is to stop it in its tracks. That’s why our team is trained to detect mold wherever it hides, even in places you might not think to look.
Mold removal is a delicate process. It’s not just about cleaning a spot on the wall, it’s about removing all visible growth while addressing the root cause of the issue. At Desa Contracting & Restoration, our process starts with a thorough assessment. We determine the extent of the problem, identify moisture sources, and create a customized plan based on your property’s specific needs.
Once we’ve contained the affected areas, we use specialized equipment and industry-standard techniques to safely remove the mold and prevent it from coming back. Throughout the process, we monitor the environment to make sure your home is safe, dry, and mold-free.
Mold remediation is more than just surface cleaning; it’s about fully restoring your environment. After the removal process, we go a step further. We treat affected surfaces, replace materials when necessary, and work to improve indoor air quality. If left unchecked, even small issues can turn into major repairs. That’s why we’re big believers in doing the job right the first time.
We also take the time to walk you through every step of the project, so you always know what’s happening and why. Transparency is a big part of how we work, and we’re always happy to answer questions or explain what we’re doing.
Whether you’re a homeowner dealing with a bathroom leak or a property manager facing widespread mold issues in an apartment complex, we’ve got you covered. We work with both residential and commercial clients across the area. No job is too small, and no situation is too complex. From basements and attics to office spaces and schools, we’ve handled it all.
What sets us apart? It’s our people, our process, and our passion for what we do. We treat every home or building like it’s our own, and we never cut corners. Our team is certified, experienced, and always up to date with the latest industry guidelines for mold remediation.

First things first, you’ll want to stop that water flow, if you can do so safely. That might mean closing your main water valve or calling in the professionals for assistance if it’s unsafe.

If you notice a musty smell, visible dark spots on walls or ceilings, or are experiencing unexplained allergy symptoms, you might have a mold problem. Even if you don’t see it, mold can grow behind drywall, under flooring, or in your HVAC system. We offer professional inspections to detect hidden mold.
Mold removal involves eliminating visible mold growth, while mold remediation includes locating the source, stopping the spread, cleaning the air, and restoring the area. At Desa, we handle both to ensure a complete, long-lasting solution.
Bleach only removes surface mold and doesn’t address what’s hiding behind the walls or in the air. DIY cleaning can actually spread mold spores. It’s best to leave mold removal to certified professionals like us who use safe, proven methods.
Not if the moisture issue is fixed and the job is done right. Our team doesn’t just remove mold. We find and repair the source, whether it’s a leak or humidity problem, to help prevent future growth.

Toronto, Ontario is Canada’s largest city and one of the most diverse in the world. With a population of nearly three million, it’s the financial and cultural engine of the country. Skyscrapers dominate the skyline, with the iconic CN Tower standing tall as a symbol of the city. But Toronto isn’t just about business; it’s a city of neighborhoods, each with its own flavor. Kensington Market offers an edgy, creative vibe. The Distillery District blends art and history. Scarborough brings a rich mix of immigrant cultures.
You’ll hear over 180 languages spoken on Toronto’s streets. This diversity shapes everything from food to festivals to politics. The city’s multiculturalism isn’t a slogan; it’s a lived experience. You can eat Trinidadian doubles for breakfast, Korean BBQ for lunch, and Ethiopian injera for dinner, all on the same block.
Toronto is also a major hub for film, tech, and education. It’s home to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where major films premiere each year. Universities like U of T attract top talent globally. Startups thrive alongside industry giants.
The city’s not perfect, traffic is rough, rent is high, and winters bite, but it keeps moving forward. There’s a constant tension here: old vs. new, tradition vs. change, ambition vs. affordability. But that’s part of what makes Toronto feel alive.

Building remediation or restoration work is a specialized, refurbishment measure for building structures with flaws. These measures are often undertaken when there are serious structural and/or water damage.
Sadly, the answer is no. Even if they assert their qualifications, mold removal is a highly specialized, potentially dangerous line of work that calls for years of specialized training and experience. That said, mold remediation demands someone who is knowledgeable about the precise methods that must be followed because it is a highly specialized trade. Most general contractors are unaware of a set of industry-standard rules that exist when dealing with mold. If not done properly, it can reoccur, leading to air contamination, which poses a greater risk to your health. Thus, when dealing with mold, it’s always best to hire a professional in the field to ensure the safety of your home and your health
Buildings experience tremendous wear and tear as they age, including staining, deterioration of the concrete, damage to the base, salt crystallization, and even microbiological growth from bacteria and fungi. Even with routine annual maintenance, exposure to the elements and other environmental conditions will cause significant building deterioration over time. That does not, however, automatically imply that the structure must be demolished. If you have a sentimental attachment to the building, it may just require minor foundation repairs, cleaning, patching, and painting to restore it while preserving its gorgeous original architecture.
Emergency restoration services are known for dealing with the aftermath of disaster-related water damage, including flood, fire, smoke, SEWAGE Cleanup, MOLD Removal, asbestos, and other, and restoring these items with a qualified team
Depending on the type of building construction or restoration materials used, the frequency with which your building may need to be waterproofed will vary. That said, a silicone-based sealant typically lasts 15 to 20 years before needing to be waterproofed or caulked again. Urethane-based sealants, on the other hand, only last up to 10 years before any repairs are required.
In this case, the recommended answer is no, because it is safer, more reliable, and more visually appealing to remove the failing caulking before re-caulking. Furthermore, damaged, broken, and worn-out caulking won’t give the top layer of new caulking a stable surface to set on. Therefore, the material will likely be more prone to cracking over time. That said, before sealing the gap correctly, it’s important that you remove the old layer of caulk first.
Yes. Brick walls can be waterproofed. Brick is strong and resilient, yet it is still susceptible to dampness and water damage.
The simplest way to identify and stop water intrusion problems is to do routine inspections of your building’s waterproofing systems, notably the caulking and sealants. In all kinds of structures, water intrusion problems are most often caused by inadequate caulking. It is recommended to inspect your building exterior every year after the winter.
