Mold remediation
Mold needs moisture. Remove the mold without fixing the moisture and it comes back. We contain the area, remove the growth to the IICRC S520 standard and recommend independent clearance testing before anything is closed up. Serving Southern California. Call (888) 927-9770.
Signs you may have mold
Visible spots on walls, ceilings, under sinks or around windows
A musty smell that won't go away
A past leak or flood that was never fully dried
Peeling paint or warped baseboards
Our process
Find and fix the moisture source.
Contain the work area under negative air pressure so spores don't spread.
Run HEPA air filtration throughout the job.
Remove contaminated materials and clean what can be saved.
HEPA-vacuum and clean the area.
Clearance testing by an independent inspector, then rebuild.
Mold usually starts with water — see water damage restoration. Questions about insurance? See how it works.
-
Bleach can lighten mold on hard surfaces but doesn't remove growth in drywall or wood, and it adds moisture. Small spots on hard surfaces can be cleaned; larger areas need containment.
-
Color doesn't tell you the species or the risk. Any significant growth should be removed, and people with asthma, allergies or weakened immune systems should stay out of the area.

In California, visible mold is listed as a substandard housing condition (Health & Safety Code §17920.3). Tell your landlord in writing.

We recommend testing by an independent inspector, so the company removing the mold isn't the one grading its own work.
