Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Mold is one of the scariest words a landlord or tenant can hear. And we get it, having the mold remediation experience that we do, we understand why mold in San Diego is so scary. The first thing you want to know is if you think you have mold, you probably do. It has a specific, musty odor, and it can grow on belongings due to living conditions, or it can be the result of known or unknown water damage. SERVPRO of San Diego City SW has over two decades of experience in mold remediation, not counting the combined years of experience that our owners and our technicians have.  We've handled everything from minor and small mold remediation due to a leak, to major mold remediation in government buildings where the project lasted for 6 months.  When you have a minor or major mold cleanup need in San Diego, call SERVPRO of San Diego City SW at 619-269-5004.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
