The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.

Our process
Our flood & storm mold cleanup process in San Marcos, CA
Inspect
We assess how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room.
Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.
Remove
Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to normal moisture levels.
Verify
We confirm dryness and treat remaining surfaces before the job is complete.
