Rated 5 by San Diego-area neighbors
Same-day response when our basement flooded. They dried it out and removed the damaged drywall before mold could spread.
The inspector used a moisture meter and thermal camera to find hidden mold. Impressive and worth every dollar.

Good to know
Water Damage Mold Cleanup in San Diego, CA: common questions
How soon can mold grow after water damage?
Under the right conditions mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of a surface staying wet, which is why fast drying matters as much as the cleanup itself.
Will insurance cover water damage mold cleanup?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the water intrusion. We document the damage thoroughly and can work directly with your carrier.
Can I just dry it out myself with fans?
Fans can help with surface moisture, but they usually can't dry a wet wall cavity or subfloor completely, and mold can start before it's fully dry.
Do I need to leave my San Diego home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the San Diego home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you handle both the drying and the mold removal?
Yes, our crew handles moisture mapping, structural drying, and mold removal as one coordinated job instead of separate visits.
What if the water damage happened weeks ago?
Older water damage often means mold has already started behind walls or under flooring. We inspect thoroughly since the visible damage rarely matches what's hidden inside the cavity.
Is the water damage mold cleanup you do in San Diego to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across San Diego County.
Do you serve San Diego?
Yes. We cover all of San Diego, including Coronado, National City, Chula Vista, and the rest of the San Diego area. We are based in Del Mar, about 30 minutes from our Del Mar base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
