We are leaders in mold remediation services in Orange County.

Our local Buena Park team is trained and certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification to remediate mold damage in homes and commercial businesses. Mold is often a symptom of water damage, manifesting in the form of a hidden water leak, or other excess moisture issue.

Symptoms of a hidden mold outbreak in a home can manifest in various ways. For instance, individuals may experience persistent respiratory problems such as coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing, particularly in enclosed spaces or specific areas of the house. Allergic reactions like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin irritation may occur, especially when spending time in the affected areas.

Visually, signs of mold may not always be evident as it tends to thrive in damp, dark, and secluded spaces like behind walls, under flooring, or within air ducts. Strong, musty or earthy odors might hint at hidden moisture and microbial growth. Additionally, discoloration or staining on surfaces such as walls, ceilings, or carpets could indicate the presence of mold.

Given the potential for structural damage associated with mold, it's crucial to address any suspicions promptly. Professional mold inspection and remediation services can locate the source of hidden mold colonies, and repair any excess moisture or water leaks that may be causing the mold to thrive.
