Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Del Mar-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Great communication from start to finish. The mold report helped a lot with our insurance claim.
Our process

Saturated drywall, insulation, and trim that can't be dried are cut out and bagged for disposal.
Dry

Good to know
Water Damage Mold Cleanup in Del Mar, 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 Del Mar home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Del Mar 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.
Will my insurance cover water damage mold cleanup in Del Mar?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Del Mar claim moves.
Do you serve Del Mar?
Yes. We cover all of Del Mar, including Del Mar Heights, Eden Gardens, Solana Beach, and the rest of the Del Mar area. We are based in Rancho Santa Fe, about 10 minutes from our Rancho Santa Fe base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
