"Cal Coast communication through the whole process was what I needed. I didnâ t know the questions I should ask. I was scared and nervous. Iâ ve never been through this before. Cal Coast took care of everything and problem solved for me throughout the whole process. Not only did he do the water mitigation and mold removal, I hired him to do the put back as well. Everything was done on time. I highly recommend them."

"First, we decided to have Hafa Adai perform pest control services because they answered our request in a timely manner and had a very competitive price. Second, they had excellent reviews. When Vincent contacted us, he provided the information we needed, understood what our issues were, and was very timly in delivering the service. Once here, he surveyed the situation where we had ants inside our house, mostly in the kitchen and bathrooms. He determined that he needed to treat the outside first. In doing so, he found five (5) ant nests/collonies around our perimeter and treated those and the entire outside. He used ant traps on the inside. Since treating for ants, we've been free of these insects and the issues we had on the inside. Vincent's professional service was the answer."

"We were getting our house ready to put on the market when we found mold in the crawl space and one of the closets. MacCraft came out the same day we called— Alex walked us through exactly what needed to happen, gave us an estimate, and got it handled. They documented everything so we had paperwork to show buyers. House passed inspection without any issues. Highly recommend them"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Yes, if there is mold in your drywall mud and you then use it to build walls in your house—or if mold develops in your set drywall, like it can in hot and humid areas—it can lead to illness. Mold in your drywall (or other parts of your home) can make existing respiratory conditions or allergies worse, and the effect can be more intense for those who have existing health issues or compromised immune systems.

Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth after water damage is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.

You’ve stored your coats away all summer long, but now that the temperatures drop, you notice they smell weird as you pull them from storage. What’s the deal? If your clothes smell weird after you stored them, they may have been in a moist, dark environment for several weeks or months. This environment is ideal for mildew growth, which can make clothes smell musty.

Telling the difference between poisonous and nonpoisonous mushrooms is difficult even for trained mushroom experts and biologists! However, nature provides some red flags for poisonous mushrooms. Assume that any mushroom with a red cap or stem is poisonous. You should also assume mushrooms with white gills, rings, skirts, or a sack-like base are poisonous. 

Mold is not guaranteed to grow on wet drywall, but the risk increases significantly the longer the material remains wet. Mold and mildew can begin to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours, especially in optimal conditions, which include moist, dark places with temperatures between 77 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If the drywall is too wet to dry within that timeframe, mold can grow and spread. In any instance of water damage, it is wise to get a mold inspection to be certain that none has taken up residence in your home.
