"Noah scheduled an estimator to come to my house 30 minutes after my phone call. Moises came and gave me a reasonable price. He was prompt and courteous. The next day Hiram and Orge came to do the work. They were prompt and friendly. They did an excellent job removing the mold. Brian called me to keep me appraised of what they did and how long they will be leaving the dehumidifier and other drying equipment in the garage. This company is prompt, professional, and courteous and did an excellent job. I would definitely use them again."

"Quick to respond, thorough, and reasonably priced. They acted conservatively to minimize costs - when other water remediation companies wanted to rip out drywall and counters and have them replaced, they opted to dry out as much of the affected area as possible with minimal damage. In the end, all we had to do after they dried and treated the area was fix our plumbing and replace the flooring for the area."

"The tester was well versed in this area even showing the areas that were high in moisture. Very friendly and informative as well as professional. Made me comfortable with the experience she had. When the owner and maintenance worker failed she made me comfortable. Fae who had the credentials as well experience explained everything in detail. Definitely use Fae!!!"

"In the middle of having my flooring installed, we discovered that I had asbestos in my kitchen and bathroom- the flooring installers walked out of the job immediately. I had 3 companies come and give me bids. San Diego Abatement Services was the most professional and knowledgeable. They scheduled the job the day after I called. They were polite, efficient, and did exactly what they promised to do. They were not the least expensive- but my confidence in a perfect job and the safety of my home was more important. They sent me the certificate of a clean air test so I can now finish my floors!"

"The two gentlemen from Risk Free Serv were knowledgeable and professional. They worked well together and took care of my home as if it were their own. They found mold behind the bathroom vanity and kept me informed of the process as they removed the mold, vanity, and drywall. I appreciated that they didn't try to charge me for unnecessary services as some other companies did."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

The primary difference is that black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is considered toxic and more dangerous than regular mold. It can produce harmful chemicals called mycotoxins, which may lead to severe health issues like respiratory problems, skin irritation, headaches, and other long-term complications. While regular mold is rarely toxic, it can still cause allergic reactions and respiratory irritation. Visually, black mold often appears dark—green, gray, brown, or black—with a fuzzy texture, whereas regular mold can be almost any color. Black mold is less common and typically grows in areas with severe water damage. Regardless of the type, you should not ignore any mold infestation in your home.

The most common reason for a smelly dishwasher is a dirty dishwasher filter. The filter is responsible for catching food while your machine is running to prevent clogs. Over time, that filter gets more and more filled with food particles. Cleaning your dishwasher filter monthly can keep the smell at bay.

Yes, professional testing identifies mold presence and type, guiding effective remediation plans that mitigate health risks. By ensuring thorough removal and preventing recurrence, professionals help maintain indoor air quality and reduce potential health hazards.

Fiber cement siding is resistant to mold and mildew, so it won’t be as affected by these problems as something like wood siding. However, damage to your siding or improper installation can still lead to water getting behind your siding, in which case, mold can grow behind it and damage other building materials. Contact a siding repair professional if you suspect you have a leak.

No. When dry, mold enters a dormant state. While “sleeping,” the mold won’t multiply, but when it encounters moisture again, it springs back to life, releasing spores. That's why it's crucial to not only control humidity but also actively eliminate mold to prevent its resurgence and further growth inside your home.
