"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."

"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

Dog vomit slime mold is not toxic to humans, plants or pets. However, it can act as an allergen to people with allergies. Dog vomit slime mold is considered more of a cosmetic nuisance. However, it is beneficial to its ecosystem as it helps break down organic matter, releasing nutrients for plants.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

No, not all black mold is toxic. Although people often refer to stachybotrys chartarum as toxic black mold, there is little evidence that any one type of black mold has more toxicity than another. People who have an allergy to black mold would be more likely to have a dangerous reaction after inhaling it. Long-term exposure to black mold spores can lead to severe infection and disease. Some people only have minor health problems after black mold exposure. Ultimately, toxicity is rare with any kind of mold, but it is possible, so always take the appropriate precautions.

Eliminating mold from wood permanently poses a challenge as the mold spores have the ability to deeply penetrate the porous wood surface. While surface mold can be effectively eradicated with proper cleaning and preventative measures, it's difficult to guarantee its non-recurrence under favorable conditions. To prevent mold from reappearing, it is important to identify and resolve the root cause of the moisture that triggered mold growth initially.

Ensuring appropriate ventilation and a dry environment, or consider applying protective finishes such as sealant, varnish, or paint to prevent future moisture penetration and mold growth. Consistently inspect and maintain the area to keep the wood free from mold in the long term.

When used in the correct quantity and with the right procedures, boric acid will produce fumes with limited to no toxicity. You’re more likely to experience adverse side effects from boric acid toxicity by accidentally ingesting it or touching it with bare skin. All the same, wearing an air-filtering mask is a good way to keep even minorly toxic fumes out of your system. Don’t forget gloves, too!
