"We came home to a burst pipe in our Encino bathroom that flooded part of the hallway and seeped into the walls. At first it looked like a straightforward water damage restoration job, but once LeakSafe Homes opened the affected areas, they discovered mold had already started forming behind the drywall. Robert took over the project and immediately explained how quickly mold can develop after a water event if moisture isn?t fully removed. Their team handled both mitigation and remediation at the same time, using HEPA filtration, containment barriers, and controlled demolition. They also kept us updated daily with moisture readings and progress reports. What impressed us most was how smoothly they transitioned into reconstruction afterward. Everything from drywall to paint and flooring was rebuilt with precision, and the home feels completely restored."
"I used this company for mold testing at my house. They came the same day! They were very professional, checked everything right away gave me good results for the next step. Would definitely recommend them for any mold inspection!"

"This is my first time leaving a review for a company as I've never felt the need to, but using Pacific Environmental I feel I should share with my home owners. My husband and I bought out first home which we love but a room had acoustic ceiling. I reach out to PEAS, which everyone in the office was very helpful and patient on guiding me through this experience. Their scheduling was amazing as I was dealing with Closing Escrow and moving my family in. Once they arrived, they informed me on the scope of work and what they would be doing and what to expect, this being my 8-year-old son room so I was a bit worried on hazardous material that was being removed and used. CONTAINMENT WAS AMAZING! I was so happy and felt so safe on how they kept the area and the protection they took to take care of my family and themselves. My kids thought the crew looked pretty cool too, haha. CLEANING WAS AMAZING! Work was conducted upstairs and they went the extra mile and cleaned everything they touched, I really appreciate that, as it again made me feel secure and safe. PEAS left a memorial memory our kids still talk about. I strongly recommend them and would use them again."
Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts
Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.
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.
Certainly, DIY mold tests are not perfect when trying to determine whether you have a mold problem. They could give you a false positive reading, or they may fail to detect mold that’s behind a wall, especially if the infestation is still small. Ultimately, you should seek a mold inspection if the DIY test gives you a positive result, just to be certain. And if the test is inconclusive, it’s probably worth seeking an inspection from a pro.
Some of the signs that could mean your water is contaminated, such as cloudiness or bubbliness, could also be non-problems that don’t affect your water’s potability. However, if your water smells or tastes strange, it’s a good idea to stop drinking it and test it immediately. If your well water is contaminated, the best way to discover that is to test it.
Yes, mold on wood furniture can be dangerous, especially if it is identified as black mold. Inhaling spores or touching mold can make some people sick with respiratory issues, skin rashes, and eye irritation. However, some people have mild or no symptoms after exposure to mold. If you are going to clean mold off wood furniture, you should wear protective equipment to avoid direct exposure.
