"We had what started as a small leak behind our kitchen wall in Sherman Oaks that slowly turned into both water damage and mold growth. By the time we noticed a musty smell and slight bubbling in the paint, the issue had already spread into the cabinetry and drywall. LeakSafe Homes came out quickly and immediately did a full moisture inspection. Sammy explained how trapped moisture behind walls often leads to hidden mold growth even when everything looks fine on the surface. Their team handled both the water damage restoration and mold remediation together, which made the whole process much easier for us. They set up containment, removed affected materials carefully, and used drying equipment while treating contaminated areas. Everything was documented for insurance and the rebuild came out seamless. The kitchen looks brand new again and the odor is completely gone."
"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!"
"A few months ago I used 911 certified mold testing for my home they were referred to me by my plumber. I had a great experience dealing with this company they were very professional and knowledgeable about mold testing. They were also reasonable in their pricing! I highly recommend using this company for mold testing."

"Contractor arrived promptly. Collected air samples for mold. A thorough report and analysis was provided within 7 days. The test only vendor's price was very reasonable."
"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
You normally won’t see any dust or mold actively floating out of your vent, but you might notice your vent looks dirty. Mold will cling to the sides and collect almost like black soot. Dust will look, well, dusty, but there will usually be a heavy buildup so expect thick gray layers on the bottom and sometimes the sides of the vent. If you suspect you have mold in your vents, call a professional immediately.
A mold inspection, especially in homes with a history of water damage or high humidity, is critical for maintaining a healthy living space. Mold can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems, particularly for individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems. Unchecked mold growth can lead to structural damage, resulting in costly repairs. A thorough inspection identifies visible mold and uncovers hidden sources to allow for timely remediation, preventing further damage and health risks.
Mold in air ducts releases spores into the air, which cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, or itchy eyes. Prolonged mold exposure can lead to more serious health issues, especially for those with compromised immune systems.
While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it’s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.
Although mildew is less harmful than mold, that doesn’t mean it’s safe. Breathing in even small amounts of mildew can cause serious health complications, especially in those with weakened immune systems. If you find any mildew in your home and can’t completely remove it easily (and there are elderly or sick people living there) you should call a professional right away.
