Our process

Inspect
We assess how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room.
Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.
Remove
Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to normal moisture levels.

Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Laguna Woods, CA: common questions
How fast should I call after a flood?
As soon as it's safe. Mold risk climbs quickly once materials stay wet, so the sooner cleanup starts, the more of the structure can typically be saved.
Can I stay in my home during flood mold cleanup?
It depends on how much of the home was affected. We'll walk you through what areas need to be closed off during the work.
Will my homeowners policy cover storm-related mold?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
How soon can you start flood & storm mold cleanup in Laguna Woods?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Laguna Woods home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.

Yes, spring runoff and spring rain flooding into basements and crawl spaces is common in Corona Del Mar and we handle it regularly.
