Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Laguna Hills-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
They found black mold behind our bathroom wall and had it removed the same week. Clean, fast, and professional.

Good to know
Mold After Plumbing Leak in Laguna Hills, CA: common questions
How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs mold has started after a leak.
Can mold grow from a leak I already fixed?
Yes, if the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, mold can already be established even though the leak itself is resolved.
How long does mold after a plumbing leak take to remediate?
It depends on how far the moisture traveled, but most single-fixture leaks are contained and dried within a few days once we start.
Do I need to leave my Laguna Hills home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Laguna Hills home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Should I fix the leak myself before calling?
If you can safely shut off water to the fixture, that helps limit further damage, but leave the moldy material alone and let us assess it before cleanup begins.
Do you work with my plumber?
We coordinate with plumbers regularly so the leak repair and the mold remediation happen in the right order.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold after plumbing leak?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Laguna Hills home.
