We noticed a stain on the bedroom ceiling after a hailstorm and it turned out mold had already gotten into the attic insulation above it. The team removed the wet insulation and treated the framing before we had the roof repaired.

Rated 4.9 by Laguna Beach-area neighbors
We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
They found black mold behind our bathroom wall and had it removed the same week. Clean, fast, and professional.
Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Laguna Beach, CA
Inspect
We check the attic, roof decking, and ceiling drywall to trace how far the water actually traveled.
Contain
We seal off the ceiling or attic access point before disturbing any mold-affected material.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are removed and bagged for disposal.
Dry
We dry the attic space and ceiling cavity fully, since trapped moisture in insulation dries slowly.

We confirm the space reads dry and treat remaining framing before closing out the job.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Laguna Beach, CA: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or soft spongy drywall are signs mold may have developed behind a roof leak stain.
Can I wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?
It's better to have the moisture assessed as soon as you notice it. Waiting gives mold more time to spread through insulation and framing.
Does insurance cover mold from a roof leak?
It depends on your policy and the cause of the leak. We document the damage thoroughly, which helps if you file a claim.
Do I need to leave my Laguna Beach home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Laguna Beach home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you go into the attic to check for mold?
Yes, we inspect the attic space, insulation, and roof decking since that's usually where roof leak moisture starts before it reaches the ceiling.
Will you replace my insulation?
We remove and dispose of insulation that's saturated or mold-affected as part of remediation. Reinsulating is typically handled alongside your roof repair.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold after roof 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 Beach home.

Yes. We cover all of Laguna Beach, including Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods, and the rest of the Laguna Beach area. We are based in Corona Del Mar, about 10 minutes from our Corona Del Mar base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
