We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods and the rest of Laguna Beach call us.
We handle mold inspection for Laguna Beach the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
