Residential Mold Remediation
We remove mold from attics, bathrooms, kitchens, and crawlspaces in San Luis Obispo homes. Expect polyethylene containment sheeting, negative air machines, and HEPA vacuums before any demolition. We also check insulation and vapor barriers because hidden mold growth often starts behind them.
View service 02Commercial Mold Remediation
Offices, restaurants, and rental properties in Downtown San Luis Obispo and the Railroad District need fast turnaround. We schedule after-hours work, use LGR dehumidifiers to protect inventory, and provide documentation for property managers and insurance claims. Air sampling pump results are included at clearance.
View service 03Black Mold Removal
Black mold contamination usually means Stachybotrys behind drywall or under flooring. We isolate the area with negative-pressure ducting, remove porous materials, and apply antimicrobial cleaner to framing. P100 respirator filters and full containment keep spores out of the rest of your San Luis Obispo home.
View service 04Mold Inspection
A mold inspection in San Luis Obispo starts with a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera scan of walls, ceilings, and subfloors. We look for water intrusion, condensation, and wet building materials. You get photos and a written scope the same day.
View service 05Mold Testing
We use an air sampling pump and lab analysis to identify spore types and counts before and after remediation. Testing is useful when you need proof for a landlord, buyer, or insurance adjuster in San Luis Obispo County. Results typically return in two to three business days.
View service 06HEPA Air Filtration
HEPA air scrubbers and negative air machines run continuously during removal to capture airborne spores. We size the units to the room volume, often pairing XPOWER and Abatement Technologies equipment. This keeps moldy odors and dust from spreading to unaffected rooms.

Why people choose us
Why San Luis Obispo Calls Us First
Mold work is not a cleaning job, it is a moisture-control job. We combine certified training, calibrated instruments, and local knowledge of coastal humidity to solve the cause, not just the stain. Here is what that looks like in practice.
How service works
How Our Mold Remediation Process Works
We run the same sequence on every San Luis Obispo job because skipping a step is how mold comes back. Here is what you can expect from the first call to the final clearance test.
STEP 01
Inspect and Test
We walk the property with a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera, then collect air samples with an air sampling pump. You get a written scope and photos, usually the same day.
Problems we solve
Mold Problems We Solve in San Luis Obispo
Coastal humidity and older housing stock create predictable mold problems here. We see the same handful of causes again and again, and each one has a fix that lasts longer than bleach.
Musty smell in a bedroom or hallway with no visible mold
That smell usually means hidden mold growth inside a wall cavity or under carpet. We scan with an infrared thermal camera and moisture meter, then test the air. If spores are elevated, we open the wall, contain the area, and remove the affected material.
Black mold around a bathroom window or shower stall
Condensation and poor ventilation drive this. We remove the contaminated drywall or caulk, treat framing with antimicrobial cleaner, and run a HEPA air scrubber. We also recommend a ventilation upgrade so the same corner does not grow back next winter.
Mold recurrence after a previous cleanup
Recurrence almost always means the structure was not dried to standard. We check with a hygrometer and Protimeter moisture meter, run LGR dehumidifiers until readings are normal, and verify with clearance air sampling before closing up.
Moldy odors in a rental unit and a dispute over who pays
We document everything with photos, moisture readings, and lab results. That report supports the landlord or tenant in San Luis Obispo County, and it gives both sides a clear scope of work instead of an argument.

Most San Luis Obispo mold remediation jobs run $1,800 to $4,500 for a standard project, and $5,500 to $12,000 when drywall, insulation, and flooring have to be removed and rebuilt. Inspection and testing alone is $250 to $450. Square footage, mold type, and how much material is contaminated drive the final number.
Yes. San Luis Obispo sits close enough to the coast that fog and marine air push indoor humidity above 60 percent for weeks at a time, especially in spring and fall. At that level, condensation forms on cool walls and windows, and mold can start on drywall, baseboards, and closet corners without any leak at all. A dehumidifier and better ventilation usually solve it.
A single-room job typically takes two to four days, and whole-house remediation runs five to ten days. The removal phase is often one or two days; the rest is structural drying with LGR dehumidifiers and air movers until a moisture meter shows the framing is dry. Clearance air sampling adds another two to three days for lab results.
In California, landlords must maintain rental units in a habitable condition, and that includes fixing moisture problems that cause mold. Tenants should report leaks and visible growth in writing. We document conditions with photos, moisture readings, and lab results so both sides have a clear record for San Luis Obispo County disputes.
Mold removal means taking the visible growth off a surface. Mold remediation is the whole process: finding the moisture source, containing the area with negative air, removing contaminated materials, drying the structure, and verifying with air sampling that spore counts are back to normal. Removal alone often fails because the moisture that caused the mold is still there.
