Why Mold Grows in Atherton Homes

Shaded, wooded lots stay damp long after the rain stops. Crawl spaces, basements, north-facing walls and roofs under heavy tree cover are where mold takes hold.

Signs You May Have Mold

  • Stains or spots that come back after cleaning
  • Condensation on windows and cold walls, or damp-feeling carpet
  • A musty odor when the heat or air conditioning turns on
  • Bubbling paint or wallpaper on exterior walls and near showers

When to Call a Professional

Small spots of surface mold under about 10 square feet, the EPA’s guideline, can usually be cleaned by a homeowner. Larger areas, hidden mold, mold in HVAC systems or mold after contaminated water need professional containment and removal.

Our Mold Remediation Process in Atherton

  1. Inspection: We find the mold and the moisture source behind it, using moisture meters to see how far it has spread.
  2. Containment: Plastic barriers and negative air pressure keep spores from reaching the rest of the property.
  3. Removal: Mold-damaged drywall, insulation and flooring are removed and bagged, and remaining surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. Drying: We dry the structure so mold can’t return.
  5. Repairs: Our construction team can rebuild what was removed.

Because mold almost always starts with water, fixing the source comes first. If a leak or flood caused it, our water damage restoration team can dry the property before mold removal begins. Learn more about our mold remediation and mold removal services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mold testing necessary?

If you can see mold, testing usually isn’t needed to decide that it should be removed. Testing can help when you smell mold but can’t find it, or to confirm an area is clean after remediation.

Is mold dangerous to my family?

Mold can cause allergy-like symptoms such as sneezing, a stuffy nose and itchy eyes, and it can trigger asthma. People with asthma, allergies or weakened immune systems are most at risk and should avoid cleaning mold themselves.
