Mold Remediation & Mold Removal in Berkeley, CA

Berkeley’s brown-shingle and Craftsman homes, many over a century old, often sit on raised foundations with crawl spaces, and fog from the Golden Gate reaches the hills on many mornings.

Anderson Group International’s mold remediation team serves Berkeley homes and businesses, finding the moisture behind the mold and removing it safely. Call 1-800-994-7575, 24/7.

Why Mold Grows in Berkeley Homes

Mold here almost always follows a leak. A slow drip under a sink, a roof leak from last winter or a damp crawl space can grow mold for weeks before anyone sees it.

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 Berkeley

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

Testimonial

Trusted by millions of Customers

The Lead Technician and support Technician that came out the previous two days at another job in the complex were extremely impressive with their skills and the communication in front of the homeowner. I am very impressed.

He made the process run very smoothly, and as I said, he checked in on us during the process to make sure that we were happy with the services we were receiving. Additionally, he made sure that the mold levels were testing at normal levels and made suggestions that eased my mind and helped us learn how to avoid future issues. I would definitely recommend him and AGI.
