Mold Removal in a Brea, CA Home

Mold Removal in a Brea, CA Home

A water heater had begun to leak in a Brea, CA home that was occupied by tenants.  The property owner was concerned for the health of his tenants because he knew the risks of living in an area that was contaminated by mold.  Because the water had leaked through into the house, they were afraid that mold might be growing there as well.

To determine if mold was present, the tenants asked the homeowner to have the property tested by an Industrial Environmental Professional (IEP).  They performed a microbial sampling and results determined there was indeed mold present.  The IEP performed their inspection and found visible signs of moisture penetration, growing mold, and a malodor that was consistent with wet materials.  The water coming from the water heater was flooding into an adjacent bedroom and causing mold to grow.  

At this point, it was necessary to have a professional perform a mold remediation in the home.  When SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea arrived, the tenant brought up concerns of cross contamination and wanted to be sure that the mold spores were contained and would not spread to the rest of the house.  We assured them this would not happen.  He then explained in detail the mold remediation process and assured the tenants that the affected areas would be isolated.  The tenant was very pleased with our professionalism and ability to perform the mold removal in a timely and efficient manner.  The property owner was thankful and content that we were able to work so well with his tenant and the tenants are now breathing safely in a mold-free home.
