Valencia, CA Mold Damage Remediation
Whether it is the Santa Clarita Valley Medical Plaza or the residences of our more than 63,000 residents, mold damage is a fast-forming and destructive situation. We have effective remediation procedures to overcome damage and structural deterioration after prolonged mold exposures in Los Angeles County area homes and businesses.
What Mold Removal Strategies Work Best in Valencia Properties?
Choosing the right remediation strategies often comes from thorough mold inspections detailing the affected materials and the severity of the damage. Surface cleaning is among the initial options and can remove colonies that have yet to seat more deeply into the hosting materials. Some of the mold removal options we use are:
- Antimicrobial cleaning
- Surface sanding
- Media blasting
- Demolition
- Mold removal products
- Black mold damage repairs
Is Containment Always Helpful?
Containment is a crucial element of the mold removal process because this limits the movement and migration of active mold spores. Remediation is more efficient without other accessible hosting materials. We erect physical barriers featuring polypropylene plastic sheeting to stop spore movement.
Keeping Mold from Growing Again in Valencia Homes
One of the essential aspects of our mold remediation services is working to protect the household from further damage. Mold can grow under any moist conditions, so our team and general contractor license allow for multiple repairs and restoration services that overcome structural vulnerabilities and stop water penetration.

Understanding Mold
Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process
Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:
Step 1: Emergency Contact - (661) 724-4591
We’re available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer your phone call. Our consultant will guide you through this process, asking questions that will allow us to better understand your situation and to determine the needed equipment and personnel.
Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.
Step 3: Mold Containment
To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Valencia, CA home or business. Also, we’ll turn off the property’s fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.
Step 4: Air Filtration
We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
Depending on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces involved, the mold remediation process can vary significantly. In general, we’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may need to remove drywall, carpeting, and other porous materials.
Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing
SERVPRO of Santa Clarita Valley will use a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Since mold infestations also cause a persistent musty odor, our professionals are also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.
Step 7: Restoration
During the remediation process, it’s often necessary to remove porous building materials like subfloors, drywall, and carpet. The restoration step returns your Valencia, CA home or business back to normal. Depending on the severity of mold damage, the restoration step may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, or it may involve a substantial reconstruction project.
