Have a Mold Problem?
It was a wet winter here on the Central Coast…
In the past SERVPRO of Santa Cruz has received calls for Mold Inspections and Mold Remediation well into the summer months following a wet winter. This is for a combination of reasons.
- At times a roof leak caused water intrusion. The homeowner calls a roofing company to tarp the roof until repairs can be made. The tarp gets compromised by the ongoing rains and wind and additional intrusion occurs. If this is the case call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz to inspect your attic for water damage and mold contamination.
- It could also be that an intrusion occurred but the homeowner is unaware because there is no visible staining. As the weather warms up musty odors occur. These type odors are an indication that mold contamination may be lurking inside structural cavities and voids. If you are detecting musty odors, call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz to perform an inspection of suspect areas.
- We also receive post winter calls inquiring about visible mold around window trim and casings. SERVPRO of Santa Cruz can remove the old window and remove mold contamination from the structure around the window. Then we would install new windows and you will be ready for next winter.
These are a few of the many scenarios that can affect your home during winter time rains. If you suspect that your home sustained water and mold damage, call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz at (831) 457-1997 to perform an inspection.
What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.

Commercial Mold Remediation
Mold can enter your business in a variety of ways. Once spotted, it’s important you contact a cleanup and restoration company like SERVPRO as soon as possible. Given its ability to spread in 72 hours or less, and the possibility of allergens and irritants that may cause health effects as a result, time is of the essence when mold spreads in your business or commercial property.
We understand the urgency of returning your business to functioning condition, given that every hour of closed business is an hour of lost production and revenue. Take the necessary steps to help protect your customers, employees, and the health of your business by having our team assess and remediate any mold damage that may have grown in your commercial space.
What our
customers are saying
Vince & his entire team were professional, courteous, knowledgeable & extremely helpful throughout the entire repair.
All of our questions were handled quickly & thoroughly. Truly couldn't ask for a better experience during a stressful home repair.
We spent about a month with this team working through water damage, asbestos abatement & mold removal.
SERVPRO handled every step including pack-out & HAZ MAT testing and managed to keep us on top of every step of the process.
I had bought a cool vintage dresser that came from a smoker's house and after many months of airing it out, the cigarette smoke smell still lingered. Dropped it off at SERVPRO where it spent some time in their ozonater and just picked it up yesterday. No more smoke smell!
We had a leak in our bathroom that started the night of the lightning storms that sparked the CZU fires. SERVPRO was on the job quickly and very diligent in checking their equipment every day and adjusting things to dry out the bathroom and adjoining bedroom carpet, hallway hardwood floors, and drywall in 3 different rooms. They were easy to work with when we had to evacuate, and back on the job when we returned.
Thanks SERVPRO for making a difficult time a little easier!
These guys are quick, responsive, organized, and affordable. We had a fire in a large plastic container on a construction site (in a very large enclosed room) that caused sticky sooty smoke throughout the space (in the rafters, on half-built framing -- everywhere). SERVPRO knew what to do and took care of the clean up immediately. They wiped down every surface (including all the nooks and crannies) with special chemical sponges that took care of a nasty problem. We were VERY impressed.
SERVPRO was amazing - we had extensive damage caused by a leaky water line to the ice maker in our fridge (replacing plastic water line with stainless steel going forward!)
They were professional, super responsive, very supportive and understanding during a difficult clean up period (water damage and mold).
Would definitely recommend them for any water damage/mold abatement needs!
Best service ever! Local people, local business! SERVPRO came to the rescue over Thanksgiving weekend when we had a minor disaster at our house. Spent five hours on the phone trying to get someone to respond when I suddenly thought of calling SERVPRO. They were incredibly prompt, courteous, professional & so well equipped to deal with the situation! We were so grateful & highly recommend them!

I manage some apartments for my family in the Santa Clara area.
Several weeks ago we had a water leak late on a Saturday night and I needed help right away to get the damage under control and get the place dried out.
This was not an easy task, the tenant was a bit of a hoarder and it was a very difficult job to work on.
From Beginning to end the staff at SERVPRO were courteous, professional and just got the job done.
They helped with all the insurance company paperwork and helped me to get the place dried out and cleaned up.
I would recommend them for any size fire or water damage clean up.
All members of your business are very professional, courteous, responsible, and did an excellent service and repair. Many thanks for your business and prompt service.
