Mold grows where there is the presence of moisture, like leaks around roofs, windows, plumbing pipes, or after an area has been flooded. It can also grow on wallpaper, drywall, cardboard, ceiling tiles, upholstery, insulation, and fabric. It can also be brought into the house through air-conditioning vents, shoes, pets, and clothing. Although mold can never be 100 percent removed, it can be arrested and remediated. SERVPRO^® of Mission Valley East has years of experience dealing with mold infestations and we have the specialized training, equipment, and expertise to take care of your mold problem.

When water drips and it causes a mess, the damage can be a lot worse than it seems or then you think possible. Water can cause damage to sheetrock and insulation sometimes to the point where ceilings can fall in. 

SERVPRO of Mission Valley East knows a small flame can turn into a large fire in a matter of minutes.  Sometimes, a portable fire extinguisher is not enough to save your San Diego property and the only thing you can do is escape.  

A small flame can turn into a large fire in a matter of minutes. Lives are more important than objects, so get yourself and others out of danger.

SERVPRO of Mission Valley East can clean up damage from smoke and soot in your San Diego home.  

Smoke is a mixture of gases and small particles. The small particles are also called ash, and they include soot. Soot is the collection of particles left from incomplete burning of products that contain carbon. These products include wood and coal. Smoke and soot do not destroy materials the way fire does. They leave behind greasy films and have an unpleasant odor.

If you have a small amount of mold on a dish, you can clean it. You can even throw it away. However, if you have a large amount of mold, you need licensed mold remediation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a “large amount” as 10 square feet or more.

SERVPRO of Mission Valley East is licensed in mold remediation.

Talk to your landlord if you think he/she should hire licensed professionals. If the landlord disagrees:

• Contact the San Diego housing authority  
• Review your lease about your rights and responsibilities

SERVPRO of Mission Valley East wants to help educate others about mold: 

Mold:

• can grow almost anywhere 
• to grow, needs:
• above-freezing temperatures
• protein, such as in animal dander, skin cells, wood, plaster, carpet
• moisture
• oxygen
• grows rapidly
• damages property
• thrives in basements

SERVPRO of Mission Valley East is licensed in mold remediation.

An old poem has the line, “water, water, everywhere”. When you need to say this in your home or office, you know there is trouble. You may be looking at water damage. There are several different possible causes of water damage in San Diego.

Causes can include:

• Leaky dishwashers or washing machines
• Clogged pipes
• Leaking roofs
• Broken toilet pipes
• Heavy rain
• Snow or ice

Staying Healthy Around Standing Water in San Diego:

Standing water of any kind in San Diego can be a powerful source of disease. Floods can be worse due to the amount of water involved. Even small puddles can pose a risk. 

Different kinds of debris can be found in floodwater such as dead animals, rotted plants, and sewage, to name a few. If you have water damage inside your home, watch for debris in the home as well to include rotted food and electrical problems.

Make sure that the building or home is safe.

• Waterlogged materials are very heavy
• Wet surfaces are slippery
