Air sampling, surface testing, moisture mapping, and thermal imaging. Find the mold you can't see. Detailed report with remediation recommendations.
A search for "mold assessment" usually turns up store-bought fixes. In San Francisco, fog moisture typically means the moisture is behind a wall or under a floor, past the reach of anything you can spray on. That's the gap between a "mold inspection" and actual mold testing.
A licensed pro handling this in San Francisco follows EPA guidelines and IICRC S520 standards: a thorough inspection first, then a plan built around what's actually causing the moisture, not a one-size-fits-all fix.
Victorian and Edwardian homes built before 1920 still carry original galvanized plumbing in many cases, and their raised foundations create crawlspaces that hold onto the city's near-constant fog moisture.
San Francisco's most relevant risk factor for this service is fog moisture. The city's famous fog keeps ambient humidity high year-round regardless of rainfall totals, and neighborhoods built on reclaimed marshland or bay fill (parts of the Marina and SoMa) sit on ground with a naturally higher water table.
Moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air quality testing, with a specific eye on fog moisture given how common it is in San Francisco.
Negative air pressure barriers prevent spore spread to occupied spaces, which matters more in San Francisco given 70% average humidity holding moisture in the air longer after containment goes up.
Contaminated materials removed and surfaces cleaned with EPA-approved agents. San Francisco jobs also commonly turn up old Victorian plumbing once the affected materials come out.
HEPA air scrubbers capture airborne spores throughout the process, running in homes across Mission District, SoMa, Marina District and the rest of San Francisco just the same.
Damaged materials repaired or replaced. In San Francisco, that also means addressing the underlying cause: the city's famous fog keeps ambient humidity high year-round regardless of rainfall totals, and neighborhoods built on reclaimed marshland or bay fill (parts of the Marina and SoMa) sit on ground with a naturally higher water table.
