Water Damage and Mold Remediation in Huntington Beach , CA

ServiceFirst responded to water intrusion, likely from stucco or a balcony crack, that affected multiple rooms, including the dining area, master bedroom, and hallway.

The affected materials included drywall and baseboards. We recommended necessary demolition to locate the source of the issue, mainly due to stained and swollen baseboards.

After demolition, we discovered suspicious growth behind the initial drywall removal in the family room and removed additional affected areas.

We set up containments, floor protection, and covered furniture with plastic. The drywall removal was challenging due to its location between sill plates and flooring materials.

Upon the homeowner’s request, we conducted a water test and identified leaks near sliding doors on both floors.

The homeowner signed a release of liability based on our findings of suspicious growth. Following detailed cleaning and HEPA vacuuming, we conducted a service check and confirmed dry framing, allowing us to remove equipment and leave protective materials for reconstruction.
