Yes, our team regularly works in older structures, including Victorian homes and multi-unit buildings in neighborhoods like the Castro, Nob Hill, and Pacific Heights. Mold in these buildings often results from leaky pipes or poor ventilation. We follow IICRC protocols to contain the mold, remove affected materials, and treat surfaces to prevent recurrence. Our service is thorough, and we work with your insurance to ensure coverage. For example, after a sewage backup or flood damage, we address both the water and mold issues in one comprehensive process.

Sewage backups from heavy rain or river flooding are biohazard emergencies requiring immediate, professional cleanup.

After drying, we treat surfaces to eliminate pathogens and odors. Since we work with all major insurance companies, we help document the damage for your claim. Our 30-minute response time is critical to minimize health risks and structural damage.
