Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Lake Arrowhead-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Fast response when we discovered mold in the attic. Remediation was done in two days and the air test came back clean.

Mold Clearance Testing is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around Lake Arrowhead. Older and newer homes alike need Mold Clearance Testing, from the newer builds near Muscoy to the oldest ones in town. For a home in this area, mold clearance testing starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold.

Around here, mold clearance testing tends to settle into the areas that were just remediated before anyone in the house notices it.
