After a slow leak was found behind our bathroom wall, I assumed we'd need new studs. They cleaned and treated the framing instead, checked the moisture level carefully, and explained why replacement wasn't necessary in our case.

Great communication from the first call. They tested the air, handled the removal, and rechecked the space before signing off.
Second time using them for a different property. Same great mold removal service both times.

Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in Fontana, CA: common questions
Do you always replace moldy wood framing?
No. Solid framing lumber with surface mold can usually be cleaned and treated rather than replaced. Replacement is reserved for wood that's actually soft, rotted, or structurally compromised.
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for my home?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products applied according to label instructions, and the area is ventilated as part of the drying process before anything is closed back up.
How long before framing can be closed back up?
It depends on the wood's starting moisture level and drying conditions, often a few days. We won't approve closing a wall until framing hits a safe moisture reading.
Is the wood framing mold removal you do in Fontana to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across San Bernardino County.
How can you tell if wood needs replacing versus cleaning?
We check the texture and firmness with a probe alongside moisture readings. Solid, firm wood with surface staining gets cleaned and treated; soft or spongy wood signals rot and needs structural evaluation.
Can you treat framing without removing all the drywall?
If drywall has already been removed for another reason, we'll treat exposed framing while it's accessible. We generally don't remove intact drywall solely to treat framing that isn't showing signs of a problem.
How soon can you start wood framing mold removal in Fontana?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Fontana home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Fontana?
Yes. We cover all of Fontana, including Bloomington, Rialto, Sunnyslope, and the rest of the Fontana area. We are based in Crestline, about 25 minutes from our Crestline base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
