On the job
Mold remediation work in Lucerne Valley homes
Storm season flooding risks for Lucerne Valley
Seasonal rain and thunderstorms in San Bernardino County can overwhelm drainage, sending water toward home foundations.
Basements and crawl spaces below grade are vulnerable, and mold can begin on damp materials within a day or two.
For independent guidance on mold, moisture, and safe cleanup, see EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home and CDC: Mold and health.
- Spring spring rain and runoff pooling against foundation walls
- Heavy summer thunderstorms overwhelming gutters and downspouts
- Window well flooding into basement living space
- Sump pump failure during a storm event
How flood water changes the cleanup approach
Storm water is classified as Category 3, carrying soil and contaminants, which dictates the removal of soaked materials.
Materials like drywall or carpet padding that absorb flood water are removed rather than dried in place.
- Porous materials removed rather than dried when contamination risk is present
- Hard surfaces cleaned and disinfected before drying
- Personal belongings assessed separately for salvage potential
The importance of a rapid response after a storm
The window to prevent mold after flooding is short, especially in warmer areas of a home.
A prompt response from a Lucerne Valley crew can limit the extent of material replacement needed after water intrusion.
- Call as soon as it is safe to do so, even before water fully recedes
- Move salvageable items off wet flooring if you can do it safely
- Leave the HVAC system off until ductwork that took on water is inspected
Insurance coordination for storm related damage
For insurance claims, the remediation process includes documentation with photos and moisture logs for your carrier.
After the job
After the job: keeping it from coming back
