Mold Remediation

What We Handle

Bleach on the surface doesn't remediate mold — containment, filtration, removal and moisture-source correction do. We follow IICRC S520 industry protocols and support independent clearance testing, because verification shouldn't come from the company that did the work.

Remediation Done Right

  • Visual inspection & moisture investigation
  • Containment barriers & negative air pressure
  • HEPA air filtration & scrubbing
  • Safe removal of mold-affected materials
  • Antimicrobial cleaning & treatment
  • Third-party clearance testing coordination

Fix the Cause, Rebuild the Space

  • Leak & moisture-source repair
  • Plumbing failure & slab leak coordination
  • Ventilation & humidity correction
  • Crawlspace & attic mold response
  • Drywall, insulation & flooring replacement
  • Full repair under our GC license
The FirstHour Difference

Cleanup Crew and Rebuild Contractor — Same Company

Because FirstHour is a division of SSD Constructors, Inc. (CSLB #1135692, Class A & B), the crew that mitigates the damage belongs to the licensed general contractor that rebuilds it. One scope, one schedule, one company accountable from the emergency call to the final walkthrough.

Common Questions

Straight Answers

Is mold dangerous?

Mold can aggravate allergies and respiratory conditions, and some people are far more sensitive than others. Beyond health, active growth steadily damages drywall, framing and finishes — the fix grows the longer it waits.

Why can't I just spray it with bleach?

Surface treatment doesn't address growth inside porous materials or the moisture feeding it, and disturbing colonies without containment spreads spores through the house. Proper remediation is containment, HEPA filtration, removal and source repair.

Do you do the mold testing too?

We coordinate independent third-party testing for clearance. Keeping verification separate from remediation protects you — the company that did the work shouldn't grade it.

Does insurance cover mold remediation?

It depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden covered water loss is often covered (frequently with policy limits); long-term neglect typically isn't. We document the moisture source thoroughly — exactly what determines coverage.
