The coastal charm of Pacific Beach, CA, comes with a catch: the local humidity and occasional moisture issues create an environment where mold loves to grow.

That is why when mold strikes, you need a trusted, local team that understands the climate and how to thoroughly fix the root cause. 

Homerun Restoration offers full-service mold remediation and mold removal for Pacific Beach and the greater San Diego area. We don’t just hide the visible signs; we get to the source to restore a safe, healthy environment.

Understanding the Dangers of Indoor Mold Growth

Mold is more than just a stain on a wall. It poses real risks to both health and property.

Health Risks

Mold releases invisible spores that carry allergens and irritants. Exposure to these spores can cause allergic reactions, especially in sensitive individuals. People often experience sneezing, runny or itchy eyes, skin rashes, and for those with asthma or respiratory conditions, mold exposure can worsen symptoms significantly. For individuals with weakened immune systems, the risks are even greater.

Property Damage

Mold feeds on organic materials such as drywall, wood, or insulation and gradually eats away at them. If left unchecked, mold infestations can impair the structural integrity of walls, ceilings, and floors and lead to costly repair and restoration work. In many cases, damage becomes visible only after substantial decay has occurred.

Key Signs You Need Professional Mold Remediation

Mold doesn’t always appear on the surface. It often grows hidden behind walls, under floors, or in attics,  so you shouldn’t wait for visible patches before acting. 

Here are tell-tale signs that professional mold inspection is needed:

• Persistent musty, damp, or earthy odors are often the first clue to hidden mold behind walls or under floors.
• Patches of discoloration on walls, ceilings, or around windows, mold may appear black, green, gray, white, or even pink, sometimes with a fuzzy or slimy texture.
• A history of water damage, such as plumbing leaks, flooding, or water intrusion. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of moisture exposure.
• Unexplained health issues,  if you or people in the property suffer from frequent allergy-like symptoms or respiratory irritation that improve when you leave the building, mold exposure might be the cause.
  

How Homerun Restoration Handles Mold Remediation

At Homerun Restoration, we follow a careful, step-by-step process designed to remove mold completely, including hidden growth, and restore your property to a healthy, livable condition.

Initial Assessment and Moisture Detection
We begin with a careful inspection of the property. Our certified technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to find the source of water intrusion and to locate even hidden mold colonies.

Containment and Air Filtration (Spore Containment)
To prevent the spread of microscopic mold spores to unaffected areas, we create containment barriers and set up air-scrubbing units with HEPA filtration. This helps improve indoor air quality and isolates the mold-infested zone.

Mold Removal and Disposal of Affected Materials

Materials that are contaminated and cannot be safely restored, such as drywall, insulation, or carpeting, are carefully removed, double-bagged, and disposed of according to industry standards. Then we apply antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to disinfect remaining surfaces.

Cleaning and Thorough Sanitization
Surfaces and salvageable contents are cleaned with HEPA vacuums and sanitizing procedures to remove fine mold particles and spores.

Post-Remediation Verification
Once cleaning and drying are complete, we coordinate air quality and surface testing to make sure spore levels meet healthy standards before rebuilding or restoring the space.

Restoration and Repair
Finally, we handle all necessary repairs or reconstruction, from replacing drywall or flooring to repainting and restoring surfaces. Our team works directly with insurance companies when needed, making the entire process smoother and stress-free.
