FAQs

• After we are given a positive mold test by a separate, independent testing company, these are done on our behalf for the owner, or the owner has performed an inspection.
• First, we determine as much as possible the extent of the mold and then the cause of mold, which may be from window leaks, stucco waterproofing, a leaky pipe in the wall, or any exterior or interior water issues.
• Whatever those issues are, we have the technology to be able to determine the extent of the damage and the remediation process, which we call a protocol.
• We determine that there is mold.  Otherwise, open drywall.  We remove the water damage and the mold.
• After removing the mold damage, we do mold remediation.  Remediate and clean the mold while everything is open and clean.  We can then do whatever testing there is that we need.

• Testing includes water testing for the plumbing, which we either handle or work with a plumber to handle, and then the plumber does the repair.
• Or, if it’s a waterproofing issue, we can do water testing on the exterior and envelope for the building and find out where the water intrusion it comes from.

While we do not handle plumbing issues, we can refer you to a great plumber. Once the plumbing issue is fixed, we can continue with our mold remediation process.

So, waterproofing issues, whatever that is, on the foundation, the side walls, the stucco around the windows, flashings, or sheet metal, we help resolve and handle all waterproofing issues.

• We offer roof waterproofing on everything but tile roofs. However, if you have a tile roof, we can still determine the site of the leak, and connect you with a roofer.

Yes, once the remediation is complete, we do restoration. This includes putting back up the drywall.

We do, only if the owner wishes to do a remodel.  Otherwise, use their restoration contracts.  Otherwise, we bring in a restoration contractor from our sister company.

• We offer a maintenance program for our clients.  We put together a list of maintenance checklists together with the maintenance programs so that clients know exactly how long that the sealant work or other work should last, and then have a proactive approach to checking the maintenance in those issues in a timely basis so that they don’t get caught in a bad rainstorm or weather/other climate situation where they’re not prepared.
• We outline exactly what needs to be re-sealed around the windows, paint, some windows’ stucco, repaint or re-seal, whatever option is needed on the house. This is the same for deck coatings and when to reseal the deck, or if there’s tile on the deck, re-sealing grout.
• In addition, there is no deferred maintenance.  Everything must be maintained in California because of the sun, the ultraviolet of the sun, the weather patterns, and the extreme weather temperatures.  For that reason, we do a detailed list of what you need to be aware of in your house.
• There is no set-it-and-just-forget-it-forever.  Even though we use the highest-quality materials, you must keep an eye on your house structure to make sure that if there’s any maintenance needed, it’s done so before any weather conditioning starts.

When in doubt, send us a picture or an image of the area.  We can give you feedback and send out an estimate!

We come in using an infrared camera and do water testing on the outside of the building. We open up the joint and materials and fill it with a 100% silicone-based material with a primer, then 100% silicone spray. New technologies dry in 30 to 45 minutes staying flexible in the joint. We install a bridge coating, that’s fine. The third step is an elastomeric primer, paint to match the home, paint.

So, once we’ve installed the four layers, it’s four to five layers, we put a fifth or sixth layer on. Do not put the name GE or any other specific materials or manufacturers up there whatsoever. We use products by selected high-end manufacturers only.
