Discovering mold on a wall, behind stored items, or near an old plumbing repair can be unsettling. It often raises immediate concerns about health, safety, and the condition of the building itself. Mold does not appear randomly. It grows where moisture lingers, feeds on organic materials, and can quietly spread when the underlying cause remains unresolved. In San Fernando and across Los Angeles County, even small water issues can escalate when left untreated.

Our Mold Inspection and Removal Process
Mold remediation feels far less overwhelming when you know what to expect. We follow a structured process that prioritizes safety, moisture control, and clear communication.
- Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a free inspection, starting with a conversation about your concerns and any known leaks or past water events. Our team performs a visual evaluation, checks for staining or odors, and uses moisture detection tools to locate damp materials. When conditions warrant it, we discuss mold testing and explain how results may guide next steps. - Containment, Removal, and Cleaning
After identifying the scope of the problem, we outline a remediation plan in straightforward language. Containment barriers and negative air pressure systems are installed when needed to prevent spores from spreading. Air filtration equipment runs throughout the process. Unsalvageable materials are removed safely, while remaining surfaces are cleaned using methods appropriate for the material and contamination level. - Drying, Verification, and Documentation
Drying plays a critical role in preventing mold from returning. We use professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture from affected materials and monitor conditions until proper levels are reached. Once work is complete, we conduct a walkthrough, provide documentation for your records and insurer, and discuss any recommended repairs or preventive measures.
Common Mold Issues in San Fernando Properties
Working locally allows us to recognize patterns specific to San Fernando and surrounding communities. Many mold problems originate from slow leaks under sinks, aging plumbing lines, roof issues after storms, or residual moisture from earlier water damage.
In homes and apartment buildings, mold frequently appears behind bathroom tile, beneath kitchen cabinets, around water heaters, and in closets that share plumbing walls. Commercial properties often experience issues in storage areas, older HVAC systems, or spaces previously affected by fire sprinklers or flooding.
Southern California’s dry climate punctuated by heavy rain events creates unique challenges. Flat roofs, clogged gutters, and brief but intense storms can introduce moisture that remains trapped inside walls or ceilings. Wildfire seasons also contribute when water used during firefighting or sprinkler activation leaves structures damp. Our proximity to the properties we serve helps us identify these risks quickly and focus inspections where problems most often begin.
What to Do When You Find Mold or Water Damage
Finding mold or moisture can create urgency and uncertainty. A few practical steps can help limit further damage before professional help arrives.
Avoid disturbing visible mold. Scraping or scrubbing without proper containment can release spores into the air. If there is an active leak and it is safe to do so, shutting off the water supply can reduce additional damage. Taking photos or videos of visible mold, water stains, or standing water can support insurance documentation later.
Limit time spent in heavily affected areas, especially for children, older adults, or anyone with respiratory conditions. When you contact Core Restore, we discuss your situation, explain what to expect, and schedule a free inspection as quickly as possible. Because our team operates locally, we can often respond promptly and begin stabilizing conditions.
Insurance, Permits, and Full Restoration Support
Mold rarely exists in isolation. It often follows water damage, storms, plumbing failures, or fire-related events. In addition to mold removal, projects may involve drying, repairs, content cleaning, and coordination with insurers or local authorities.
We work with all insurance companies and provide detailed estimates, moisture readings, photographs, and reports to support claims. While coverage depends on individual policies, we supply clear technical documentation to help adjusters understand the situation. When permits are required for larger repairs, we manage applications and coordination with local departments so you do not have to navigate that process alone.
Our restoration services extend beyond mold remediation to include water damage restoration, smoke and soot cleanup, sewage cleanup, storm recovery, and reconstruction. We also offer packing, cleaning, and storage for contents during restoration. Throughout the process, leadership remains involved to maintain clear communication and consistent quality.
