We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 5 by Oak Glen-area neighbors
The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Oak Glen, CA homes
Mold Inspection in Oak Glen tends to start the same way mold does across San Bernardino County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Forest Falls, North Bench, Mountain Home Village and the rest of Oak Glen call us.
We handle mold inspection for Oak Glen the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Calimesa, about 10 minutes from our Calimesa base, so we can usually reach a Oak Glen home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
