Mold and Structural Damage Restoration Services in Los Altos, California
Possible Causes of Mold and Structural Damage
Water intrusion is a leading cause of mold growth and structural damage in homes. Leaks from faulty plumbing, roof issues, or plumbing failures can introduce excessive moisture into walls, ceilings, and floors. Over time, this persistent moisture creates an ideal environment for mold to flourish, damaging the integrity of the building’s structure.
Another common cause is flooding or water backups that overwhelm drainage systems or foundation seals. When water seeps into areas that are not properly dried or managed, it can lead to persistent dampness. This damp environment not only fosters mold growth but also causes wood rot, warped materials, and compromised foundations, jeopardizing the safety of your property.

Our team begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify all sources of water intrusion and assess the extent of mold and structural damage. We utilize state-of-the-art moisture detection tools to locate hidden pockets of water and mold growth that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Once the assessment is complete, our experts implement targeted mold removal and sanitization procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of hidden water damage?
Visible mold growth, unpleasant odors, discoloration of walls or ceilings, and warped or buckling flooring are common indicators. Hidden water damage often presents behind walls or under floors, so professional inspection is recommended if you suspect an issue.
How long does mold removal typically take?
The timeline depends on the extent of the mold and damage. Minor cases may resolve in a few days, while more extensive contamination could take a week or longer. Our team provides a clear estimate after an initial assessment.
Is structural drying necessary after water damage?
Absolutely. Proper drying prevents mold growth and further structural deterioration. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to ensure all affected areas are thoroughly dried, safeguarding your property’s integrity.
Will my insurance cover mold and water damage restoration?
Many policies do include coverage for sudden water damage, but mold remediation may require specific policies or endorsements. It’s best to consult with your insurer and work with our experts to provide the necessary documentation for your claim.
How can I prevent future water damage and mold growth?
Regular maintenance, prompt repairs to leaks, and proper ventilation are crucial. Our team can also advise on waterproofing strategies to protect your property from future water intrusion and mold-related issues.
