After a slow leak was found behind our bathroom wall, I assumed we'd need new studs. They cleaned and treated the framing instead, checked the moisture level carefully, and explained why replacement wasn't necessary in our case.

The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in San Jacinto, CA: common questions
Do you always replace moldy wood framing?
No. Solid framing lumber with surface mold can usually be cleaned and treated rather than replaced. Replacement is reserved for wood that's actually soft, rotted, or structurally compromised.
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for my home?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products applied according to label instructions, and the area is ventilated as part of the drying process before anything is closed back up.
How long before framing can be closed back up?
It depends on the wood's starting moisture level and drying conditions, often a few days. We won't approve closing a wall until framing hits a safe moisture reading.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after wood framing mold removal?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a San Jacinto home.
How can you tell if wood needs replacing versus cleaning?
We check the texture and firmness with a probe alongside moisture readings. Solid, firm wood with surface staining gets cleaned and treated; soft or spongy wood signals rot and needs structural evaluation.
Can you treat framing without removing all the drywall?
If drywall has already been removed for another reason, we'll treat exposed framing while it's accessible. We generally don't remove intact drywall solely to treat framing that isn't showing signs of a problem.
How soon can you start wood framing mold removal in San Jacinto?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a San Jacinto home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve San Jacinto?
Yes. We cover all of San Jacinto, including Hemet, East Hemet, Valle Vista, and the rest of the San Jacinto area. We are based in Idyllwild, about 25 minutes from our Idyllwild base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
