Service Areas
Have a Mold Problem?
It was a wet winter here on the Central Coast…
In the past SERVPRO of Santa Cruz has received calls for Mold Inspections and Mold Remediation well into the summer months following a wet winter. This is for a combination of reasons.
- At times a roof leak caused water intrusion. The homeowner calls a roofing company to tarp the roof until repairs can be made. The tarp gets compromised by the ongoing rains and wind and additional intrusion occurs. If this is the case call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz to inspect your attic for water damage and mold contamination.
- It could also be that an intrusion occurred but the homeowner is unaware because there is no visible staining. As the weather warms up musty odors occur. These type odors are an indication that mold contamination may be lurking inside structural cavities and voids. If you are detecting musty odors, call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz to perform an inspection of suspect areas.
- We also receive post winter calls inquiring about visible mold around window trim and casings. SERVPRO of Santa Cruz can remove the old window and remove mold contamination from the structure around the window. Then we would install new windows and you will be ready for next winter.
These are a few of the many scenarios that can affect your home during winter time rains. If you suspect that your home sustained water and mold damage, call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz at (831) 457-1997 to perform an inspection.
What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.

What our
customers are saying
" I was very pleased with SERVPRO of Santa Cruz. . A very trustworthy company with knowledge of their profession. 5 stars!”
I manage some apartments for my family in the Santa Cruz area. Several weeks ago we had a water leak late on a Saturday night and I needed help right away to get the damage under control and get the place dried out.
This was not an easy task, the tenant was a bit of a hoarder and it was a very difficult job to work on.
From Beginning to end the staff at SERVPRO of Santa Cruz were courteous, professional and just got the job done. They helped with all the insurance company paperwork and helped me to get the place dried out and cleaned up. The foreman was particularly helpful. I would recommend them for any size fire or water damage clean up.
SERVPRO of Santa Clara is on our prefered vendors list for the whole hotel portfolio we manage, no question.
Every person I have ever been in contact with at SERVPRO of Santa Cruz is polite, professinal, patient and competent. Your techs are fabulous! Special shout out to Fedrico, Silvano and Matt! Thank You we will call again!
Phone call from our customer to our admin, "he was VERY impressed with our production staff. He told me that Mark who came the first day was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was happy that he chose SERVPRO to help him. I thanked him for his kind words."
Vince & his entire team were professional, courteous, knowledgeable & extremely helpful throughout the entire repair.
All of our questions were handled quickly & thoroughly. Truly couldn't ask for a better experience during a stressful home repair.
We spent about a month with this team working through water damage, asbestos abatement & mold removal.
SERVPRO handled every step including pack-out & HAZ MAT testing and managed to keep us on top of every step of the process.
Being far from Capitola made it difficult to keep informed. Tony & Vince were great at explain things to us by phone and keeping us posted in general, but I'd love more communication/information to be available about the job on a web portal. Pictures, work performed, recommendations, etc. would be very helpful.
We are so glad our friend recommended SERVPRO and are so grateful that you jumped on the job almost immediately and were professional, thorough and helpful throughout. Thank you for everything.
"Everything was easy to get scheduled and the office staff was friendly and easy to work with. Thank you SERVPRO of Santa Cruz!"
Thank you to the tech Tony K for all the hard work and professionalism, and thank you to the pack out team for all their hard work! Thank you SERVPRO!
