We recently completed a mold remediation project in Palos Verdes, Walnut Creek, CA, which was discovered during a sewage cleanup. During the process, a concerned neighbor asked if their property was at risk of exposure to any contamination.

We want to reassure everyone that when mold remediation is done professionally, there’s no risk to neighboring properties. Here’s why:

1. Strict Containment Measures: During the remediation process, we seal off the affected area using specialized containment barriers to prevent mold spores or contaminants from spreading beyond the work zone.

2. High-Quality Equipment: HEPA air filtration systems are used to capture airborne particles during the cleanup, ensuring the air is clean and safe.

3. Proper Disposal Practices: All contaminated materials are carefully removed, sealed, and disposed of according to strict safety protocols. Nothing leaves the property uncontained.

4. Localized Issue: Mold doesn’t travel between properties unless there’s direct water intrusion or shared structural vulnerabilities. Since the issue was isolated to one property, there’s no risk to neighboring homes.

At Swift Restoration, we prioritize safety and thoroughness in every project, ensuring that both the property we’re working on and the surrounding areas remain protected.

If you ever have concerns about your property, don’t hesitate to ask! We’re always happy to provide clarity and peace of mind.
