Residential Mold Damage Restoration Services in Chino
Local, Licensed & Insured Mold Cleanup Specialists
While there will always be a level of mold in every home, there may come a point when that level is too high. Maybe there was a recent basement flood, or a pipe burst last winter. Perhaps a sprinkler nozzle broke, and water seeped inside.
Regardless of what happened, if mold is given a dark, damp environment with organic materials, it can quickly grow into an infestation. And the tricky thing with mold is that it spreads via spores, which lay dormant until they find the right conditions to grow. Since those spores travel through the air and by catching a ride on people and pets, it doesn’t take long to create multiple mold infestations.

How Do You Know if Mold is in the House?
Fortunately, there are signs that you can watch (or smell) for that will indicate a mold infestation. You might find clusters of small spots in several colors, or thread-like white substances. Sometimes mold isn’t visible, but wallpaper is peeling, or paint is bubbling and cracking. There might be a lingering, funky, musty odor.
If you’re unsure, some of the common spots to check for mold are:
- Ceilings
- Walls
- Window sills
- Tile grout
- Vents
- Showers and tubs
- Bathroom rugs
- Toilet tanks
- Underneath sinks
- Refrigerators
- Behind stoves
- Mattresses
- Curtains
- Couches
- Indoor plants
- Fireplaces
- Attic insulation
- Water heater space
- Sump pumps
- Garages
- Water-using appliances
- HVAC ducts
It does not take long (within 24-48 hours) for mold to begin growing under the right circumstances, which is why it’s safest to call for a second opinion right away. The faster you react, the better your chances are of minimizing damage.
Is it OK to Live in a House with Mold?
Along with creating problems with the structure of your home, mold can bring issues to your health. Some types of household mold are toxic, causing serious illness or even death. Be watchful for symptoms such as:
- Sore throat
- Congestion
- Persistent fatigue
- Sinus headaches
- Wheezing
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Skin irritations
- Asthma
- Coughing
- Sneezing
Consider whether these symptoms change when you’re home versus somewhere else. If they get better when you are not home, you may have a mold problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Causes Mold Growth?
Mold growth is caused by a combination of moisture, a food source(organic matter), and warm temperatures.
- Moisture can come in the form of water damage, high humidity, or condensation
- The food source mold needs can be found in wood, paper, fibers, and dirt, and other organic materials
- The temperature needed for mold to thrive is generally between 70-90°F (21-32°C)
To prevent mold growth, it is important to quickly address any sources of moisture and keep the relative humidity at 30-50% or lower.
How long does mold remediation take?
When it comes to mold remediation, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer as to how long it will take. The timeline for mold remediation can vary greatly depending on the type and amount of mold present in the home or business. Before any remediation kicks off, typically a mold inspection is conducted by expert mold specialists like our team at ServiceMaster Recovery Services by Right where they'll collect samples and test for the presence of mold.
Based on their findings, recommendations are given on what needs to be done to contain, remove and mitigate areas affected by mold. A full assessment along with the scope of work should be completed before any project begins so that you have an understanding of how long the process will approximately take. With the right methods applied, you can achieve complete removal within two weeks - it all just depends on your individual requirements.
