Why is mold remediation different in East County San Diego?

East County mold is rarer because the climate is dry, but when it shows up it's usually in tucked-away spots: behind built-ins, in attic dead spaces, around water heater closets. Source repair always matters most.

Should I get a mold test before remediation?

If you can see it, you don't need a test to confirm it's there, money is better spent on remediation. Tests make sense when (a) someone in the home has confirmed mold-related health issues, (b) you need documentation for a real estate or legal matter, or (c) you want a third-party clearance after remediation. We refer testing to independent industrial hygienists so there is no conflict of interest.

Is mold dangerous?

It depends on the species, the spore concentration, and the person. For most healthy adults, household mold is more of a nuisance than a threat. For young children, the elderly, anyone with asthma or immune compromise, or anyone with prolonged exposure to high spore counts, it can drive real respiratory symptoms. The IICRC stance is that visible mold should be remediated regardless of species.
