Mold Remediation Services | Yuba City, Oroville, Chico CA
Mold remediation isn't cleaning—it's a technical process requiring containment, HEPA filtration, and source elimination. Our certified specialists serve Yuba City, Oroville, Chico, and Northern California with remediation that actually solves the problem, not just hides it.
The Science Behind Proper Mold Remediation
Mold reproduces through microscopic spores that become airborne when disturbed. Improper removal—like scrubbing with bleach—actually spreads contamination throughout your home via HVAC systems and air currents. Professional remediation uses negative air pressure containment and HEPA filtration to capture spores during removal, preventing spread to clean areas.

Our Certified Remediation Process
Comprehensive Inspection
Visual assessment plus moisture meters and thermal imaging reveal hidden mold. We find it all—not just the obvious growth.
Containment Construction
Poly barriers and negative air machines isolate work areas. Your unaffected rooms stay clean throughout the process.
HEPA Air Scrubbing
Commercial HEPA units run continuously, filtering air down to 0.3 microns—capturing mold spores before they spread.
Safe Removal
Contaminated materials bagged inside containment. Surfaces cleaned with HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial treatment.
Moisture Source Correction
We identify and address WHY mold grew—fixing leaks, improving ventilation, or recommending dehumidification.
Clearance Testing
Post-remediation air testing available to verify spore counts return to normal levels before project completion.
Factors Affecting Remediation Cost
Every situation is unique. Here is what determines your specific cost:
- Square footage of affected area
- Location (accessible wall vs. crawl space)
- Type of materials affected (drywall vs. studs)
- Extent of HVAC contamination
- Cause requiring repair (leak, drainage, ventilation)
- Whether clearance testing is required

Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from Northern California homeowners
Can't I just use bleach to kill the mold?
Bleach only works on non-porous surfaces and doesn't penetrate porous materials where mold roots grow. Worse, scrubbing releases millions of spores into the air, spreading contamination. Bleach also adds moisture, which feeds remaining mold. Professional methods actually remove mold—not just change its color.
How long does mold remediation take?
Small areas (under 10 sq ft) may take 1-2 days. Moderate contamination typically requires 3-5 days. Large or complex projects can take 1-2 weeks. We provide accurate timelines after inspection—and we stick to them.
Is mold remediation covered by insurance?
It depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden, covered event (burst pipe, appliance failure) is often covered. Mold from long-term neglect or maintenance issues usually isn't. We document everything to support your claim.
Should I get mold testing before remediation?
If you can see or smell mold, testing isn't necessary to start remediation—you already know there's a problem. Testing is valuable for hidden mold, post-remediation verification, or when documentation is needed for insurance or real estate.
