Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step
Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.
-
Step 1: Assessment
An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.
-
Step 2: Containment
Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Glendale
Independent local pros take mold removal work across Glendale, from the middle out to Sparr Heights, North Glendale, and Rancho San Rafael. The Verdugos dump debris-flow fans onto the valley floor, and February storms after a burn year push mud against 1960s slabs that were never detailed for a hillside.
Housing stock
Only 15.6 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1966. Stucco on slabs and short crawlspaces, median 1966, stacked from the Civic Center flats up onto the Verdugo fans so the uphill wall is a dam against colluvium.
Climate and water risk
The nearest long-term record — GLENDALE 2.4 WSW, 2.9 miles out — puts the annual normal at 16.74 inches, with February heaviest at 4.98. February's 4.98 inches is a winter burst that the fans concentrate. After a fire the same storm arrives as mud; in ordinary years it sheets off the Verdugos onto pads that have no stem wall. The flats then take street flow the fans already overloaded.
Common moisture and mold problems in Glendale
- Verdugo debris-flow fans delivering February water and, after a burn, mud against 1960s slabs
- Houses cut into the fans retaining saturated colluvium on the uphill wall after every winter burst
- Stucco lapped down over the weep screed on 1960s tract work, so what gets behind it has no way back out
- Valley-floor streets taking concentrated runoff from the fans so downhill garages pond

Frequently asked questions
The hill did not slide. Why is there mud against the slab anyway?
Fans deliver sheet and rill, not only a named slide. February rain on a steep Verdugo face concentrates in the same chutes every year. After a burn the load is mud; in a green year it is still water with fines. A pad at the chute mouth was built in a path, whether or not the last storm made the news.
We sit in the Civic Center flats, not on the fan. Is the Verdugo still involved?
As the source of the water in the street, yes. Fan runoff has to cross the flats to leave. A garage that ponds on a flat lot may be taking a hillside's February, not its own roof. Look upslope of the drain inlet, not only at the downspout.
A 1966 stucco slab on the fan. Was it detailed for this?
Rarely. That vintage often has no stem wall and no uphill drain. The plate sits at splash height, and the buried face holds colluvium. Interior paint will not stop a fan. The fix is the uphill drain and the plate height, not a new coat.
