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.

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.

  2. Step 2: Containment

    Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Rialto

Independent local pros provide mold removal services in Rialto and the surrounding area, including Downtown Rialto. This is a San Bernardino County city on the Lytle Creek alluvial fan at the base of the mountains, where three quarters of the housing predates 1990 and the ground is coarse wash gravel.

Housing stock

Building in Rialto clusters in the early 1980s: the median unit dates to 1982, with 76.2 percent finished before 1990. Postwar and 1970s stucco tracts on slab-on-grade, a median year of 1982, and about three quarters of the units standing before 1990.

Climate and water risk

February is the wettest month here at 4.19 inches, part of an annual 17.33 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from RIALTO 2.1 N, 1.9 miles off. February leads at 4.19 inches of a 17.33 inch year, arriving in a few Pacific storms that can drop an inch or more in a day onto the fan. Lytle Creek gravel takes that water fast and passes it under the city rather than holding it, so the problem is not saturated ground but the sheet of water that crosses the surface before it soaks in, running along slab edges on lots graded flat.

Common moisture and mold problems in Rialto

  • Storm runoff sheeting across flat-graded fan lots and along slab edges before the gravel can absorb it
  • Stucco lapped over the weep screed on 1970s tracts, trapping water behind the wall covering with no exit
  • Santa Ana wind dryness followed by Pacific storms, so parched stucco takes water fast when the rain arrives
  • Concrete patios poured against the slab, sending splash from a one-inch storm straight to the bottom plate

Frequently asked questions

The ground here drains fast. Why is the bottom of the wall wet after a storm?

Because the water reached the wall before it reached the ground. Fan gravel does absorb water quickly, but a February storm on a flat lot lays down a sheet of runoff faster than the surface can take it, and that sheet crosses the yard and rides along the slab edge. Where a patio is poured against the house, rain also splashes off the concrete onto the plate line. The wall gets wet first; the gravel gets the leftovers.

What is a weep screed and why does it keep coming up on older stucco houses?

It is the metal strip at the bottom of a stucco wall that lets water behind the stucco drain out. On many 1970s tracts the stucco was run down over it or the grade was raised above it, so water that gets behind the wall covering has nowhere to go and sits against the framing. The house looks fine from outside. The fix is at the plate line, not on the surface, which is why it gets missed.

Does the wind season have anything to do with moisture?

Indirectly. The dry wind events that come off the mountains in autumn and winter bake stucco to the point where it is fully dry and slightly porous, and the first Pacific storm after one of them lands on a wall that drinks water rather than shedding it. The same rainfall on stucco that has been sitting in normal humidity does less. Watch the first storm after a wind week, not the wettest one.
