Containment-disciplined removal with the shortcuts contractually excluded — for households in San Luis Obispo and across San Luis Obispo County, held to the sensitized-occupant standard and independently verified.
Why this matters in San Luis Obispo
Local building knowledge is the difference between finding the source and billing for a search. Here is how the San Luis Obispo housing picture shapes this work, and how matching gets it done to a written standard across San Luis Obispo County.
Coastal-valley fog pump — marine air pulls through the Los Osos gap nearly every evening. Older downtown stock on raised foundations with damp winter crawl spaces, plus student rentals with chronic ventilation deficits.
Where the work starts in San Luis Obispo
- Vented crawl-space humidity, insulation contact, and subfloor moisture gradients
- Fog-side and north-facing elevations for chronic condensation loading
- Unvented wall cavities and single-pane condensation zones in original assemblies
- Bathroom exhaust performance measured against real occupancy load
- Shower and tub assemblies past their service life
What's included
- Moisture source correction sequenced before removal
- Sealed containment with manometer-verified negative pressure
- HVAC isolation within the work zone
- Removal of contaminated porous materials beyond visible margins
- HEPA-based fine-particle cleaning of the work zone
- Chemical disclosure in writing; fragrance-free, minimal-chemistry protocols
