Pajaro Valley fog pocket with high water tables and agricultural-basin humidity. Older raised-foundation homes with wet-season crawl spaces plus dense multifamily stock carrying heavy interior moisture loads.
Where the work starts in Watsonville
- 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
- Ground-moisture entry paths in high-water-table and flood-history sections
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
- Third-party verification as the release condition for final payment
- Biocide or fogging treatments proposed instead of removal
- Encapsulation over contaminated materials
- Contractor self-clearance with no third-party verification
