About Our Catalina Foothills, AZ Water & Mold Professionals

We are an IICRC-certified restoration team in the Catalina Foothills, AZ area, and we are dually certified in both Water Damage Restoration (WRT) and Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT). This is critical. We don't just "dry" your home; we dry it with the specific goal of preventing mold growth, using scientific methods and advanced monitoring.

Why Does Mold Grow So Fast in Arizona?

It's a common myth that Arizona's "dry heat" prevents mold.

• Indoors is Different: Your home is not the desert. A water leak creates a 100% humidity-microclimate inside your walls.
• Monsoon Season: During monsoon season, the outdoor humidity is already high, which makes it even harder for wet materials to dry on their own.
• Food Source: Mold spores are already everywhere. All they need is moisture and a food source (the paper on your drywall, the fibers in your carpet).A simple leak from a washing machine can become a major mold remediation project in just three days.

How We Stop Mold from Growing

Our 24/7 water damage restoration process is designed to win the race against the 48-hour clock.

• Rapid Extraction: We get the standing water out fast.
• Advanced Drying: We don't just use fans. We use a combination of high-velocity air movers and commercial dehumidifiers. This creates a "drying vortex" that pulls moisture from the materials and captures it.
• Antimicrobial Treatment (If Needed): On areas that are at high risk, we can apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent to prevent any mold spores from taking root.
• Daily Monitoring: We use moisture meters to prove the materials are back to a "dry standard." We don't guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

• My carpet is just a little damp. Can I just use a shop vac? A shop vac only removes surface water. It cannot remove the water from the pad or subfloor. This is the #1 cause of hidden mold growth.
• How do you know when it's "dry"? We use moisture meters to compare the damp material to a known "dry" material in your home. We don't stop until the readings are back to normal.
• I already smell a "musty" odor. What does that mean? That smell is mold. It means the 48-hour window has passed, and you now have an active mold colony. You need to call for a mold inspection immediately.
• Does my insurance cover this? Yes. Your insurance requires you to mitigate damage. Calling us 24/7 to dry your home is the best way to do this. The cost of our drying service is a covered part of your water damage claim.
