HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Travis is very knowledgeable about what it takes to eradicate mold in a structure and the steps to take to keep it from returning. He communicates in a way that I could understand with a genuine concern for a resolution to the problem. I highly recommend his services no matter what the problem, I believe he will be able to help you as well or better than other  companies out there.

- Laurie R, Hermosa Beach, CA

We were very pleased with Travis and his team.  They were fast, respectful, and very clean. We had water damage from leaks in our piping and they acted immediately to start drying out the drywall and assess the damage.  I really liked working with one company who handled all aspects of the project - water damage/drying, plumbing repairs, reconstruction, painting, etc. and billed insurance directly. I would definitely consider using them for general home construction projects - they know what they are doing and do quality work..

Fire and smoke damage is complicated and you will need an expert to evaluate the situation.

Smoke Comes in Four Basic Varieties:

  • Wet smoke is described as resulting from a low heat fire

  • Dry smoke results from a fast burning high temperature fire

  • Protein smoke has an extreme pungent odor but is virtually invisible

  • Fuel oil soot smoke results from furnace currents

Repairing fire damage requires a licensed general contractor who specializes in fire and water damage restoration. We will first target the type of smoke that has saturated your structure, which will determine the type of fire that has taken place and also to identify what type of restoration or replacement is needed.

Causes of Mold in Your Home

Mold can grow just about anywhere but is most commonly found in areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, cabinets, and near pipes or ducting areas. It only needs a few elements to grow and proliferate throughout your home, the key element being moisture.

Mold behind drywall may be one of the most common household problem areas as drywall, wood, and cotton are ideal food sources.

Ceiling mold is also highly common due to a lack of ventilation and accumulation of moisture.

If the temperature is right, there is a moisture source and enough oxygen, you can be sure mold will begin to grow and spread.

Here are 10 of the most common causes of mold in your home:

1. Persistent Humidity

If you live in an area where humidity is consistently high, you may have a problem with mold. This is only natural due to the high moisture content in the air.

This type of mold will most likely grow on walls, ceilings, in dark closets, under the kitchen sink, etc.

Water Damage Restoration in Southern California Mold caused by humidity is especially common if you live near the ocean or a large body of water and could also be worsened by a lack of ventilation.

Moisture build-up in the air indoors could massively increase mold growth, so make sure to ventilate your home well, especially in the warmer months.

2. Leaking Pipes in the Home

This is one of the most common causes of mold behind drywall and in under-sink cupboards.

Leaking pipes can also contribute to ceiling and wall mold, as a leak could be coming from the geyser or piping in your roof. If you notice a build-up of mold in any of these areas, the natural choice would be to check your piping for leaks!

3. A Leaking Roof

A roof which is partially damaged due to wear and tear or severe weather conditions can quickly lead to mold build-up in your home.

Over time, a slow leak can build-up a huge backlog of moisture in your ceiling or attic. This can eventually proliferate into mold that grows on walls and ceiling boards.

Make sure to check your attic or the tiles and facades of your ceiling for damage and potential leaks to avoid a mold problem in your home.

4. A Build-Up of Condensation

During the winter time, some homes may experience a build-up of condensation on cold surfaces due to the fluctuations in temperature.

Some of these cold surfaces include metal piping, concrete surfaces, floor tiles and even brick walls.

If you notice that condensation build-up is a real problem in your home, make sure to ventilate each room properly in order to remove the condensation.

Otherwise, these condensation pockets are prime real estate for mold spores and the proliferation of mold growth.

5. Poor Ventilation in Your Home

As we mentioned before, a poorly ventilated home is a magnet for the growth of mold and the spreading of mold spores.

The stagnant air throughout your home is one of the best environments for the growth of mold. So make sure to rid your home of it on a daily basis!

Steam created by appliances, cooking, and bathing creates humidity in your home, leaving surfaces damp and sticky.

Remove the moisture from your home and you’ll remove the likelihood of mold growth.

6. Wet and Damp Clothing

Picture this: you’ve just done a load of washing, taken it out of the washing machine, and set it aside to hang up later on. But you forget and the damp clothing sits for a full day, if not more.

Believe it or not, mold only needs 24 hours to grow and proliferate.

During the warm months of spring and summer, wet or damp clothing lying around your house can greatly contribute to an existing mold problem. So remember to hand your washing ASAP!

7. Home Flooding

Unfortunately, one of the realities you’ll face after you experience the drama of home flooding is mold growth.

Your home will typically take days, or even weeks, before it’s completely dried out after a flood, so this makes the ideal environment for mold to grow.

What’s more concerning is that this environment can also lead to the growth of dangerous, toxic mold known as Stachybotrys chartarum.

You will need to bring in a mold cleaning expert after your home has completely dried out for mold testing and a thorough inspection.

8. A Damp Basement

Due to the fact that they are below ground level, it’s only natural that a basement is exposed to higher levels of moisture.

They are also more likely to contain greater levels of humidity due to a lack of ventilation or poor circulation of air.

As such, this combination of both dampness and increased humidity will lead to the growth of mold.

Water Damage in Southern California Water leaks from your home above may also accumulate in your basement. This is why you should keep your basement well-maintained in order to prevent a dangerous mold outbreak.

9. Foundation Dampness

If the slope of your yard has been landscaped in such a way that water fails to drain away from your house, you could have a mold problem on your hands.

Rainwater and garden moisture can slowly trickle and pool around the foundations of your home, contributing to the growth of mold on walls.

A landscaping expert can help modify your yard and its slope. Alternatively, drains can be dug out to direct water away from your foundations.

10. A Leaking Air-Conditioning System

Most homes throughout the country feature an air conditioning system, which can bring with it the growth of mold

This is an allergenic type of mold which grows quickly into thick, white patches below leaking air conditioning systems or due to condensation build-up.

Make sure to check your air conditioner piping, ducting and filters to ensure there are no leaks or a build-up of moisture.

AM I RESPONSIBLE IF THE CONTRACTOR DOESN’T PULL PERMITS FOR MY PROJECT? Plan to pay for unpulled permits

 

AM I RESPONSIBLE IF THE CONTRACTOR DOESN’T PULL PERMITS FOR MY PROJECT? Plan to pay for unpulled permits 

  • Permits are usually included in a contractors bid.

  • If there are no permits pulled, the homeowner is responsible.

  • Proper permits are necessary when selling or insuring your home.

If your contractor just wrapped up a renovation project at your house and you find out that it was done without a permit, you are responsible for footing the bill. The good news is that you can file for a permit after the work is complete. Here’s a breakdown of what to do and how to remediate the situation.

What to Do if My Contractor Didn’t Get a Building Permit

Most reputable contractors include the price of permits in their bids. However, not all contractors pull permits. If your contractor didn’t get a building permit before starting construction on your home, you’re responsible for securing a permit after the fact.

For any permit pulled after the work is done, you’ll face a fine that doubles what would have been your initial cost, had the contractor pulled it before construction started. You should contact your local building and planning commission as soon as possible and explain your situation.

What to Do if the Project Is Complete

The building and planning commission will schedule an inspection to see what work your contractor completed. The inspector will only approve modifications that they can visibly see. If the project is more complex, then a visual inspection may not be sufficient. In some cases, you may even need to undo parts of the construction if it does not meet building safety standards.

The inspector must also ensure that your home meets local building codes. The inspector may ask you to provide information about the company that did the work, so they can check in and certify with the contractor what work was done. If your contractor is unresponsive, you might need to call in a reputable structural engineer near you who can evaluate the project and share any findings with the commission.

What to Do if the Project Is Ongoing

If there’s still ongoing work for your addition, you should pull those permits before the contractor completes any more work. You can have the permits checked off by the inspector for compliance as the contractor completes the project.

Do I Need permits?

What Happens if I Don’t Get the Proper Permits

Unpermitted work can potentially result in a few unfavorable scenarios that may affect the ability to sell or insure your home in the future.

Selling Your Home

If you don’t pull the proper permits, your house likely won’t pass inspection if you try to sell it. Even if you don’t intend to sell your home in the near future, it’s important to understand the consequences of unpermitted work. If you sell your home without the proper permits, the new owner could sue you for misrepresenting the property.

Insurance Complications

If you have to modify your homeowners insurance policy or change insurance companies, your insurance company could ask you for a Certificate of Occupancy. If the certificate doesn’t show structural changes that have been made, the insurance company can decline to cover the home because it is not code-compliant.

Safety Risks

There are also safety considerations to keep in mind when it comes to having work done without a permit. If your contractor did any electrical work or added any gas connections, those could represent potential fire hazards. This is why it’s important to work with a reputable contractor near you who can be relied upon to get the right permits ahead of time and ensure that the construction project is completed with every safety measure accounted for.

 

 

WHAT PERMITS DO HOMEOWNERS NEED FOR HOME ADDITIONS?

 

If you’re building a home addition, you’ll need the proper permits before you begin

 

If your house is feeling a bit too close for comfort, you might consider building a new addition onto the old homestead. But expanding the family digs is about more than lumber, nails, and sweat equity. You’re also going to need the proper permits. 

The type of permitting you’ll need, though, will depend on several factors, including your location and the kind of project you have in mind. And that means that the costs to secure the necessary building permits will vary widely

Why Building Permits Matter

We ensure that all safety procedures are carried out as required by the permits. Furthermore, construction permits ensure compliance with building codes and regulations. These codes are established to safeguard the structural integrity, fire safety, and accessibility of buildings.

 

A building permit is the official written authorization from the relevant City authority that a construction project may begin. For example, the City of Los Angeles requires a permit for any private property construction and/or alteration and in many cases even for repair work.

The size and complexity of the proposed work dictates how much information a given City will require before a requested permit will be issued. Small, straightforward projects typically require very little details while large, complex projects require fully developed plans to be reviewed and ultimately approved by the relevant authority.

Similarly, the cost for a permit is tied to the overall size of the project as it is based upon a small percentage of the total cost of the project. While some homeowners and/or contractors feel “pulling a permit” causes unnecessary delays to their project as well as increased costs, it is in their best interest to do so.

 

For instance, obtaining a building permit allows the City to confirm the proposed work to be performed is in conformance with all applicable building codes and standards. As part of that process, City inspectors will periodically visit the project site to ensure that the work is in fact being performed correctly.

For obvious reasons it is much better to discover and correct any construction related errors while work is ongoing rather than after it has been completed and/or covered up.

Additionally, should a homeowner desire to sell his or her home in the future, making sure all work was performed pursuant to a permit ensures the homeowner can maximize the value of their home. Conversely, if it is disclosed to potential buyers that there exists unpermitted work on the property that typically causes the potential buyers to provide significantly lower purchase offers. This is due to the fact that City officials can and often do require the purchaser to bring the un-permitted work commissioned by the previous homeowner “up to code”.

 

When the prior homeowner does not disclose that there was unpermitted work performed on the property and the new homeowner later discovers it such a scenario often results in expensive litigation that requires the previous homeowner to reimburse the new homeowner for all costs and fees associated with correcting the unpermitted work.

The relatively small amount saved on permit fees is typically eclipsed by the liability imposed on the prior homeowner for not having the work performed the right way the first time around.

 

It might seem like a lot of legwork to make sure you have the proper permits in place before, during, and after construction. But taking care of the permits right away can save a lot of hassle down the road. Unapproved constructions, or work completed by contractors who don’t have the proper permits, can actually decrease the value of your home.

Not only that, but because your property taxes are generally based on the value of the improvements made to the land, failure to get the appropriate permits can leave you on the hook for unpaid property taxes later on.

So, as you can see, permits can have a big impact on your finances if you ignore them. 

 

For example, if you don’t have an electrical permit on file for any electrical modifications in your home, you couldn’t collect insurance if the cause of a fire is determined to be non-permitted work. Permits help when it’s time to sell a home, since potential homebuyers will want to be sure the appropriate permits exist for any modifications or additions to the home.

Most importantly, building codes and permits are put in place for your health and safety. They set forth minimum requirements for the types and sizes of materials to be used to meet safety standards. 

These are all really important reasons why the permitting process works in your favor. If you’re hiring a contractor to build your addition, then ensuring that your builder is working with the necessary permits is a pretty great clue that they’re a legit company doing quality work. Win-win!

If you’re making significant changes to your home, you need to have permits, as well as all the proper building inspections during the process and at the project’s completion. In addition to the traditional building permit, which gives you and/or the contractor the permission to build or add onto the home, each specialty trade, such as HVAC, electrical, or plumbing, has its own permit. Before building a home addition, brush up on the required permits.

If the system seems like a confusing web of applications and inspections, you’re right. That’s why we don’t recommend doing it yourself. Keep in mind that “the one who pulls the permit is responsible for the work.” 

That means if you pull the permit yourself, or if your contractor pulls it in your name, then YOU are responsible for the work, even if you didn’t do it. This leaves lots of room for error on the contractor’s part, and some contractors may not accept responsibility for mistakes.

For that reason, you should hire an experienced, locally licensed contractor who does quality work and knows the system. The two keywords here are “experienced” and “local.” 

Just as a certified public accountant or a lawyer has to pass an exam and prove their qualifications, a properly licensed contractor has to have certain qualifications to pull a permit. These include having a master technician on the team and meeting selected screening qualifications.

Local means hiring a contractor who works frequently in your municipality. Permit and building requirements vary from town to town.

What Permits Are Required for Residential Additions?

If your house is feeling a bit cramped and you’re looking to expand your home’s footprint, you’re first going to need to get the proper clearance from your local authorities.

You’ll need to make sure you pull the proper building permits for your home addition.

Fortunately, it’s not that hard to get the go-ahead on your dream project. Permitting, above all, helps to ensure safe, legal, city code approval, quality construction—and that the addition rests entirely on your own property. (No squabbling with the neighbors over where your property line ends and theirs begins!).

Zoning

When you’re planning to add on to your home, one of the first things you’re going to need to confirm is zoning for the kind of construction you want. Some cities and municipalities, for instance, will limit the amount of square footage permitted on a single lot. Others may restrict the number of detached buildings allowed on the same parcel of land. And still others will specify that only certain types of constructions are allowed within that zone. 

So you should check with your local officials before you even begin construction to make sure your project meets your property’s zoning requirements. You might be required to purchase a zoning license to go ahead with the expansion, which will usually involve additional steps, such as site inspections to ensure that your land’s water, septic, and electrical systems can safely support the new addition. 

Plan Review

After you’ve ensured your project meets zoning requirements, you’re going to need to submit a building plan for officials to conduct a plan review. This will generally include a drawing of the proposed addition, as well as details regarding construction. Again, this is all about safety and legality. 

Inspectors consider issues such as structure, foundation, and location. They’ll want to ensure there is proper clearance between the new addition and other structures to minimize fire risk. And they’ll also want to ensure the building plan works for the addition’s intended purpose. For instance, an attached bedroom with a half-bath will need to meet different standards than a detached guest house complete with a kitchen, bathrooms, and gas heating.

Post-Construction Inspections

The permitting process doesn’t end once you’ve received clearance to start your project, though. At the very least, your town or municipality will require an inspection to ensure that the work went as planned and according to the required code, health and safety standards. Generally, this is for the safety and well-being of all citizens. .

 

Why Permitting Matters

It might seem like a lot of legwork to make sure you have the proper permits in place before, during, and after construction. But taking care of the permits right away can save a lot of hassle down the road. Unapproved constructions, or work completed by contractors who don’t have the proper permits, can actually decrease the value of your home and could possibly make you liable to repay and become engulfed in a lawsuit by the new homeowners. .

Not only that, but because your property taxes are generally based on the value of the improvements made to the land, failure to get the appropriate permits can leave you on the hook for unpaid property taxes later on.

So, as you can see, permits can have a big impact on your finances if you ignore them. For example, if you don’t have an electrical permit on file for any electrical modifications in your home, you couldn’t collect insurance if the cause of a fire is determined to be non-permitted work. Permits help when it’s time to sell a home, since potential homebuyers will want to be sure the appropriate permits exist for any modifications or additions to the home.

Most importantly, building codes and permits are put in place for your health and safety. They set forth minimum requirements for the types and sizes of materials to be used to meet safety standards. 

These are all really important reasons why the permitting process works in your favor. If you’re hiring a contractor to build your addition, then ensuring that your builder is working with the necessary permits is a pretty great clue that they’re a legit company doing quality work. Win-win!

Example: Permitting for a Kitchen Remodel

You don’t have to add on to your home or construct an entirely new building on your property to require permits, though. In some cases, even an extensive remodeling project will require permitting. 

This is especially true of kitchens and bathrooms, where the renovation may place significant demands on your gas, electrical, water, and/or plumbing systems. 

Below are some examples of the kinds of permits that might be required for an extensive kitchen remodel:

  • Structural: This is necessary if you’re making major modifications that include blowing out walls or building new ones. 

  • Electrical: Even if you’re just moving one plug or installing any new fixtures, you need an electrical permit. If you’re doing an electrical upgrade, make sure you bring everything up to current building code standards. 

  • Plumbing: If you are adding a redesigned laundry room that includes a new location for the sink, you will need a plumbing permit. 

  • Gas permit: If your new stovetop has a gas grill, you will need a gas permit to run a new gas line. If it’s electric, it will fall under the electrical permit.

  • Local permits: You will need any other permits required by your township or municipality.

Understanding Home Addition Permits

Dealing with paperwork isn’t the most exciting way to spend a weekend. But the permitting process isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s also great protection. Permits will help ensure your cozy new bedroom or inspiring detached artist’s studio is safe, solid, and inviting for years to come!

Remodeling or adding square footage to your home can be an exciting endeavor, promising to enhance your living space and potentially increase your property’s value. However, amid the enthusiasm for your home improvement project, it’s crucial not to overlook a critical aspect: building permits. In this article I delve into the importance of permits for homeowners considering property updates, exploring the reasons for obtaining permits and the key considerations in the permitting process.

Benefit of Obtaining Permits

The first question many homeowners ponder is whether they truly need permits for their remodeling or expansion projects. The answer, in most cases, is a resounding yes. Obtaining permits isn’t just a bureaucratic formality; it’s a legal requirement in many jurisdictions.

Building codes are established to ensure safety, structural integrity, and compliance with zoning regulations. By obtaining permits, homeowners demonstrate their commitment to adhering to these standards, safeguarding their investment and the well-being of their household.

Beyond legal obligations, obtaining permits is essential for several reasons. First, it ensures compliance with building codes, which are updated periodically to reflect advancements in construction practices and safety standards. By adhering to these codes, homeowners can mitigate risks and liabilities associated with substandard construction practices.

Second, obtaining permits provides legal protection. In the event of property damage, personal injury, or disputes with neighbors, having permits in place serves as tangible evidence that the remodeling or expansion was conducted in accordance with established regulations. This can help shield homeowners from potential lawsuits and liability claims.

Moreover, obtaining permits can have implications for insurance coverage. Insurance companies may require proof of permits for home improvement projects, particularly those involving structural alterations or square footage additions. Failing to obtain permits could jeopardize insurance coverage, leaving homeowners vulnerable in the event of accidents or damages.

Finally, permits can positively impact resale value. Prospective buyers are increasingly vigilant about the legality and quality of home improvements. Properties with properly permitted renovations often command higher prices and attract more discerning buyers who value transparency and compliance.

Also, buyers who are financing their purchase will be depending on a home appraisal to justify their purchase price. Non-permitted additions will not be taken into consideration by appraisers, potentially reducing the amount of financing available. This can force buyers to increase their down payment to cover the difference between the offer price and the appraised value. This may reduce the number of purchase offers and thus the final selling price.

Permits for Every Project?

While there are many projects where I would strongly advise you to apply for permits, there may be cases where the cost and effort aren’t worth it. Small home updates that aren’t dealing with structural elements can often be performed by a homeowner or a handy ma’am. Replacing kitchen cabinets or countertops, updating flooring, or installing new fixtures probably don’t warrant the effort to obtain permits.

However, any time you are contemplating any change to the footprint of your home by adding square footage, you should definitely have the work permitted to ensure you’ll receive credit from an appraiser for the addition when you go to sell your home.

Considerations in the Permitting Process

While obtaining permits is essential, navigating the permitting process can be daunting for homeowners. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:

  1. Research Local Building Codes and Regulations: Before starting your remodeling or expansion project, familiarize yourself with local building codes and zoning regulations. Each jurisdiction may have its own requirements and restrictions governing construction projects, so it’s crucial to understand the rules applicable to your area. Fortunately most cities now offer online permitting systems to make it easier to research and apply for permits. 

  2. Understand Permitting Costs and Fees: Permitting fees vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, as well as local regulations. Budgeting for these costs upfront can help avoid surprises and delays during the permitting process.

  3. Submitting a Complete and Accurate Application: When applying for permits, ensure that your application is complete and accurate. Provide detailed plans, specifications, and other required documentation to expedite the approval process and minimize the risk of rejection or delays.

  4. Timelines and Approval Process: Be aware of the timelines and approval process for permits in your jurisdiction. Some projects may require multiple rounds of review and approval, so it’s essential to factor in sufficient time for the permitting process when planning your project timeline.

  5. Inspections and Compliance Checks: Once permits are obtained, be prepared for inspections and compliance checks throughout the construction process. Building inspectors will verify that the work is being carried out according to approved plans and specifications, so ensure that your contractor is aware of these requirements.

  6. Potential Challenges and Appeals Process: In some cases, permit applications may be denied or subject to conditions that pose challenges for homeowners. Familiarize yourself with the appeals process and options for resolving disputes or addressing objections raised by regulatory authorities.

Obtaining permits is a crucial step for homeowners considering remodeling or adding square footage to their homes. Beyond meeting legal requirements, permits offer numerous benefits, including ensuring compliance with building codes, providing legal protection, enhancing resale value, and facilitating future inspections and maintenance. While navigating the permitting process may pose challenges, thorough research, careful planning, and adherence to regulatory requirements can help homeowners successfully navigate this critical aspect of home improvement projects.

WHAT IS A BUILDING PERMIT?

A building permit is authorization from a city or county giving permission to construct or build a project. Building permits are required for not only new construction projects but also renovation and remodeling projects. The building permit is put in place to allow a local jurisdiction to assess the compliance of the building and construction process based on the health and safety requirements of the applicable codes.

 

Building permits are needed in all cases for new buildings. An important thing to note is that additional permits can be required based on the scope of the complete project. These additional permits can be stormwater, electrical, plumbing, grading, and mechanical permits. 

WHAT REQUIRES A BUILDING PERMIT?

Local jurisdictions make the regulatory decisions for the areas within their boundary. Regulatory decisions include the standards and requirements, also known as the laws of the land. This basically entails that the building permit requirements for each area depending on the local building codes. California is more authoritarian regarding environmental regulations, but each municipality interprets those regulations for their specific area.

Building permits are needed in all cases for new buildings. An important thing to note is that additional permits can be required based on the scope of the complete project. These additional permits can be DRYWALL, stormwater, electrical, plumbing, grading, and mechanical permits. .

Permits Required.   No person shall erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, remove, connect, convert, demolish, or equip any building, structure, or portion thereof, or automatic fire protection system regulated by Chapter 9, perform any grading, or perform landscaping as regulated by Chapter 2.7 of Division 2 of Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations (Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance) or perform landscaping on slopes requiring planting in conformance with Section J110, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a separate permit for each such building, structure, automatic fire protection system, grading, or landscaping from the Building Official.No person shall install, connect, move, remove, or equip any mobile, homes, manufactured home, commercial modular, recreational vehicle or multifamily manufactured home subject to Sections 18300(f) or 18551 of the Health and Safety Code without first obtaining a separate permit.

Under the federal Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes health-based air quality standards that all states must achieve. The California Clean Air Act also establishes requirements for cities and counties to meet.  South Coast AQMD was created by the state legislature to facilitate compliance with the federal Clean Air Act and to implement the state air quality program.  Toward that end, South Coast AQMD develops regulations designed to achieve these public health standards by reducing emissions from business and industry.

At South Coast AQMD, a regulation is composed of rules, each of which deals with a specific topic within that regulation.  For example, Regulation II deals with permits, while Rules 201 through 221 pertain to specific types of permits, how they are granted and administered, and their impact.

South Coast AQMD staff develops rules based on control measures identified in the Air Quality Management Plan and which are designed to reduce air pollution from specific sources.  Generally, the rule-making process incorporates extensive information gathering and research into available technologies, coordination with industry groups, and analysis of the economic impact of each proposed rule or rule amendment.  South Coast AQMD provides an opportunity for public input on every proposed rule.  At public workshops and consultations, the public can voice suggestions and concerns about the impact of a proposed rule.  A final public hearing is held before the South Coast AQMD Governing Board before the Board votes on the proposed or amended rule.

In addition to developing air pollution regulations, South Coast AQMD is under a legal obligation to enforce these regulations. Air pollution regulations are primarily meant to ensure that the surrounding (or ambient) air meets federal and state air quality standards. AQMD also has broad authority to regulate toxic and hazardous air emissions, and these regulations are enforced in the same manner as those which pertain to the ambient air quality standards.  South Coast AQMD has devised a broad compliance program to provide for enforcement activities.

Mitigation team has will always perform its emergency precautions to protect all parties involved and we treat everyone equally the same including the CITY, Homeowner, TENANTS, or insurance. 

Any type of water issue or toxic mold issue can potentially adjacent drywall turning into a sponge. Its porous material quickly absorbs moisture, and wicks it up into the wall. The damp spreads behind trim, bleeds under baseboards and saturates insulation and/or can be other WETNESS AREAS issues. We don't want to take any chances. So, we have to leave the emergency machines on as long as it takes regardless if the EXTERIOR is DRY because again the INSIDE CAVITY can be WET & most of the times it is wet. The Exterior and/or Drywall isn’t load-bearing, but its condition affects surrounding infrastructure. When it becomes wet, the material turns into a breeding ground for unhealthy TOXIC mold growth. Fast-growing microbial colonies multiply quickly by releasing airborne spores.

You have to dry out wet walls as soon as possible to head off potential toxic mold problems that can spread throughout your home’s wood framing, inside interior, and/or what is needed to complete the dry out process, and/or disaster remediation process etc. Moreover, Exterior, and/or Drywall water disaster can set up an environment that breeds toxic black mold. If we do not let the Emergency dry out equipment's stay on for a long duration and/or as long as it takes then we will get blame for any future health issues by the tenants, or the customer or the future home buyers.  

• Exterior, and/or Drywall that’s been soaked for days loses its structural integrity. In many cases, water damaged drywall needs to be replaced. Our Mitigation company  handles recovery including drying procedures that must be done regardless  if the exterior is DRY in certain places. Also, material tear-out and complete restoration is standard protocol for the safety and well-being of all parties involved. Water can begin the process of saturating the inside cavity walls for a variety of reasons. Most walls feature DRYWALL, which is a highly absorbent material that counts cardboard-like paper on both the interior and exterior. When this material takes on any water, it begins to expand and may develop TOXIC mold growth. While many water damage cases are easily observable, this particular kind is hard for the untrained eye to detect.

The exterior of the materials such as the sink and/or drywall will often need the machines to begin the drying process.  The surface layer receives greater airflow, which naturally allows for saturation to dry over time. The interior, or the cavity on the other hand, can expand continuously due to the lack of airflow. This is where real damage can potentially come into place. In any event, Mitigation does not want to take any risks on any job sites by shutting down the emergency equipment drying process even if the exterior of the material is dry. Therefore, the Mitigation team leaves the emergency equipments on for a duration of time to protect the policyholder, tenants, city, and the company so we don't get blamed for any potential mold growth issues or health issues. Since we live in California where litigation is a high turnaround rate then we the Mitigation team will always work harder to make sure we protect everyone, and be more efficient in our work duties and responsibilities to protect all parties involved. In fact, even during the entire job site we leave many of the emergency equipments on such as the negative air machine for the protection of the TENANTS, and workers to have CLEAN AIR during the mitigation remediation process WHICH IS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL AND STATE LAW BY OSHA AND AQMD AGENCIES OFFICERS TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS ENDANGERED IN ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE EMERGENCY JOB SITES. 

 

FURTHERMORE, CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE

 (CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24)

 

The California Building Standards Code is a compilation of three types of building standards from three different origins:

  • Building standards that have been adopted by state agencies without change from building standards contained in national model codes;

  • Building standards that have been adopted and adapted from national model codes to address California’s ever-changing conditions; and

  • Building standards, authorized by the California legislature, that constitute amendments not covered by national model codes, that have been created and adopted to address particular California concerns.

All occupancies in California are subject to national model codes adopted into Title 24, and occupancies are further subject to amendments adopted by state agencies and ordinances implemented by local jurisdictions’ governing bodies 

The California Building Code (CBC) contains general building design and construction requirements relating to fire and life safety, structural safety, and access compliance. CBC provisions provide minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property, and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures and certain equipment. Matrix Adoption tables are provided at the beginning of every chapter in Part 2 to indicate which chapters and sections are adopted by state agencies (for application to their respective occupancies).

This 2-volume set is a fully integrated code based on the 2021 International Building Code®.

This section guides you to your local building department. There are numerous building departments in California.

According to the California Building Standards Code, no building or structure may be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has first been obtained from the building official. Permitting regulates construction and property use to ensure safe, healthy, efficient, and accessible environments for human occupancy and habitation.  California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Building Standards Code require that no building or structure may be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has been issued.  In general, improvements, replacements, and repairs require permits.

What is a Negative Air Machine? portable hepa filtration  negative air machine is very similar to an air scrubber. Like air scrubbers, negative air machines remove potentially dangerous particles from the air through a series of filters. These filters prevent employees and clients from breathing in toxins that can ultimately lead to illness. Generally, negative air machine’s are used in: Medical facilities, Construction sites, Restaurants Large warehouses and food plants where air quality testing is required.. What is the purpose of a negative air machine? Negative air machines are used to clean the air and create positive or negative air pressure in medical facilities, factories, commercial buildings, job sites, and in confined spaces with mold, asbestos, or lead. OSHA’s Requirements, OSHA’s requirements for negative air rooms must deal with HEPA negative air machines, as well as the overall awareness of dust suppression machines. To create a negative pressure room, crystalline silica dust particulates must be trapped in this enclosed area. While the airflow within the space must be taken into consideration, the quality of the airflow leaving the space must also be filtered. Using a modular containment system or a poly barrier in your healthcare facility will allow you to attach a portable air scrubber or HEPA negative air machine. These two components will allow you the assistance you need to clean the air in your negative pressure room. It is crucial to use a HEPA filter on a negative air machine due to the particulate capabilities of a HEPA filter. At Industrial Vacuum, we understand the current pandemic threats. If your hospital or healthcare facility is implementing negative pressure rooms to alleviate the internal airflow at your facility, consider using Industrial Vacuums HEPA filtration initiatives. If you haven’t considered negative pressure rooms, investigate the possibilities your facilities can unleash, and the lives you can save along the way. Our dust collectors can be equipped with HEPA filters to assist with airflow to the temporary negative pressure rooms. Protect your workers, and those they are striving to save by considering HEPA negative air machines in your negative pressure rooms. We at Industrial Vacuum Equipment are here to help and want to help

 Required by CITY & STATE GOVERNANCE CODE due has a potentially harmful mold presence There will be other mold associated with this location as usually there will be mold behind walls and under baseboards and in cavities. Any moldy areas should be immediately contained to prevent release and exposure to occupants. It appears that the mold growth is associated with water intrusion issues that area allowed moisture to penetrate the structure cavities in these areas. Industry mold remediation standards are as follows: • Any affected walls should be opened in 4-foot increments and abated until no further mold is found. • Any affected floors and ceilings should be opened in 2-foot increments and abated until no further mold is found. Note that interior of wall cavities and under cabinets in cases such as these can be expected to have “toxic” or “black” mold growths. This is because the surface mold growth is usually a lower common form of mold growth compared to those that grow in dark habitats with less air movement. Note the following information written by Dr. Mercola at http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/09/03/molds-making-you-ill.aspx. Additionally, City Code Requires Emergency Hygienist Testing Before City Officials Inspectors Enter The Property For Inspection Per Code Warning As Per Regulation 1403 SCAQMD That Hygienist Testing Clearance IS REQUIRED. 

How common is mold in buildings?

Molds are very common in buildings and homes. Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.

The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus.  We do not have precise information about how often different molds are found in buildings and homes.

How do molds get in the indoor environment and how do they grow?

Mold is found both indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, and pets can and be carried indoors. When mold spores drop on places where there is excessive moisture, such as where leakage may have occurred in roofs, pipes, walls, plant pots, or where there has been flooding, they will grow. Many building materials provide suitable nutrients that encourage mold to grow. Wet cellulose materials, including paper and paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, wood, and wood products, are particularly conducive for the growth of some molds. Other materials such as dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation materials, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery, commonly support mold growth.

How do you know if you have a mold problem?

Large mold infestations can usually be seen or smelled.

How do molds affect people?

Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects, or none at all. Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, exposure to molds can lead to symptoms such as stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Some people, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions. Severe reactions may occur among workers exposed to large amounts of molds in occupational settings, such as farmers working around moldy hay. Severe reactions may include fever and shortness of breath.

In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition.

In 2009, the World Health Organization issued additional guidance, the WHO Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality: Dampness and Mould pdf icon[PDF – 2.65 MB]external icon {Summary} pdf icon[PDF – 167 KB]. Other recent studies have suggested a potential link of early mold exposure to development of asthma in some children, particularly among children who may be genetically susceptible to asthma development, and that selected interventions that improve housing conditions can reduce morbidity from asthma and respiratory allergies.

A link between other adverse health effects, such as acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage among infants, memory loss, or lethargy, and molds, including the mold Stachybotrys chartarum  has not been proven. Further studies are needed to find out what causes acute idiopathic hemorrhage and other adverse health effects.

There is no blood test for mold.  Some physicians can do allergy testing for possible allergies to mold, but no clinically proven tests can pinpoint when or where a particular mold exposure took place.

Who is most at risk for health problems associated with exposure to mold?

People with allergies may be more sensitive to molds. People with immune suppression or underlying lung disease are more susceptible to fungal infections. Individuals with chronic respiratory disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma) may experience difficulty breathing. Individuals with immune suppression are at increased risk for infection from molds. If you or your family members have these conditions, a qualified medical clinician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment.

How do you keep mold out of buildings and homes?

Inspect buildings for evidence of water damage and visible mold as part of routine building maintenance, Correct conditions causing mold growth (e.g., water leaks, condensation, infiltration, or flooding) to prevent mold growth.

Inside your home you can control mold growth by:

·         Controlling humidity levels;

·         Promptly fixing leaky roofs, windows, and pipes;

·         Thoroughly cleaning and drying after flooding;

·         Ventilating shower, laundry, and cooking areas.

Specific Recommendations:

·         Keep humidity levels as low as you can—between 30% and 50%–all day long. An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the level low. Bear in mind that humidity levels change over the course of a day with changes in the moisture in the air and the air temperature, so you will need to check the humidity levels more than once a day.

·         Use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier during humid months.

·         Be sure your home has enough ventilation. Use exhaust fans which vent outside your home in the kitchen and bathroom. Make sure your clothes dryer vents outside your home.

·         Fix any leaks in your home’s roof, walls, or plumbing so mold does not have moisture to grow.

·         Consider not using carpet in rooms or areas like bathrooms or basements that may have a lot of moisture.

How do you get the molds out of buildings, including homes, schools, and places of employment?

Mold growing in homes and buildings indicates that there is a problem with water or moisture. This is the first problem to address.

Remove moldy items from living areas.  Once mold starts to grow in carpet, insulation, ceiling tiles, drywall, or wallboard, the only way to deal with the problem is by removal and replacement.

It is important to properly clean and dry the area as you can still have an allergic reaction to parts of the dead mold and mold contamination may recur if there is still a source of moisture.

Remove or replace carpets and upholstery that have been soaked and cannot be dried promptly.

Clean up and dry out your home thoroughly and quickly (within 24-48 hours) after any flooding.  Dig out mud and dirt .  Use a wet vacuum to remove remaining dirt. Scrub cleanable surfaces (such as wood, tile, stone) with soapy water and a bristle brush.  Thoroughly clean all hard surfaces (such as flooring, molding, wood and metal furniture, countertops, and sinks) with water and dish detergent. Dry surfaces quickly and thoroughly after cleaning. If you have a fan, air conditioner or dehumidifier that wasn’t affected by flooding use it to help the surfaces dry after you finish cleaning

Mold growth can be removed from hard surfaces with commercial products, soap and water, or a bleach solution of no more than 1 cup (8 ounces) of bleach in 1 gallon of water to kill mold on surfaces. Never mix bleach with ammonia or other household cleaners.

If you choose to use bleach to clean up mold:

·         Never mix bleach with ammonia or other household cleaners. Mixing bleach with ammonia or other cleaning products will produce dangerous, toxic fumes.

·         Open windows and doors to provide fresh air.

·         Wear non-porous gloves and protective eye wear.

·         Small areas (such as a shower, or an area the size of a door) can often be cleaned by residents, but larger areas might need more professional help.  Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using bleach or any other cleaning product.

If you have an extensive amount of mold and you do not think you can manage the cleanup on your own, you may want to contact a professional who has experience in cleaning mold in buildings and homes.

Are there any circumstances where people should vacate a home or other building because of mold?

These decisions have to be made individually. If you believe you are ill because of exposure to mold in a building, you should consult your physician to determine the appropriate action to take.

I found mold growing in my home; how do I test the mold?

If you can see or smell mold, a health risk may be present. You do not need to know the type of mold growing in your home, and CDC does not recommend or perform routine sampling for molds. No matter what type of mold is present, you should remove it. Since the effect of mold on people can vary greatly, either because of the amount or type of mold, you cannot rely on sampling and culturing to know your health risk.

A qualified environmental lab took samples of the mold in my home and gave me the results. Can CDC interpret these results?

Standards for judging what is an acceptable, tolerable or normal quantity of mold have not been established. Sampling for mold can be expensive, and standards for judging what is and what is not an acceptable quantity of mold have not been set. The best practice is to remove the mold and work to prevent future growth.  If you do decide to pay for environmental sampling for molds, before the work starts, you should ask the consultants who will do the work to establish criteria for interpreting the test results. They should tell you in advance what they will do or what recommendations they will make based on the sampling results. The results of samples taken in your unique situation cannot be interpreted without physical inspection of the contaminated area or without considering the building’s characteristics and the factors that led to the present condition.

I heard about “toxic molds” and “black molds” that grow in homes and other buildings. Should I be concerned about a serious health risk to me and my family?

There is always a little mold everywhere – in the air and on many surfaces.

Certain molds are toxigenic, meaning they can produce toxins (specifically “mycotoxins”). Hazards presented by molds that may produce mycotoxins should be considered the same as other common molds which can grow in your house. Not all fungi produce mycotoxins and even those that do will not do so under all surface or environmental conditions.

Mold growth, which often looks like spots, can be many different colors, and can smell musty.  Color is not an indication of how dangerous a mold may be.  Any mold should be removed and the moisture source that helped it grow should be removed

It is UNLAWFUL For Any Individual to Discourage Any Property Owner from Pulling City Permits For City Inspections For The Well-Being

And Safety Of The Public.
