Mold remediation follows EPA and IICRC S520 protocols: containment, HEPA air filtration, removal of affected materials, antimicrobial treatment, and post-remediation air quality testing. Certified remediators use negative pressure containment to prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas.
San Francisco context: San Francisco faces an unusual water damage profile: the city averages 22 inches of rain annually, but atmospheric river events (Pineapple Express storms) can dump 5–10 inches in 24 hours. The 2022–2023 atmospheric river season caused hundreds of millions in damage across SF. Victorian and Edwardian buildings (1880s–1910s) have galvanized steel pipes that have exceeded their 70-year lifespan. Flat-roof Victorians on the west side accumulate standing water during storms. Fog condensation contributes to chronic moisture intrusion in older building envelopes.
