Water Damage Restoration in Downtown San Diego, CA

In Downtown San Diego, water damage often starts in one unit or suite and quickly spreads to others. Common sources include burst supply lines in high-rises, fire sprinkler discharges, roof or window leaks during winter storms, backed-up drains in older buildings, and failures in shared mechanical rooms. Dense construction and stacked plumbing chases make it critical to address water issues fast and thoroughly.

Mold Remediation in Downtown San Diego, CA

High-rise and historic buildings in Downtown San Diego can trap moisture in wall cavities, behind tile, and around mechanical shafts. Condensation from HVAC systems, small plumbing leaks, and prior water events can all lead to mold growth—especially in interior bathrooms, shared laundry rooms, and storage areas with limited ventilation.

Our mold remediation services focus on safety, containment, and long-term prevention.

Mold-related services include:

• Thorough mold inspections and moisture source identification

• Containment and negative air setups to prevent cross-contamination between units

• Removal and disposal of contaminated drywall, insulation, and flooring as needed

• HEPA air filtration and HEPA vacuuming of affected surfaces

• Cleaning and treatment with EPA-registered antimicrobial products

• Structural drying and dehumidification to correct underlying issues

• Recommendations for ventilation, access paneling, and preventive maintenance

• Clear reporting for condominium boards, property managers, and insurers

White Glove Restoration provides comprehensive fire and smoke damage restoration to get residents and businesses back to normal as quickly and safely as possible.

Our fire and smoke services include:

• Emergency board-up and securing of windows, doors, and openings

• Inspection of structural, contents, and air-quality impacts

• Soot cleanup using dry and wet cleaning methods to protect surfaces
