Not all water damage is obvious. Hidden moisture from poor drainage, leaks, or foundation issues can create the perfect conditions for mold growth.

Effective water damage restoration starts by identifying and correcting the source of the moisture. From there, we coordinate trusted water damage repair and restore your indoor environment using proven mold remediation protocols.

At Purified Environments, we provide complete solutions throughout Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties—helping you solve the problem at its source, not just treat the symptoms.

It is not hopeless!

If you’re dealing with water damage, we’re here to help.

Through our trusted network of Central Coast contractor partners, we provide complete solutions for both water damage restoration and the mold that often follows.

Truth: Air-drying the affected space is not an efficient dry-out method, nor does it address the cause of the water damage, which is the first and most important step towards restoring healthy indoor air quality. NORMI recommends commencing dry-out within forty-eight hours of the incident, and to complete the process within seven days. Air-drying also will not prevent mold growth, which already begins to proliferate within that forty-eight hour window! Proper water extraction, drying, and dehumidification are essential for effective restoration.

Truth: Put one or two box fans and residential-scale dehumidifiers will not be fast enough to solve the problem in time. We use numerous industrial models in our dry-out process to get the job done right! And still, these machines still do nothing to sanitize the space from mold and bacteria that have already taken root.

Truth: If you have water damage, you now also have a mold problem – even if you never have before. Mold spores are in the air everywhere, indoors and outside. You are probably breathing some in as you read this! Water damage saturates fibrous building materials like studs and drywall, creating a perfect environment for mold to grow. As mold grows, it makes more spores. That’s not a big problem outside, where unlimited airflow can disperse them. But indoors, mold spores and mycotoxins may saturate your air and could lead to serious health problems. Decontamination is critical to the water remediation process!
