Mold Removal in Pollock Pines, CA

Pollock Pines sits close to 4,000 feet on Highway 50, in the cedars and pines above Camino, and a good share of its houses are older cabins and A-frames on sloped lots. Snow slides off those steep roofs and piles against the uphill wall, where it melts into the siding and the crawl space all winter. An A-frame loft with a musty smell in April usually means the roof deck has been damp since the first big storm.

The town has been emptied twice in seven years. The King Fire started near Pollock Pines on September 13, 2014 and burned 97,717 acres and 80 structures. The Caldor Fire put the town under mandatory evacuation in August 2021, part of about 23,000 county residents ordered out. Houses sprayed down and then locked for weeks came back with damp carpet pad the fire never touched. Call us and we hand the address to an independent provider who works the Pollock Pines grade; they walk the place and write the scope.

A-frame lofts and the snow that sits on them

A loft ceiling is also the roof, so wet sheathing there is a job for attic mold remediation even when there is no attic in the usual sense. When a frozen line splits in a cabin nobody visited for six weeks, the water reaches every room downhill of the break, and whole-home mold remediation is the honest name for that job. A dark patch under a cabin window is handled through black mold removal; the color does not change the steps, but the cold wall behind it usually explains the source.

Jenkinson Lake, the reservoir behind Sly Park Recreation Area, is where El Dorado Irrigation District stores the water that runs through its Reservoir A plant here in town before it reaches your tap. A slow leak on district water shows up on the bill before it shows on the wall, so if the meter keeps turning with every faucet off, find the wet spot and take a photo. CEDAPP, the local economic development group, has seen the town patch itself back together after each fire, and a house repaired in a hurry can get closed up before the framing has dried.

Phone (209) 764-2249 and say if the cabin was empty when the water got in. The answer tells the provider how many walls to meter.
