Mold Removal in Del Dios, CA

Del Dios is a small unincorporated community on the north shore of Lake Hodges, southwest of Escondido down Del Dios Highway, where a few hundred houses sit on steep lots above the water. Many began as 1920s to 1940s fishing cabins and have been added onto for eighty years, so a single house can hold a raised-floor cabin core, a 1970s slab addition, and a 2000s second story, with the plumbing of every era still in the walls.

The lake makes the air damper than the valley above it, and the slopes send runoff through the lots in a wet January. The 2024 storms filled Hodges fast enough that the city released water through the dam, and the cabins on the shore sat in wet air for weeks. A house with three generations of pipe has three generations of places to leak.

This number puts a Del Dios household on the phone with an independent local mold provider. That provider walks the house with a meter and hands you a written scope before any cut. We arrange the call and step back.

Del Dios mold removal in lakeshore cabins and their additions

A musty smell under the oldest part of the house is mold odor removal, and the crew opens the crawl space. A plaster or drywall wall wet from a galvanized line in the cabin core is mold removal. Several rooms wet after a storm on a roof that spans three additions is whole-home mold remediation.

A 1918 dam below the houses and a county permit for the work

Hodges Dam was built in 1918 and is owned by the City of San Diego, which has held the lake below its old level since inspectors found deteriorating concrete in the dam's arches; the city's Hodges Reservoir questions and answers explain the restriction. Del Dios itself is unincorporated, so the rebuild after removal is permitted through San Diego County, and the provider carries that paperwork.
