Containment & negative air
Plastic barriers with zipper doors and negative air machines keep air flowing into the work area, never out of it.

Mold in a bathroom, under a sink or behind a wall? Our Irvine crew contains it, removes it and fixes the cause.

Mold Remediation, Orange County
Mold in Orange County almost always traces back to water you can't see: a shower valve leaking inside the wall, a slow drain under the sink, a slab leak under the flooring or a bathroom near the beach that never fully dries. Spraying it or painting over it doesn't fix any of those.
We start by finding the moisture with meters and thermal imaging, then seal the work area under negative air, remove the moldy materials, HEPA clean and treat the framing and dry it before rebuilding. For rentals and condos, we schedule with tenants and keep the HOA in the loop.
Scrubbing or spraying mold can send spores through the house. Book an inspection and we will plan the removal properly.

Orange County mold
It isn't humidity alone. Most of the mold we remove here has a specific water source behind it.
In Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, the morning marine layer keeps bathrooms and closets on exterior walls damp. Without a working exhaust fan, mold returns in the grout and drywall.
Pinhole slab leaks in older tracts feed mold under carpet pad and behind baseboards long before anyone smells it.
Property managers in Irvine, Santa Ana and Costa Mesa call us for tenant complaints. We document the source and the work so owners, tenants and the HOA see the same record.

Mold grows where moisture sits, and that is usually inside walls, ceilings and crawl spaces. This video shows how our crews find it and remove it safely.

Killing the mold you can see doesn't stop the mold you can't. Here's how we take it out for good.
Moisture meters and thermal imaging show where the water is and how far the growth has spread.
We trace the leak or moisture feeding the mold and get it fixed or dried before removal starts.
The work area is sealed with plastic barriers and put under negative air so spores stay put.
Moldy materials come out and get bagged. Framing is HEPA vacuumed, cleaned and treated.
We test again to confirm spore levels are back to normal, then rebuild with the same team.

Our process & equipment
Containment is the part of mold work you never see in DIY videos. It is also the part that keeps the rest of the house clean while the moldy materials come out.
Plastic barriers with zipper doors and negative air machines keep air flowing into the work area, never out of it.
HEPA air scrubbers capture spores and dust during removal and run until the final cleaning is done.
Moisture meters and thermal cameras find the water feeding the growth and confirm the area is dry before rebuilding.
Local risks
These are the mold problems we find most often in Orange County homes and units.

Leaking shower valves and poor ventilation that let mold grow behind tile and on ceilings.

Slow sink drains and dishwasher leaks that feed mold inside the cabinet base and wall.

Roof leaks and AC condensation that soak insulation and ceiling drywall from above.

Water that was mopped up but never dried properly, showing up as mold months later.
Local reviews
What Orange County customers say about working with our team.
"I've worked with Eli and Green Planet on multiple mold remediation projects… As a property manager, I often have to coordinate work with tenants, and Eli does an excellent job handling communication and scheduling directly with them."
"Previous company caused cross-contamination, but… the Green Planet team cleaned everything, set up a proper barrier, removed contaminated material and post-test certification. They worked extra hard to pass HOA scrutiny."
"Their team assessed the damage caused by the prolonged leak and promptly took action… They went above and beyond by identifying a mold issue in another bathroom during their visit."
"I called them to help with mold and water damage at my place of business… After they removed all mold and water damage they refinished all walls and areas like it never happened."

Mold remediation FAQs
Yes. We inspect with moisture meters and thermal imaging, take air and surface samples when the job calls for it, and test again after remediation to confirm spore levels are back to normal. That record helps with claims, home sales and HOA reviews.
Yes. We schedule directly with tenants, explain what containment means for their unit and send you photos and a written scope. Some Orange County property managers have used us on several mold jobs in a row.
A single bathroom or cabinet area usually takes two to four days, including drying. Larger jobs depend on how much material comes out and whether the water source needs a plumber first.
Removal means taking out the visible growth. Remediation means finding and fixing the moisture source, containing the area, removing the growth and drying everything so it does not come back. We do remediation.
Small surface spots on hard surfaces, maybe. Anything inside walls, ceilings or carpet, or larger than a few square feet, should be contained first. Scrubbing or sanding mold without containment spreads spores to other rooms.
It depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden covered leak is often included in that claim. Mold from long-term humidity or a slow leak usually is not. We document the source and the damage so you and your adjuster can sort it out.

Moisture above this ceiling fed mold in the insulation and drywall. We contained the room, removed the materials and treated the framing.
