Check Out Final Bill SB665
Talk to our Expert Today for Consultation

California’s newest mold law took effect on 1/1/16 and makes visible mold code enforceable as substandard housing. Such qualified mold is now unlawful under State Housing Law. California is the first state to determine that mold growth is a health and safety concern when it endangers the life, limb, health, property, safety, or welfare of the public or the building’s occupants.

The mold that is minor and found on surfaces that can accumulate moisture as part of their properly functioning and intended use is exempt; such mold is a housekeeping task.

I had a severe water leak due to my bathroom not being waterproofed correctly which caused moisture and mold issues. Joseph and Demi provided me with the reports I needed in order to hold my contractor liable for his faulty work. They were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to help us through this unfortunate problem. This company is among the very few of certified professionals that is approved for legal court documentation requirements.

Our family recently underwent a mold remediation process, which was quite unpleasant. It left us feeling sick and anxious about the possibility of going through it again, especially if we hired a company that didn’t take the time to do the job properly. We realized that air samples alone are not enough to ensure safety! We want to thank Joe for being thorough with his testing, as it provided our family with true peace of mind. We will definitely be using his services again in the near future for more testing and clearance. Thank you!

I recently used GPMI to inspect my home for mold after noticing a musty smell in our Newport North/ Irvine Company home. Joseph and his team were incredibly professional and thorough. As we feared and suspected, abnormal and high levels of MOLS SPORES for the following organisms throughout our Irvine Company home: Aspergillus Penicillium, Chaetomium and Stachybotrys.

They provided a detailed report with their findings, which we relayed to our Attorneys. Without this report and PROOF this property made us ill, the Irvine Company would continue to gaslight and say there "were zero issues with the unit." I would highly recommend them to anyone concerned with potential mold in their home.

GPMI is absolutely wonderful! They are one of the many reasons I am still alive today. After years of chasing my tail, wondering what was causing all sorts of health issues, my naturopath told me to consider environmental factors within the place I was renting. Western medicine was of no help, so I was at my wit's end. I started doing the research and was blessed to find Joe Hernandez and his company. He listened intently to my health issues and concerns. He was so great at being a straight shooter and offering advise on how to go about this. After he conducted the inspection, he provided me with an in-depth report, which provided me with the information I needed to make empowered decisions. I will forever be indebted to him and his team for the wonderful care and service.
