Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in Malibu, CA: common questions
Is moldy wood framing always replaced?
No. Solid framing lumber with surface mold is typically cleaned and treated. Replacement is for soft, rotted, or structurally compromised wood.
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for households?
EPA-registered antimicrobials are applied per label instructions, with ventilation during drying before enclosure.
How long before framing can be enclosed?
