San Diego Marijuana Grow House Cleanup & Restoration

Devastating Effects of In-House Marijuana Growth 

Illegal marijuana grow-houses in San Diego may cause as much damage financial as a fire, water damage or earthquake. The cost of illegal marijuana grow houses can be equal to or greater than a whole house asbestos abatement remediation project. The inherent abundance of chemicals used, whether it be round up, toxic pesticides, weed-killer, fertilizers alone and their off-gassing are human carcinogens which may cause cancer. Proper remediation must be done using extensive “PPE” (personal protection equipment), it is advised not to be in an illegal grow-house, after it’s discovery without the use of personal protection equipment – this includes law enforcement, realtors, landlords, home inspectors or insurance adjusters.

While moisture is necessary for marijuana to thrive, it serves as the perfect facilitator for toxic mold and spores growth within any home. You may find toxic mold growing on the ceilings, walls, floors, as well as your ventilation systems. Consequently, the air will be contaminated and become harmful to the wellbeing of the residents. For such homes, adequate cleaning and remediation will be necessary to restore and decontaminate the house into a habitable space.

Most people into marijuana business tends to rewire the grow houses severally to bypass expensive electrical bills. Such a frequent rewiring process increases the possibility of a house fire by 40%.
