Cameron Park sits around 1,200 feet on Highway 50, with about 18,000 residents and a layout that goes back to its start as a planned airpark community in the sixties. The Cameron Park Community Services District runs fire, parks, and waste for the town. Between late December 2022 and early January 2023 nine atmospheric rivers hit in three weeks, capped by a bomb cyclone on January 4 and 5, and streets and garages along Knollwood Drive went under. At one house the water rose about a foot and a half in an hour. Sandbags ran out. The governor signed a disaster declaration on January 8.
A garage that held eighteen inches of water for an afternoon soaked the bottom of every wall in it, plus whatever drywall separated it from the house. Fans dried the floor, and by summer the baseboards in the room behind the garage smelled sour. If that is your house, the water is still in the wall. Call us and we route the address to an independent provider who covers Cameron Park; the visit, the scope, and the price are theirs to set.
Yes, once the water has stood against drywall for more than a day. Mold damage repair cuts the wet lower section, dries the plates and studs, and rebuilds to a clean line so the wall does not look patched. When the water reached the hallway, the bedrooms, and the cabinets under the kitchen sink, whole-home mold remediation covers all of it under one scope. For a single wet wall where the water came from a known spot, ordinary mold removal is enough.
The Cameron Park Community Services District handled the sandbag lines and the fire calls during those storms, and the same district is where a homeowner asks about drainage on a lot that flooded. Green Valley Road toward Placerville went under in the same week, so plenty of houses outside the district lines took water too. Keep every photo from those days; an adjuster wants to see the water line on the garage wall next to the provider's moisture readings.
Call (209) 764-2249 and tell us how deep the water got and how long it stayed. Those two numbers set the size of the job.
Sealed containment, negative air, and removal of the wet drywall, trim, and insulation behind a stain in a Kirkwood condo or a foothill home.
Dark growth on a closet wall or under a window handled the same careful way as any other color: find the water, remove what is porous.
Room-by-room containment after a pipe split in an empty unit in January or a roof leak ran unseen through a whole ski season.
Roof sheathing and insulation fouled by ice dams, warm-side condensation, or a bath fan venting into the attic, cleaned and dried under the snow line.
Growth behind a vanity, above a shower, or inside a wall fed by a weeping valve or a fan that never cleared the steam.
Furnace cabinets, coils, ducts, and evaporative coolers cleaned when the musty smell arrives every time the blower kicks on.
Tracking a musty smell to the damp material producing it, removing that material, and treating the air so the smell does not return with the next thaw.
New drywall, trim, insulation, and subfloor installed once the framing reads dry and the leak that started it is closed.
