Yesterday was Clean Air Day here in San Diego, and while much of the local and national conversation is centered on outdoor air, the truth is that...
At Orange Restoration, our mission has always been to protect San Diego families from hidden environmental hazards. For many years, our team provided attic cleaning and insulation services. We inspected attics, removed debris, sanitized spaces, and even installed radiant barriers. While these services were valuable in maintaining healthier homes, our journey led us to recognize an even more urgent need in our community: medically sound remediation for individuals suffering from mold-related illness and CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome).
Over time, we shifted away from standard attic cleaning and general insulation work. Why? Because the patients and families coming to us weren’t simply looking for energy efficiency or pest control, they were struggling with serious, life-altering health conditions linked to mold exposure. These conditions demanded a higher level of precision, accountability, and compassion than routine attic maintenance could provide.
Today, our focus is clear:
- Medically Sound Remediation
We follow and exceed IICRC S520 standards, using methods specifically designed for hypersensitive individuals. Our protocols emphasize source removal, containment, and air quality restoration rather than quick cosmetic fixes. - CIRS Patient Support
Roughly 25% of the population carries HLA-DR/DQ genes that make them genetically susceptible to mold illness. These clients need a remediation partner who understands the medical implications of mold exposure. We work closely with CIRS patients, their physicians, and Indoor Environmental Professionals (IEPs) to ensure environments are safe for recovery. - Small Particle Cleaning
The difference between “visibly clean” and medically clean is the presence of ultrafine particles, mold fragments and biotoxins that ordinary cleaning leaves behind. We specialize in small particle cleaning, ensuring homes are truly safe for those with compromised health.
While attic cleaning was once part of what we did, our expertise has evolved to meet the demands of medically fragile clients. We’ve raised the bar from basic home services to a specialized remediation practice built on science, compassion, and accountability.
If you or your family are struggling with mold sensitivity or CIRS, know this: you don’t just need your attic cleaned. You need a whole-home remediation plan designed to eliminate mold at the particle level and give you a medically sound environment in which to heal.
