What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Santa Fe
The Santa Fe area our local pros cover for mold removal takes in Pacheco and El Trebol Patio. At around 7,000 feet, the flat-roofed adobe and stucco tradition here drains through canales, spouts that throw water clear of a parapet rather than carrying it down inside the wall.
Housing stock
Close to three fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 57.5 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1986. Flat-roofed stucco and adobe-style construction predominates with a median build year of 1986, most of it single story on high desert ground.
Climate and water risk
Santa Fe averages 14.08 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at SANTA FE 1.6 WSW 0.4 miles away, with July the wettest month at 2.3 inches. July peaks at 2.3 inches of a 14.08 inch total, delivered by monsoon storms onto roofs designed for a much drier average. Intense sun degrades sealant between events, so the details fail during the dry months and are discovered during the wet ones.
Common moisture and mold problems in Santa Fe
- Canales and parapet details failing where high-altitude sun degrades sealant between storms
- Monsoon bursts delivering a large share of the annual total in a handful of intense hours
- Stucco cracking under wide daily temperature swings and admitting water behind the cladding
- Arroyos carrying runoff generated on higher ground through the built-up area

Frequently asked questions
What is a canale and why does it fail?
A spout through the parapet that throws roof water clear of the wall. It fails because it concentrates all the drainage of a roof plane into a small opening, and because the sealant around it is exposed to some of the most intense sun in the country. Blockage or a failed seal puts that whole volume into the wall instead.
Does altitude actually change how a building weathers?
It intensifies the daily temperature swing and the ultraviolet load. Materials expand and contract further each day than they would at lower elevation, and sealants break down faster. The climate averages look mild; what the details experience is a great deal more cycling than those averages suggest.
Fourteen inches of rain a year. Is a flat roof a liability here?
Not inherently, but it is unforgiving of neglect. A flat roof depends entirely on its drainage points working, and here those go months without being tested. The tradition suits the climate; what it does not tolerate is the maintenance interval people apply to a pitched roof.
