Solana Beach Mold Risks

Why Solana Beach Homes Are Prone to Mold

Living near the coast in Solana Beach—whether you’re off Lomas Santa Fe Drive or near the Cedros Design District—means battling unique mold risks. The salty ocean air, combined with morning fog, creates a perfect storm for mold growth in:

- Beachfront condos (hidden moisture behind stucco walls)

- Older cottages (poor ventilation in bathrooms)

- Luxury homes (leaky rooftop decks)

Top 3 Mold Hotspots in Solana Beach

1. Basements & Crawl Spaces
Many Solana Beach homes near Highway 101 have underground moisture seepage. We recently found toxic black mold under a home on Nardo Avenue after minor flooding.

2. Behind Drywall
Salt air corrodes pipes over time, leading to slow leaks. A condo on Sierra Avenue had mold growing inside walls for 6 months before residents noticed musty smells.

3. Under Hardwood Floors
Coastal humidity warps flooring in older homes, especially near Seaside Drive. Trapped moisture creates ideal conditions for mold growth.

How to Protect Your Home

1. Inspect annually (especially before June Gloom)
2. Upgrade ventilation in bathrooms/kitchens
3. Check roof seals – salt accelerates wear
