Why Hemet Properties Face Unique Remediation Challenges
Hemet has deep roots in the San Jacinto Valley. Founded in 1887 when the Lake Hemet Water Company began developing the area, the city was incorporated on January 20, 1910—making it one of the original cities in what would become Riverside County. The formation of Lake Hemet Dam in 1895 provided a reliable water source that transformed the valley into an agricultural hub, with commodity crops including citrus, apricots, peaches, olives, and walnuts defining the local economy for decades.
Today, Hemet is home to approximately 90,000 residents spread across a diverse mix of neighborhoods. Downtown Hemet preserves the city’s historic character with Craftsman-style bungalows dating back to the 1920s. Diamond Valley, near the southern reservoir, offers newer single-family homes with mountain views. Page Ranch on the west side features more recent construction alongside active adult communities. Terra Linda in the north has been anchored by condo developments since the 1980s. Other established neighborhoods include Weston Park near Florida Avenue, the 55+ communities of Seven Hills, Valle Hermosa, Sierra Dawn Estates, and Four Seasons, plus newer developments in Winchester and Stoney Mountain. Just beyond the city limits, East Hemet and Valle Vista extend into unincorporated territory toward the San Jacinto Mountains.
Hemet’s climate is classified as hot-summer Mediterranean. Summers bring temperatures in the 80s and 90s during the day—sometimes pushing past 95°F—while winter temperatures settle into the 40s to 60s, occasionally dipping into the 30s at night. The valley receives only about 11 to 12 inches of rainfall annually, concentrated between November and March. Humidity stays relatively low most of the year, ranging from around 41% in late summer to 56% in early spring. With roughly 271 sunny days per year, Hemet enjoys more sunshine than most of California.
This climate creates specific remediation challenges. The dramatic temperature swings between day and night can cause condensation inside walls and attics. When winter storms arrive, they often come in concentrated bursts that overwhelm aging drainage systems. Properties built during Hemet’s 1970s-1990s construction boom have plumbing, HVAC systems, and roofing that may be 30 to 50 years old—prime candidates for leaks and moisture intrusion. The median year built for Hemet homes is 1983, which means many properties contain materials and systems from an era when building standards differed significantly from today. Notably, mobile and manufactured homes account for nearly 24% of Hemet’s housing stock, presenting their own unique ventilation and moisture management challenges.
Services We Offer in Hemet
Mold Removal in Hemet
Mold can take hold quickly in Hemet homes when moisture problems develop—sometimes within 24 to 48 hours of a water intrusion event. Many Hemet properties have older HVAC systems that struggle to properly regulate humidity, especially during the transitional seasons when daytime heat and cooler nights create condensation. Our vetted mold remediation professionals follow IICRC S520 protocols, establishing proper containment, using HEPA filtration, and applying antimicrobial treatments to address the problem at its source. Every job includes documentation of the work performed so you have a clear record of what was done.
Water Damage Restoration in Hemet
Water damage in Hemet often comes from aging plumbing in 1970s and 1980s-era homes, supply line failures, water heater leaks, or storm runoff during the rainy season. The San Jacinto Valley’s geography can also create localized flooding when heavy rains hit. Our vetted Water Damage Restoration specialists respond quickly to extract standing water, set up professional drying equipment, and monitor moisture levels until your property is properly dried. Acting fast prevents secondary problems like mold growth, structural damage, and warped materials.

Mold Testing in Hemet
Not sure if you have a mold problem? Visible growth is obvious, but mold often hides behind walls, under flooring, or in HVAC systems where it’s not immediately apparent. Air quality testing and surface sampling can identify whether mold is present and what types are involved. This information helps determine whether remediation is necessary and what approach makes sense. If testing shows no significant mold presence, we’ll tell you—there’s no reason to pay for work you don’t need.
Asbestos Removal in Hemet
With a median construction year of 1983, Hemet’s housing stock sits right at the edge of the asbestos transition period. Homes built before 1980 commonly contain asbestos in floor tiles, insulation, popcorn ceilings, pipe wrapping, and roofing materials. Even properties built in the early 1980s may contain some asbestos-containing materials, as the phaseout happened gradually. The older Craftsman bungalows and ranch-style homes from the 1920s through 1940s have even higher likelihood of asbestos presence. Before any renovation, remodel, or demolition work on pre-1990 Hemet properties, Asbestos Testing can identify whether hazardous materials are present. If they are, licensed abatement professionals handle removal according to Cal/OSHA regulations and South Coast AQMD Rule 1403 requirements.
Why Choose MoldRx for Home Remediation in Hemet?
MoldRx didn’t begin in a boardroom—it began at a dinner table. Tyler and Adrian, neighbors turned friends, met for dinner nearly every Friday. With more than 20 years of experience in mold remediation on one side and over 20 years in digital marketing on the other, their conversations consistently returned to the same issue: property owners had no reliable way to know who they could trust for remediation. MoldRx was born from that shared vision of bringing transparency and integrity to an industry that desperately needed both.

Hemet FAQs
How fast can MoldRx respond to emergencies in Hemet?
We coordinate rapid response for water damage and mold emergencies in Hemet and the San Jacinto Valley. While we avoid making specific time promises we can’t guarantee, our goal is to get qualified professionals to your property as quickly as possible—especially for active water damage where every hour matters.
What makes Hemet homes prone to mold issues?
Hemet’s dramatic temperature swings between day and night create condensation inside walls, attics, and crawlspaces. Many properties have aging HVAC systems from the 1970s-1990s construction era that don’t regulate humidity effectively. The high percentage of mobile and manufactured homes in the area also presents unique ventilation challenges. When winter storms deliver concentrated rainfall, older roofing and drainage systems can allow moisture intrusion that quickly leads to mold growth.
Do most Hemet homes contain asbestos?
With a median construction year of 1983, Hemet has a moderate likelihood of asbestos presence. Properties built before 1980 commonly contain asbestos materials, while those built in the early 1980s may still have some asbestos-containing products. The older Craftsman homes from the 1920s-1940s have higher asbestos probability. Newer construction from the 2000s onward has no asbestos concern. Testing before renovation is the only way to know for certain.
What are common causes of water damage in Hemet?
Aging plumbing in 1970s and 1980s-era homes is a frequent culprit, including supply line failures, water heater leaks, and corroded pipes. Storm damage during the November-March rainy season can overwhelm older drainage systems and cause roof leaks. The San Jacinto Valley’s geography can create localized flooding during heavy rain events. Water heaters in non-climate-controlled garages are particularly vulnerable to failure in Hemet’s temperature extremes.
How do I know if I need mold testing in Hemet?
Testing makes sense when you notice musty odors without a visible source, when family members experience unexplained respiratory symptoms or allergies, after any water damage event (even if it seemed minor), when buying or selling a home, or when visible discoloration appears on walls, ceilings, or flooring. If you’re unsure, a conversation with us can help determine whether testing is warranted for your specific situation.
Does MoldRx serve commercial properties in Hemet?
Yes. We serve residential homeowners, commercial properties, industrial facilities, and retail spaces throughout Hemet and the San Jacinto Valley. Commercial properties face their own challenges, including larger square footage, business continuity concerns, and regulatory requirements. Our vetted professionals have experience with properties of all sizes and types.
What should I do while waiting for a water damage professional?
Stop the water source if you can safely do so. Move furniture and valuables away from affected areas. Don’t use household fans to dry water damage—this can spread mold spores if growth has already begun. If there’s any electrical hazard concern, stay out of flooded areas. Document the damage with photos if possible. These steps help minimize damage while you wait for professional help.

We then coordinate with vetted professionals who have the right expertise for your specific situation. Throughout the process, you have a single point of contact for questions and updates.
