Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies on Maui

What Makes Maui Different

Maui is warm all year, and trade winds bring steady rain to the windward side while places like Kihei and Lahaina stay dry and sunny. On the wet side, mold grows fast in closets, crawlspaces and closed up rooms. Wet drywall and cabinets can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so drying has to start quickly.

In August 2023, wind driven wildfires destroyed much of Lahaina and burned homes in Upcountry Kula the same day. Ash and debris from burned buildings can hold asbestos, lead and other toxic materials, so never sweep or sift ash without proper protection, and follow county guidance on cleanup. Smoke odor and soot can linger in homes that did not burn.

Heavy winter rain can send flash floods down streams and gulches, and Iao Stream can rise fast in a storm. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Salt air near the ocean corrodes metal, wiring and air conditioning parts. Termites love damp wood, so fix leaks before they turn into a pest problem too.
