The problem

Restoration is a clock.
Most companies miss it.

On an island with limited contractors and freight delays, getting the right crew on-site within the first hour is the difference between a write-off and a recovery.

Kauai's climate breeds mold.

Trade winds and humidity make even small leaks turn into colonies. By the time it's visible, it's usually behind the wall too.

Water doesn't wait.

Within hours, drywall swells. Within 24, mold begins. Insurance carriers won't pay for damage caused by delay — they pay to mitigate it fast.

Fire damage is more than soot.

Smoke residue is acidic. Every hour it sits, it etches metal, stains stone, and saturates fabric. Cleanup window is measured in hours, not days.

Services

Three disciplines.
One licensed contractor.

Mitigation and reconstruction handled under one license (BC-39135). No handoffs to a second contractor halfway through your claim.

I had a water pipe burst under the slab of my house. We shut off the water and called Tanner of Kauai mold and fire and he was there within an hour and a half. He explained the process of what would happen after he showed me readings while I was standing there with his machines to show the moisture content of what walls versus drywall's wet slabs versus dry slabs. Very professional he also speaks Insurance claims very well as that is mostly a process that he will deal with in most of his situations in his business, which put me at ease right away With an hours of our meeting, his Crew was on the site with heaters dryers, taping things off ceiling up the affected rooms and cutting out drywall It kind of happened so fast got me a little nervous But all is going well I would recommend this company to anybody and I have been on the island for 40 years and a business owner for over 25 years here on The island of Kauai

Tanner and his team at Kauai Mold, Water and Fire are extremely responsive and professional. They helped give us fast and very detailed quotes for the mold remediation work and associated repairs as well as helped us problem solve as to the most cost effective way to address the issues. I can't recommend them enough!

This was the second time we used Kauai Mold’s service. Mike’s team completed all the preventative jobs and paperwork for the insurance company promptly and professionally. We remotely manage our rental properties in Kauai, and his team was a great help to recover from a significant water damage caused from the failed water heater in the unit above. We highly recommend Kauai Mold Inc.

5 stars for Kauai Mold! When we found extensive water damage in our condo we immediately called Kauai Mold - they came out and not only did the mitigation but helped us renovate our kitchen - what could have been a very stressful situation went smoothly because of Tanner and his team. We are so grateful for them and would recommend them to anyone!

The guys at Kauai Mold are exceptional! Especially Tanner and Isaiah who ran the company serving our needs in difficult times when you have a water leak and damage. They are professional, timely and knowledgeable. They worked directly with us to make sure our repairs got done quickly and cost effectively. I have used their company three times now on different jobs and every project has been a success!! I would definitely recommend them and use their services again! Thanks Isaiah for taking care of us!

Every job. Every time.

Kauai Mold Water Fire is owner-operated out of Kilauea. When you call, you reach Tanner or someone he trained personally — never a call center, never a sub-contractor, never a mainland franchise.

We've earned the trust of homeowners, vacation rental managers, schools, medical facilities, and government agencies across Kauai by doing the work the way it's supposed to be done: fast, documented, and honest. That's it. That's the model.

FAQ

What people ask
before calling.

Don't see your question? Call us — every assessment and consultation is free.

  • Our standard for emergency calls anywhere on Kauai is 60 minutes or less. We staff dispatch 24/7 — when you call, you reach a real person, not a voicemail.

  • Yes. We work with every major carrier and handle scope, documentation, and billing directly with your adjuster. You don't front the cost — we coordinate the claim from start to finish.

  • Call us anyway. Inspections and assessments are free, and we'll tell you on-site whether the loss is likely covered before you ever open a claim.

  • On island. Owner-operated out of Kilauea. Every job is run by our crew — never sub-contracted to a mainland franchise.

  • We do free visual inspections. If lab testing is needed for clearance or insurance documentation, we coordinate independent third-party testing so the results aren't biased toward our scope.

  • Yes. We're a Licensed General Contractor (BC-39135), so mitigation and reconstruction happen under one roof. One number to call, one invoice, one schedule.

  • Sudden water and fire losses are usually covered by a standard homeowner policy. Mold is a separate question — it's often excluded or capped by a sublimit, even when the water that caused it was covered. We'll help you document the claim either way, and for out-of-pocket work you'll get a written estimate before any work begins — no surprise invoices.
