Founded in 2002 by David Castro, 3D Environmental Inc. is a water damage restoration and environmental remediation contractor in College Area, San Diego, operating from 6222 University Avenue in the 92115 ZIP with emergency dispatch available around the clock. David's son Drew Castro joined the operation in 2005 and learned the restoration trade on active job sites before moving into project management, giving the company a two-generation ownership structure rooted in hands-on field experience. Water damage restoration is the primary service line, covering emergency water extraction, structural drying with commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers, moisture mapping with thermal imaging cameras, and rebuild of damaged drywall, flooring, and cabinetry. Insurance claim coordination is a standard part of the restoration workflow, and the company documents damage with photo evidence, moisture readings, and itemized scope sheets that align with Xactimate estimating software used by carriers—adjusters from agencies such as Alex Peterson-Cross - State Farm Insurance Agent in San Carlos process the claim paperwork that funds the remediation. Fire damage restoration covers smoke and soot removal, odor neutralization with hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging, structural cleaning of framing and subfloor, and content pack-out and cleaning for salvageable belongings. Mold remediation follows IICRC S520 protocols, with containment barriers, negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment of affected surfaces before rebuild begins. University Avenue through College Area connects to SDSU and the surrounding rental housing stock, where aging plumbing in multi-unit apartment buildings and post-1950s single-family homes generates a steady pipeline of pipe-burst and slab-leak water damage calls. Air duct cleaning rounds out the environmental service menu, removing dust, debris, and microbial growth from HVAC supply and return ductwork to improve indoor air quality after water or fire events. Post-restoration carpet and upholstery cleaning restores soft surfaces to pre-loss condition, and the company coordinates that final phase with City's Finest Carpet Care in College Area for deep extraction work. Emergency response runs through 619-546-0105.
