Glen Ellen and Kenwood homes range from older cottages near the creeks to homes rebuilt after the 2017 Nuns Fire. Rural lots and creekside settings add their own moisture questions.
Valley mold risks
- Creekside homes that see high water in big storms.
- Crawlspaces under older homes and cottages.
- Rebuilt homes, where new construction is tight and bathroom and kitchen ventilation matters more. CDPH lists poor venting where water is used as a common moisture source (CDPH).
- Roof leaks from limbs and debris.
Unincorporated area
Glen Ellen and Kenwood are unincorporated, so building permits come from Permit Sonoma. Any remediation that includes construction above the legal threshold needs a CSLB-licensed contractor (CSLB).
