Mold Remediation
Safe, certified, and verified clean.
Pacific Northwest moisture means mold is a year-round risk. We perform safe, contained remediation following IICRC S520 standards, with HEPA air scrubbing, antimicrobial treatment, and post-remediation verification. We don’t just remove what you can see—we eliminate the moisture source so it doesn’t come back.
Why mold thrives in the Puget Sound
Our climate gives mold everything it needs: relative humidity above 60% for much of the year, mild temperatures, and aging building stock with limited ventilation in crawlspaces, attics, and bathrooms. Add a small water leak or condensation issue, and mold colonies can establish within 24–48 hours. Most homes we inspect have at least one elevated-moisture area whether visible mold is present or not.
The IICRC S520 standard—why it matters
S520 is the industry standard for professional mold remediation. It defines containment requirements, PPE protocols, removal procedures, and clearance criteria. We follow S520 on every job—not because it’s required (Washington has no mold-remediation license requirement) but because it’s the only proven way to remove mold without spreading spores throughout the rest of the home.
Source remediation, not just removal
Removing visible mold without addressing the moisture source guarantees regrowth. Every remediation we perform starts with identifying and correcting the cause—a leaking pipe, failed flashing, inadequate ventilation, foundation seepage, condensation on uninsulated lines. We document the source and the correction so future inspections, real-estate transactions, and insurance reviews have a complete record.
